Whether you're shopping for something to bring to a festive gathering or you want some unique snacks to look forward to after work, consider trying Aldi's latest Park Street Deli dips.

They come in spicy hot-honey or zesty cranberry-jalapeño flavors, and each 8-ounce tub costs $2.80. Both can pair with your favorite chips or veggies, though the cranberry-jalapeño may be especially festive on a turkey sandwich.
