They say everything is bigger at Costco.
If you listen closely, you can hear “Jingle Bells” playing faintly in the background somewhere because the holiday season is right around the corner.
With that being said, Costco, everyone’s favorite warehouse store, is getting into the holiday spirit early by releasing a massive $189 5-foot-tall Advent calendar — made entirely of chocolate.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Content creator Laura Lamb showed off the giant, human-sized Lindt chocolate Advent calendar being sold at the warehouse giant in a recent Instagram post.
In the caption of her video, she wrote, “It’s human-sized! Costco has the giant @lindt_usa Advent Calendar! 24 full-size chocolates and holiday vibes.”
According to her post, the novelty item is currently available in Costco stores in the Northeast region, the Northwest region, the Southeast region, and, as of tomorrow, the San Diego region.
Who wouldn’t love counting down the days until Christmas while indulging in a different full-sized Lindt chocolate each day?
“No way!!! This is epic!!!!” one fan wrote under Lamb’s post.
“I need this SO badly!!!!” read another comment.
Keeping with the holiday spirit — if you find yourself short on time this Thanksgiving or Christmas but you need to bring something to the holiday party your neighbor is hosting, thankfully, Costco has you covered with its 58-ounce pumpkin pie.
To put that into perspective, the jumbo sweet treat weighs in at 3 pounds and 10 ounces.
The best part? The fall-spiced Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie is only $5.99 — that’s practically free in this economy.
“Already got one and brought my neighbor, [who is] 104, a slice too! She was excited,” a fan of the deal shared.
“Someone tell me how they can sell this for only $5.99? It is the best deal!!!” someone else excitedly wrote.
Chocolate calendars and massive pumpkin pies aside — another sweet treat that’s making customers go bananas is the Kirkland Signature Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf.
Supposedly, the beloved bakery item — which was first spotted in stores in 2017 — has made many on-and-off appearances on shelves throughout the years.
Since this past June, the 38-ounce $9.99 loaf has finally reappeared and according to a Costco employee, it is a seasonal item, so customers should grab it while they can before it vanishes off shelves again.
