Costco's snack aisles are always loaded with tempting stuff, but these fresh arrivals for early 2026 really stand out. Last time I hit the warehouse for my usual haul of rotisserie chicken and bulk paper towels, I tossed a couple of these in on a whim – big mistake, because now they're gone in days at my house. If you're looking for crunchy, flavorful grabs that hit the spot during game day or a late-night unwind, these five newcomers are worth squeezing into your cart before they vanish.
These light, puffed wheat snacks pack a real punch from wild-caught shrimp, giving them that addictive seafood flavor without being greasy or heavy. The big box comes with dozens of individual bags, perfect for portion control when you're mindlessly munching in front of the TV or packing one for the road. They're baked instead of fried, so you get serious crunch without the guilt, and that subtle salty-sea vibe keeps you reaching for more – way better than plain old potato chips for something different.
If you're after a snack that's got some staying power, these dry-roasted edamame beans deliver big time with protein and fiber in every handful. Seasoned simply with sea salt and roasted in avocado oil, they snap like nuts but feel lighter, making them ideal for afternoons when you need fuel without crashing later. Gluten-free and keto-friendly too, but honestly, they just taste great – crunchy, a bit nutty, and satisfying enough to tide you over till dinner without spoiling your appetite.
These thick-cut kettle chips bring the heat with real jalapeño kick, balanced by that classic crunchy texture you crave from a good chip. The massive multi-pack is cooked in avocado oil for a cleaner bite, and the spice level is just right – enough to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming everything. Grab 'em for poker night or pairing with a cold one; they're sturdy enough for dipping but disappear quick on their own.
This new mix throws in flavors like Buffalo Wing and Garlic Parmesan alongside the original, turning basic pretzels into something way more exciting. Thin and crispy, they shatter perfectly with each bite, and the seasoned ones add that bold taste without needing any dip – though they're killer with beer cheese if you're feeling it. The variety keeps things interesting when you've got a bag open for weeks, and they're less filling than thicker pretzels, so you can snack longer.
For when you want something sweet but not over-the-top, these pretzels coated in strawberry yogurt hit that salty-sweet combo dead on. The yogurt layer is creamy and fruity without fake-tasting additives, and the pretzel underneath gives real crunch to balance it out. They're made cleaner than a lot of coated snacks – no high-fructose stuff – making them a solid pick for movie nights or stashing at the office when you need a quick treat that feels indulgent but doesn't wreck the day.
