In addition to bringing back its seasonal Almond Nog for another holiday season, Trader Joe's is adding to its festive, dairy-free product range with an all-new non-dairy coffee creamer.
The vegan-friendly 'Cocoa Peppermint Flavored Almond Creamer' naturally makes a sweet companion to coffee but the dairy-free, gluten-free and lactose-free creamer also has the potential to be splashed into oatmeal, pancake batter or even hot chocolate.
Just a few years ago, there were limited plant-based alternatives to holiday food and beverage products for consumers with certain sensitivities and dietary preferences but increasing demand from the mainstream has made a wide range of free-from options available. As the holidays are a time of indulgence for many people, these plant-powered, better-for-you options are also appealing to those who are looking to get an early start on any health-related resolutions.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Plant-based Holiday Alternatives
- As demand for plant-based options grows, there is an opportunity for companies to create more holiday-themed products that cater to dietary restrictions and preferences.
- Multipurpose Non-dairy Creamers
- As consumers look for more versatile and convenient products, there is an opportunity for companies to create non-dairy creamers that can be used in a variety of ways beyond just coffee.
