The Kitchn has published a shopping guide to 11 services offering Thanksgiving meal bundles, meal kits, mains, sides and desserts. The guide describes a range of formats and serving sizes, but prices, availability and menus may change and should be checked with each provider.
The Kitchn has published a list of 11 services offering Thanksgiving meal bundles, meal kits and individual dishes, giving holiday hosts alternatives to shopping for and preparing every part of the meal. The options range from a turkey-and-sides feast to add-on dishes and meals for smaller groups, but customers should confirm current menus, prices and delivery dates directly with each provider.
The guide names Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Home Chef among the meal-kit options. Blue Apron’s holiday selection, according to the report, includes turkey choices and sides such as baked macaroni and cheese, stuffing and mashed potatoes, with the option to order individual dishes rather than a full dinner. Home Chef was listed as offering six holiday meal kits serving up to six people.
Some services offer a more complete meal. The Kitchn described Harry & David’s Gourmet Turkey Feast as including a 10-pound oven-roasted turkey, gravy, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry chutney and pumpkin cheesecake, with food for up to 10 people. Williams Sonoma’s build-your-own dinner lets customers select among turkey options, sides and dessert, while Marley Spoon’s boxes were described as serving groups of four to 12, including an option focused on sides.
Other entries cover different needs: Goldbelly for restaurant-style starters and sides; Omaha Steaks for mains, sides, desserts and dinner bundles; CookUnity for an individual turkey dinner; and Green Chef for a sides bundle. The guide also includes HelloFresh and Purple Carrot in its 11 picks, though the supplied report gives limited or no specific menu details for Purple Carrot.
Options for Different Holiday Tables
The list matters to hosts weighing time, effort and group size. A full bundle may reduce the number of dishes a cook has to make, while à la carte sides can supplement a homemade turkey or accommodate a host who wants to keep only part of the meal simple. The offerings described also range from a single-person dinner to packages for larger gatherings.
Ordering prepared food does not remove the need to plan. Customers need to check serving counts, delivery windows, heating instructions and total cost, including any shipping or service fees. The report provides examples of the choices available in its coverage period, not a guarantee that every item is still for sale or will suit every household’s budget and dietary needs.

How the Guide Compares Services
The Kitchn’s article is a product and shopping guide, not an announcement from the listed companies. Its writer says she searched for places to order a complete Thanksgiving dinner or add dishes to a holiday spread. The article notes that the publication independently selects products and may earn a commission if readers buy through its links; it also says prices were accurate when the piece was published.
The source ties several menus to specific dates in the Thanksgiving season it covers. For example, it gives Blue Apron’s holiday offerings for the week of November 23, and lists some Green Chef sides as available to order starting November 8. These dates are part of the source article’s seasonal schedule, not confirmation of current availability. The source does not provide a publication year in the supplied material, so readers should verify dates and menus before placing an order.
““All prices were accurate at the time of publishing.””
— The Kitchn
The source material does not establish whether all 11 services currently offer the listed products, or whether the dates and prices remain valid. It supplies few details for some entries, including Purple Carrot, and does not give a full price comparison across providers. Specific delivery areas, order deadlines, dietary accommodations and shipping charges are also not consistently stated.
Availability can depend on location and order timing. The article’s seasonal dates lack a stated year in the supplied text, so they should not be treated as a current ordering calendar. Readers should check each provider’s website for up-to-date stock, delivery coverage, serving sizes and preparation directions.
Check Ordering Details Beforehand
Anyone considering a catered or partially prepared Thanksgiving meal should compare providers’ current offerings and confirm the order deadline before choosing a menu. Check how many people each package serves, whether the food arrives chilled or frozen, what kitchen equipment is needed, and how long reheating takes. Hosts should also review ingredient and allergen information with the provider and plan safe storage and handling according to the product’s instructions.
The next development is seasonal rather than regulatory: each company’s ordering window and inventory will determine what customers can actually buy. Prices, menus and delivery dates remain subject to change; the source article does not report a single launch or policy change shared by all 11 services.
Key Questions
Which services in the guide offer a complete Thanksgiving meal?
The Kitchn describes full-meal options from providers including Harry & David, Williams Sonoma and Marley Spoon. It also lists bundles from other companies, but current package contents and availability should be checked with each provider.
Can I order only sides instead of a full dinner?
Yes. The guide says Blue Apron offers individual dishes, and Marley Spoon has an “Everything But the Turkey” box. Green Chef and Goldbelly are also presented as options for sides, though menus may vary by season.
How many people do the meal options serve?
Serving sizes vary. The source says Harry & David’s feast serves up to 10, Marley Spoon’s boxes serve groups of four to 12, and Home Chef’s holiday kits serve up to six. Confirm the serving estimate for the specific dish or bundle you plan to order.
Are the prices and dates in the guide still current?
Not necessarily. The Kitchn says prices were accurate when its article was published, and the supplied material does not identify the publication year. Check each company’s current listings for prices, order cutoffs, delivery areas and holiday availability.
