Osetra Caviar

For an appetizer that will impress your guests, serve them caviar from Costco. Pacific Plaza Osetra Caviar is $51.99 for a 1.76-oz jar of caviar.

Pair it with blini or crackers, capers, diced onions, and hard-boiled eggs to really wow your guests this Thanksgiving.

Jamon Serrano

This Thanksgiving, skip the traditional charcuterie board and wow your guests by serving this Costa Brava Jamon Serrano from Costco.

For just $105.99, you’ll get a whole 14 lb bone-in ham leg, complete with a stand, knife, and cover.

Your guests will love the experience of carving their own jamon serrano, making for a memorable and Instagram-worthy Thanksgiving spread.

Philips Mini Crab Cakes

These mini crab cakes are a fancy appetizer that will elevate your Thanksgiving party. You can bake or air fry them and serve them alongside lemon wedges or tartar sauce.

Priced at $22.89, they offer a touch of sophistication while still being budget-friendly.

Kirkland Signature Panko Breaded Shrimp

If you want a hot seafood appetizer, Costco’s Kirkland Signature Panko Breaded Shrimp costs $16.99 for a 40-ounce box. These butterfly shrimp have a panko coating and can be baked or cooked in the air fryer.

Serve them on a platter with lemon wedges and dipping sauces.

Shrimp Cocktail

One simple way to impress your guests this Thanksgiving is by serving shrimp cocktails. Costco has one of the lowest prices on shrimp cocktails, at just $55.99 per platter.

Be sure to order ahead at Costco. Each platter serves up to 24 to 28 people with succulent shrimp and tangy cocktail sauce—an upscale addition to your Thanksgiving appetizer spread.

Stonemill Kitchens Caramel Apple Cranberry Baked Brie Kit

Costco’s Stonemill Kitchens Caramel Apple Cranberry Baked Brie Kit is an elegant addition to your Thanksgiving appetizer spread.

For only $12.99, you get a rich, creamy brie nestled in a flaky puff pastry crust topped with caramel apple cranberry chutney, and roasted pecans. This dish is sure to impress your guests.

All you need to do is assemble the ingredients, pop it in the oven and serve it warm for a deliciously gooey treat that everyone will love.

Kirkland Signature Cheese Flight

A cheese board is one of the easiest ways to give guests something to nibble on before dinner.

Costco’s Kirkland Signature Cheese Flight costs $23.99 for 1.8 pounds and brings several cheeses together in one package.

Arrange them on a board with crackers, grapes, and sliced apples for a Thanksgiving appetizer that doesn’t take up oven space.

Raclette

Want to wow your guests with something fun? Instead of a traditional cheese board, serve raclette as an appetizer.

Costco’s Mifroma Sliced Raclette is $14.89 for two 10.5-ounce packs. I have a raclette grill that I will be using during Thanksgiving.

I usually set out sliced baguette, cooked baby potatoes and mushrooms, then I let guests melt their cheese in the little raclette pans and spoon it over their bites.

It’s a fun way to get everyone gathered around before Thanksgiving dinner.

Cuisine Adventures French Onion Soup

For a warm first course, look for Cuisine Adventures French Onion Soup in the freezer aisle.

For $15.99, you get six individual portions, with slowly simmered onions, Swiss cheese, and croutons.

Fresh Organic Turkey

Thanksgiving is not complete without a whole Turkey as the centerpiece.

To truly impress your guests, serve organic turkey instead of settling for less. You can find fresh (not frozen) organic turkey at Costco.

Spiral Ham

A Kirkland Signature Hickory Smoked Spiral Ham gives you another main dish to serve alongside turkey.

It’s also an option for guests who prefer ham.

La Terra Fina Cranberry & Jalapeño Dip & Spread

CFor a seasonal addition to your appetizer table, La Terra Fina Cranberry & Jalapeño Dip & Spread costs $9.49 for a 31-ounce tub. You can serve it warm or chilled.

Serve it with crackers or sliced bread, or use a little as a spread for turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving.

French Macarons

Impress your guests by serving French Macarons at your Thanksgiving party. Each box contains 36 macarons in six flavors: crème brûlée, pistachio, chocolate, red velvet, salted caramel, and French vanilla.

These imported macarons cost $11.99 per box. They are affordable and will instantly elevate your Thanksgiving dessert table.

Dessert Italiano Tiramisu Dessert Cups

For individual desserts that are easy to serve, look for Dessert Italiano Tiramisu Dessert Cups. It comes in a set of 6 individual cups, ready to serve for just $10.79.

Made with Italian mascarpone, the desserts come in reusable glass cups

Whether hosting a small dinner or a big party, this dessert is an easy way to impress your guests.

Stonemill Kitchens Cranberry Sauce

Costco’s Stonemill Kitchens Cranberry Sauce costs $6.59 for a 36-ounce container. Made with whole cranberries, it’s a shortcut for the Thanksgiving table when you want to spend your prep time on other dishes.

Spoon it into a serving bowl to put alongside the turkey, and save any extra for leftover sandwiches.

Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers can make your Thanksgiving table feel festive without an elaborate centerpiece. Check Costco’s floral selection for an arrangement that works with your table and choose something low enough that guests can comfortably talk across it.
