Many Americans reach for a pumpkin pie to complete their Thanksgiving feast, but Costco typically offers a Pumpkin Cheesecake around the holiday season — and it’s back, per a post from Costco Buys (@costcobuys) on Instagram.
The influencer included a short video clip showing off several Pumpkin Cheesecakes being sold at the bakery section within their local Costco.
“Costco brought back their Pumpkin Cheesecake at the bakery, and I’m ALL about it!” they exclaimed in a caption.
Customers can expect “a sweet graham [cracker] crust with a rich, delicious pumpkin flavor” in the hallowed cheesecake.
Although Costco Buys and other members agreed that the “spiced sour cream topper” along the edges was the pièce de résistance.
The Pumpkin Cheesecake also weighs about 4.88 pounds and can serve an entire family.
The best part is that the cheesecake is only going for $19.99, a sweet deal exclusively for Costco members.
There are two membership options at Costco — Gold Star and Executive.
Gold Star starts at $65 annually, and Executive is packed with some additional benefits for $130 per year.
HIGH PRAISE
Many were ecstatic to see the Pumpkin Cheesecake’s comeback this month.
“Omg, MY FAVORITE!” someone commented on Costco Buys’ post.
“Saw this today!” another exclaimed.
“Definitely getting this tomorrow!” a third wrote.
It’s unclear exactly when each of Costco’s over 600 locations nationwide will be getting the Pumpkin Cheesecakes.
Costco membership sharing guidelines
Costco has strict rules for membership use that shoppers must follow and they’ve been cracking down on offenders in recent years.
- Primary Member Use: Only the primary cardholder can use this Costco membership card. Sharing it for purchases is not allowed as the photo on the card must match the person using it.
- Household Card: Each primary member can add one free household cardholder who lives at the same address. This person will receive their own membership card and can shop at Costco independently.
- Guest Policy: Members can bring up to two guests per visit to Costco. However, only the member can make purchases. Guests must be accompanied by the member.
- Authorized Cardholder: For an additional fee, you can add an authorized cardholder, such as a family member or friend, who doesn’t reside at your address. They will receive their own card and can shop independently.

The U.S. Sun has contacted Costco for more information.
For now, members will likely have to check their local store’s bakery section to learn more.
It’s also not the only food item that customers have been going crazy for at Costco in November.
SNACK SAVINGS
Earlier this month, some claimed that the Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Fillets were just as good as Chick-fil-A but offered for half the cost.
The pre-cooked fillets come in packages of 10 servings, with 240 calories per serving, and costs just $12.99.
Customers only need to place the fillets in an air fryer, conventional oven, or microwave for 18 to 20 minutes before serving.
A “Grade A” snack at Costco has also been flying off shelves.
The Soban Premium Korean Sweet & Spicy Puffs were praised by some shoppers as “the best” chip the warehouse retailer has to offer.
“I’m not a big chip guy personally, but you gotta try this,” a member who bought them wrote in a Reddit thread.
The chips come coated with a Korean fried chicken seasoning and have a drumstick-like shape.
Each bag goes for $8.99 a piece at 10.58 ounces.
