The fall food season has begun (in terms of retail) and vegan finds are already popping up on store shelves. This fall and holiday season is shaping up to be a busy one, so I’ll be updating this post weekly with brand items for 2026, so you’ll know what’s new to look for on your next grocery run.

Walmart has new Halloween sugar cookies with no artificial colors for $4.97 for a 10 oz tub and $1 each single pack cookies in stores now.

Aldi USA has an oat milk pumpkin spice latte and savory pumpkin herb hummus hitting shelves week of 8/31/26.

New Olipop caramel apple soda already spotted at Sprouts Farmers Market. Retail is $2.99.

Duncan Hines is releasing Peanuts themed baking mixes this fall and I’ve confirmed these two are vegan friendly and will check the others when they’re available in stores.

The Coconut Cult new spooky brownie batter yogurt spotted at Target.

New Drizzlicious apple pie bites are out now spotted at Five Below and other retailers.

New BoBo’s apple cider donut oat bites should be showing up at Whole Foods, Sprouts and at TJMax stores now with more retailers coming soon.

New Abe’s Muffins pumpkin cupcakes and pumpkin brownie swirl items are exclusive to Sprouts for the fall 2026 season.

Trader Joe’s has many new products coming out this fall including this pumpkin sourdough bread and organic fall leaf pasta shapes.

Maxine’s Heavenly has what seems to be new pumpkin spice crème sandwiches this year and I already spotted them at Sprouts. I don’t recall seeing them before and not sure where else they might sold this year (thinking Whole Foods and possibly some regional retailers) but reviews have been all positive so far.

Frönen just released a seasonal fall apple pie flavor frozen dessert out now at Whole Foods.

Publix stores (a southeastern grocery chain)have a new pumpkin spice flavored spread in their bakery and seasonal displays. It’s kosher pareve like their other spreads and those are labeled vegan and this seems to be as well.

Red Vines just announced new apple pie twists and they’re available on their website now. Unclear if they’re hitting physical store shelves and where yet.

PiiPER just dropped three limited edition fall flavors at stores, all made without artificial coloring and dairy free by ingredient list, with vegan certification reportedly in the works.

Häppy Candy’s new Halloween variety pack comes in two spooky flavor combos, Witch’s Brew Watermelon and Peach plus Zombie Zest Blue Raspberry and Lime, made with vegan pectin instead of gelatin. It’s also free from the top 9 allergens, making it an easy pick for mixed treat bags.

Sour Patch Kids gave its viral blacklight gummy technology a Halloween makeover with ghost shaped Glow Ups in peach and orange. The edible confetti coating glows under blacklight without touching the flavor, so it’s basically a party trick you can eat.

Harken Sweets has Halloween packaged treat sized bars and while the candy flavors aren’t new, this packaging is for the season.

Betty Crocker has two new fall mixes out already at Walmart and most likely regional retailers. If you want a recipe to make them vegan, try my viral better boxed vegan cake method here!
