US grocery frozen food launches 2026

Entities: Kirkland Signature · Vanilla Cookie Crunch Sundae · Costco Wholesale Corporation · Marshmallow Crispy Cookie

Overview

In mid‑June 2026 Costco rolled out a broad frozen‑treat range, and Albertsons highlighted its top‑selling frozen selections. By early July Costco’s assortment expanded to home‑goods, fashion and beauty while reviving the limited‑time Kirkland Signature Marshmallow Crispy Cookies, sparking online buzz.

On July 2 Costco introduced a 12‑item July lineup that added kitchen appliances, outdoor storage, garden hose, and women’s accessories, and brought back the Marshmallow Crispy Cookies at $9.99 for a 24‑pack. Shoppers shared ideas for ice‑cream sandwiches and freezing tips.

A further update on July 27 saw the same Marshmallow Crispy Cookie reappear and a new Vanilla Cookie Crunch Sundae debut in Costco’s food court for $2.99, with some members noting it could displace the Strawberry Shortcake Sundae.

These moves illustrate Costco’s strategy of pairing seasonal frozen‑food novelties with broader merchandise, keeping affordable indulgence and limited‑run items at the forefront of its summer 2026 retail calendar.
