A Fall Favorite Returns: Pumpkin Caramel Kringle Is Back at Trader Joe’s

Beloved flavor Pumpkin Caramel Kringle also available directly from O&H with two-day nationwide shipping

RACINE, WI, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- O&H Danish Bakery today announced that a fall favorite, Pumpkin Caramel Kringle, has returned to Trader Joe’s stores nationwide this month for a limited time, bringing the flavors of pumpkin and caramel to the grocery chain across the U.S. The specialty flavor will also be available directly from O&H Danish Bakery for two-day nationwide shipping from Aug. 31 through Nov. 29.

“We are always excited when it’s time to bring Pumpkin Caramel Kringle back for the season,” said Peter Olesen, president and fourth-generation co-owner of O&H Danish Bakery. “This fall flavor is always highly anticipated by Trader Joe’s and O&H fans alike. Known to sell out quickly at Trader Joe’s, we’ve extended our availability for nationwide shipping directly from O&H, so the treat can be enjoyed all season long.”

Kringle is a traditional Danish pastry made with 36 layers of buttery, flaky dough shaped into an oval and filled with flavors such as fruit, nuts, cheese or chocolate. Traditionally topped with icing, the pastry has become a sought-after find among Trader Joe’s shoppers and through shipping directly from the Wisconsin-based bakery. O&H’s festive Pumpkin Caramel Kringle puts a seasonal twist on the classic pastry, layering its signature dough with pumpkin, warm spices and caramel, before topping it with chopped pecans and sweet icing.

The Pumpkin Caramel Kringle will be available at participating Trader Joe’s stores nationwide for a limited time, while supplies last. At Trader Joe’s, shoppers can find it near the desserts and bread.
