This holiday season, [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-shortbread-cookie-collection) has all your cookie needs covered with its new Baton Lover’s Quartet.

Outside of the holiday season, Trader Joe's is well known for its [crunchy, wafer-style Baton cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-italian-amaretti-cookies). Its new Baton Lover’s Quartet takes several different flavors of these beloved cookies and combines them in one package to create a festive foursome. The holiday version features the classic, baton-shaped, filled wafer cookies in four flavors: Cookies & Cream, [Chocolatey Orange](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-dark-chocolate-orange), Hazelnut, and Cocoa. Four freshness, each canister of the cookies features four individually wrapped sleeves.

The new Baton Lover’s Quartet comes in a 16-ounce canister (four ounces of each flavor), and Trader Joe's notes that it "makes a great gift—for a teacher, a neighbor, your postal carrier…"
