Ikea’s Holiday Food Line Is So Cute, You Won’t Want to Eat It

I love shopping my way through Ikea's food section and always stock up on things like frozen meatballs and lemon and dill sauce when I visit the furniture store. Ikea also sells delightful Swedish desserts like gingerbread cinnamon buns and blueberry crumble, so it’s totally feasible to pick up an entire pre-cooked meal there any time of year—not just during the holiday season.

Still, the holiday season is pretty magical in Ikea's food section. In addition to year-round staples like cured smoked salmon and hazelnut milk chocolate bars, there are festive finds that range from treat-filled advent calendars to chocolate bars with gingerbread crumbs. And this year, there’s a sweet treat in stores that may be surprising: lots and lots of gingerbread.

Ikea's Gingerbread Collection

Ikea's impressive collection of gingerbread products this year may save you money and time in the kitchen this holiday season. In stores now, you can buy a pound of frozen gingerbread cookie dough, ready to be rolled out, shaped with cookie cutters, and finished off in the oven—for just $4. If you’d rather not bake, you can also grab an assortment of gingerbread people, houses, and heart shapes, all ready-to-eat and priced at $5 or less.

Food TikToker @hediaimsalu shared their Ikea gingerbread find along with a video of them decorating miniature pre-baked gingerbread houses with ease. “Run to Ikea,” they simply wrote in the video caption.

These handy and affordable gingerbread sets are perfect for all of your holiday baking needs, from decorating an eggnog gingerbread trifle to practicing your gingerbread frosting skills. The pick-and-choose element also makes this a great indoor activity with family and friends, so if the Ikea food section wasn't on your radar yet, let this be your starting point.
