From throwing holiday parties and cookie swaps to buying hostess gifts and stocking stuffers, it seems the trips to the store never end in December. That's just another reason why we love Costco; it's a one-stop shop for all our holiday needs. And Costco seems to sense that everyone's looking to save where they can this year, or at least their latest drop of monthly deals suggests it.

Costco has discounted everything you need for charcuterie boards, cookie platters, and (practically) everything you need to make hearts merry and bellies full this holiday season. We scoured Costco's website for the best sales (so you don't have to), and here are our top picks for the deals you should be taking advantage of this month.
