Trader Joe's loves giving its fans a chance to cast their vote with its Annual TJ’s Customer Choice Awards, and now the grocery store brand is giving consumers even more ways to weigh in by letting them choose the brand's new seasonal Scented Candle.
Trader Joe's rotating cast of seasonal Scented Candles has taken the title of “Favorite Household Product” for four years in a row now. With so much love for the products, Trader Joe's wanted consumers to have more of a say in the brand's upcoming release. The brand has since nominated five delightful new scents: Warm Vanilla, Rhubarb, Gardenia, Eucalyptus, and White Tea.
The winner of the seasonal Scented Candle contest will be announced on the brand's Instagram page on Monday, March 13, 2023.
