10 Thanksgiving Meal Kits You Can Order for 2026
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, 26 November 2026, and if you’re hosting, you already know how quickly the shopping list grows. This year, several major retailers and restaurants are making it easier with bundled Thanksgiving meal kits and heat-and-serve dinners. Some are budget-friendly grocery baskets you cook yourself, while others arrive fully prepared and ready to warm up. Here are 10 options to consider for your holiday table.
1. Walmart Holiday Meal Basket
Walmart’s 2026 Holiday Meal Basket feeds 10 people for about $35, or $3.50 per person, making it one of the cheapest options this year. The 26-item basket includes national brands and Walmart’s own Great Value products, from a Butterball turkey and Stove Top stuffing to ingredients for green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie. Walmart says the basket has 18% more items than last year at a lower price. It’s available through 24 December, and you can add the whole basket to your cart in one click online. Keep in mind that the price is based on a 13.5-pound turkey, so your total may vary depending on the bird’s size and where you live.
2. Aldi Thanksgiving Meal
Aldi’s Thanksgiving meal feeds 10 people for under $39, or less than $3.90 per person. It includes a whole turkey, stuffing mix, carrots, celery, fresh cranberries, Hawaiian sweet rolls, peas, pumpkin pie mix, pie crusts, milk, sweet potatoes and heavy whipping cream. You don’t need coupons, a loyalty card or a membership to get the deal, and Aldi based its meal on the menu used in the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual Thanksgiving dinner cost survey.
3. Target Thanksgiving Meal
Target is offering a Thanksgiving meal that feeds six people for $30, or $5 per person. This year’s meal serves two more people than last year’s at the same per-person price. It includes a turkey, stuffing, gravy and six more items. Pricing is valid from 8 to 29 November, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Note that dessert isn’t included, so you’ll need to pick up a pie separately.
4. Amazon $25 Thanksgiving Meal
Amazon’s $25 Thanksgiving meal is the lowest headline price on this list. It includes an 8-pound Butterball turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy mix, mac and cheese, stuffing, the ingredients for green bean casserole, potatoes, corn, carrots, crescent rolls and the makings of a pumpkin pie. It’s available through 26 November, while supplies last, with free same-day delivery on orders of $25 or more in more than 2,300 U.S. cities and towns. Amazon hasn’t said how many people the meal serves, so it’s best suited to smaller gatherings.
5. Sam’s Club Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Meal
For a bigger crowd, Sam’s Club’s 2026 Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Meal includes 11 items for just under $160 and serves up to 16 people, or less than $10 per person. It’s the club’s largest Thanksgiving meal yet, with more protein, including a boneless carver ham, a charcuterie tray for pre-dinner snacking and a newly developed gravy. Sam’s Club says the meal is designed to be prepared in about two hours. Members can shop it in-club or add every item to their cart with one click for pickup or delivery.
6. Cracker Barrel Heat n’ Serve Meals
If you’d rather skip the cooking, Cracker Barrel’s Heat n’ Serve meals arrive fully prepared and just need reheating. The chain’s Thanksgiving dinners include sliced turkey, gravy, dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish, rolls and pie. Options range from a Family Dinner for smaller groups to a larger Feast for 8 to 10 people. Meals are available for pickup from 21 to 29 November and must be ordered at least 12 hours in advance. Prices vary by location, so check the Cracker Barrel website for exact costs near you.
7. Bob Evans Farmhouse Feast
Bob Evans is another popular choice for a ready-to-heat Thanksgiving dinner. Its Farmhouse Feast comes packed cold and can be heated and served in about two hours. Depending on the option you choose, it includes slow-roasted turkey or hickory-smoked ham, along with family-size sides like bread and celery dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans and macaroni and cheese, plus pie. A Premium Farmhouse Feast with both turkey and ham is designed for larger groups. Prices and availability vary by location, so check with your local restaurant before ordering.
8. Whole Foods Market Holiday Meals
For a more premium option, Whole Foods Market offers ready-to-heat Thanksgiving meals that you order ahead online or in store. Its holiday lineup typically includes classic roast turkey meals with sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans and cranberry sauce, in sizes for smaller and larger gatherings. It’s a good pick if you’re looking for higher-quality or organic ingredients. Pricing and order deadlines vary by store, so check the Whole Foods website for current options near you.
9. Market 32 and Price Chopper Thanksgiving Feast
Shoppers in the U.S. Northeast can check out Market 32 and Price Chopper, which are offering a Thanksgiving feast for 10 people for less than $40, or under $4 per person. The deal includes a turkey and all the holiday trimmings, and it runs through Thanksgiving Day.
10. Build Your Own With Discounted Turkeys
If none of the bundles fit your menu, you can create your own meal kit by combining discounted turkeys with sale-priced sides. Target’s Good & Gather frozen turkeys are 79 cents per pound this month, Amazon’s frozen turkeys are also 79 cents per pound through 26 November, and Amazon’s fresh turkeys drop to 99 cents per pound from 14 November. Pair a discounted bird with your favourite sides and desserts to build a meal that suits your guests perfectly.
