The Kitchn has published a roundup of 11 services and retailers offering Thanksgiving meals, meal kits, mains or sides. The options range from individual dishes to bundles for groups, but menus, ordering windows, prices and availability differ by provider and should be checked before ordering.
The Kitchn has published a list of 11 services and retailers offering Thanksgiving meal kits, prepared dishes, sides or full holiday bundles. The guide names options including Blue Apron, HelloFresh, Williams Sonoma and Harry & David, giving households alternatives to preparing every dish themselves; availability, serving sizes and ordering dates vary by company.
The selections span different levels of preparation. Blue Apron is described as offering holiday dishes and bundles during the week of Nov. 23, with customers able to order individual sides such as macaroni and cheese, stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans rather than a full dinner. HelloFresh lists a turkey dinner with sides and apple crisp, as well as a la carte items; the report says some dishes serve between two and 10 people and that the service’s options are for subscribers.
Home Chef is listed with six holiday meal kits serving up to six people, including a turkey breast roast and sides. Williams Sonoma’s build-your-own meal lets customers select from five turkey options, 11 sides and a dessert. Harry & David’s Gourmet Turkey Feast is described as serving up to 10, with a 10-pound oven-roasted turkey, sides, gravy, cranberry chutney and pumpkin cheesecake.
Other entries include Goldbelly for restaurant-style starters and sides; Omaha Steaks for holiday bundles, mains, sides and desserts; and CookUnity for an individual turkey dinner. Marley Spoon is listed with boxes for groups of four to 12 and a sides-only option, while Green Chef is offering sets including a seven-side bundle. The source also names Purple Carrot but provides no menu or ordering details for it.
Options for Different Holiday Tables
The roundup’s value is its range: readers can compare full dinners, partial menus and single dishes, rather than treating catering as an all-or-nothing choice. That could help households that want to reduce shopping and cooking, or simply add a few ready-made sides to a home-cooked meal.
Serving sizes and preparation needs are not uniform. Some listed products are meal kits rather than fully prepared meals, and the source does not give complete reheating instructions for every provider. Shoppers should check what arrives, how much preparation is required, and whether the quantities fit their guest list before placing an order.

The Kitchn’s report is a shopping guide, not a ranking based on a stated test or common scoring method. Its writer says she searched for grocery retailers and meal-delivery services that could supply a full Thanksgiving dinner or help complete a spread. The list combines national meal-kit brands, specialty food sellers and retailers.
The article says prices were accurate when it was published, and notes that the publisher may earn a commission if readers buy through its links. Its schedule refers to a particular Thanksgiving season, with ordering dates ranging from Nov. 8 for Green Chef sides and Nov. 9 for Marley Spoon boxes to the week of Nov. 23 for Blue Apron. Those dates should not be assumed to apply to a later holiday season.
The source does not establish whether the listed products, prices or ordering windows remain available now. Its dates are tied to the season covered by the report, and menus and stock can change. It also supplies no details for Purple Carrot beyond naming the company, and gives limited information about Goldbelly’s specific Thanksgiving offerings.
The roundup does not compare delivery fees, geographic coverage, dietary accommodations or preparation and storage instructions across all 11 providers. Those details remain dependent on each seller and order. Readers should confirm the current menu, delivery area, serving count, final price and food-handling directions directly with the provider.
Check Dates Before Ordering
Customers considering one of the meals should consult the provider’s current holiday page for order deadlines, delivery dates and menu availability. They should also check whether a box requires cooking or reheating, how many people it serves and whether it fits any dietary needs. The source gives no later update confirming which products are still on sale.
Key Questions
Which options in the report offer a full Thanksgiving meal?
The report describes full-meal bundles from providers including HelloFresh, Williams Sonoma and Harry & David. Omaha Steaks is also listed with complete dinner bundles. Confirm each company’s current package contents and serving size.
Can I order only sides instead of a full dinner?
Yes. The guide says Blue Apron sells individual dishes, while Marley Spoon offers an “Everything But the Turkey” box. Green Chef is listed with a Thanksgiving sides bundle, and several other sellers offer sides separately.
How many people do the meals serve?
Serving sizes differ. The source says HelloFresh dishes can serve two to 10 people, Home Chef kits serve up to six, Harry & David’s feast serves up to 10, and Marley Spoon boxes range from four to 12.
Are the listed order dates current?
Not necessarily. The dates in the report refer to the Thanksgiving season it covered. Check each provider’s current holiday listing for updated ordering deadlines and delivery availability.
