This week it snowed where I live. It was just enough to coat the grass, dust the rooftops, and officially kick off the Christmas season. The wreaths are hung, the tree is lit, and the porch is wrapped in garland. I definitely bought too early, but I regret absolutely not at all. Winter décor may set the mood, but the best part of the season is the treats. From peppermint chocolates to pies that I swear disappear faster than I eat them, December turns me into a wide-eyed kid in a toy store all over again.

Naturally, my dog is part of the festivities too. While I’m sampling every baked good known to man, my pup gets to enjoy his own seasonal snacks. And this year, Aldi has unleashed a holiday dog treat so cute and affordable that pet parents are scooping them up faster than the stores can restock.

Pure Being Candy Cane Rawhide Free Dog Treats, $2.99 at Aldi

The Pure Being Candy Cane Rawhide Free Dog Treats are festive, colorful, and shaped like miniature candy canes, but without any of the rawhide that many pet parents avoid. Instead, they’re chewy, digestible, and made with simple ingredients like chicken, vegetable starches, and pea fiber. At just $2.99 for a whole pack, they’re one of the most budget-friendly holiday treats you’ll find this season.

Pet parents love them because they strike the perfect balance between novelty and practicality. They look adorable in stockings, gift baskets, and treat jars, but they’re also great for training rewards or special-occasion snacking. If your pup enjoys a crunchy-chewy hybrid treat, these are basically Christmas morning in every bite.

Seasonal pet items tend to go viral for good reason, and these candy cane treats are tracking right along with the trend. Earlier this month, pet parents went wild for Blue Buffalo Santa Snacks, the kind of treat that smells so good you almost want to try one yourself. And Target shoppers have been raving about Purina Beggin’ Holiday Ham Dog Treats as the go-to savory option of the season.

But Aldi’s treats hit that sweet spot: festive, affordable, and perfect for dogs who love a themed chew. If you see them on shelves, grab them quickly. They’re part of Aldi’s rotating seasonal lineup, which means once they’re gone, they’re gone until next Christmas.
