Costco's New Cherry Fig Bread Is the Winter Treat Everyone's Obsessing Over

Costco has launched a new seasonal loaf that's winning over shoppers and food critics alike. The cherry and fig bread, priced at $8.99, is being hailed as a standout winter treat. Early reviews suggest it could even outshine the retailer's popular cranberry walnut bread.

The hearth-baked loaf is packed with tart dried cherries and figs, giving it a rich, fruity flavour. Its crust comes coated in a mix of pumpkin, flax, and chia seeds, adding texture and depth. Staff at Southern Living HQ put it to the test and gave it glowing feedback, especially when warmed.

The bread's appeal doesn't stop there. On Reddit, customers called it 'amazing' and rated it higher than Costco's beloved cranberry walnut option. Senior travel and culture editor Tara Massouleh McCay recommended serving it warm on Christmas morning, topped with Kerrygold butter. Colleagues agreed—heating it up and spreading on butter made it even better.

While the loaf is available now, it's likely a limited-time offering. Shoppers eager to try it may need to act quickly before it disappears from shelves.

Costco's cherry and fig bread has quickly become a winter favourite, praised for its hearty texture and comforting taste. At $8.99, it's an affordable seasonal indulgence—but its short availability means fans won't want to delay picking one up.
