The Kitchn published a guide to 11 companies offering Thanksgiving meal kits, prepared dishes, sides or full holiday bundles. The options and order windows vary, and the report does not provide a complete price comparison or confirm current availability.
The Kitchn has published a roundup of 11 Thanksgiving meal services, from meal-kit companies to specialty food retailers, offering prepared dishes, sides and full holiday bundles. The guide gives readers alternatives to making every dish themselves, but the menus, serving sizes and ordering windows differ by provider.
The list includes Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Home Chef, which offer holiday meal kits or individual dishes. Blue Apron’s holiday menu is described as available during the week of Nov. 23, with turkey options, sides and three bundles. HelloFresh’s featured dinners and market items are listed for the weeks of Nov. 15 and 22; its full turkey dinner includes roast turkey, gravy, sides and apple crisp. Home Chef is described as offering six holiday meal kits serving up to six people.
Other options include Williams Sonoma and Harry & David, which the article describes as offering customizable or bundled meals. Williams Sonoma’s build-your-own dinner lets customers select from turkey options, sides and dessert; the report says prices start at $20 but does not specify the bundle or serving size for that starting price. Harry & David’s feast is listed for up to 10 people and includes a 10-pound oven-roasted turkey, sides, gravy, cranberry chutney and pumpkin cheesecake.
The roundup also names Goldbelly, Purple Carrot, Omaha Steaks, CookUnity, Marley Spoon and Green Chef. The source gives more detail for some than others: Omaha Steaks is described as selling meal bundles and individual mains, sides and desserts, while CookUnity’s turkey dinner is aimed at subscribers and individual diners. Marley Spoon’s boxes are listed for four to 12 people, and Green Chef’s sides bundle includes seven sides. The supplied report provides no comparable pricing or full menu details for every company.
Choices for Different Holiday Tables
The range matters because Thanksgiving planning can involve different needs: feeding a group, supplementing a homemade turkey, or finding a single prepared meal. The guide identifies services for each approach, including individual sides, meal kits that require preparation and ready-to-heat components.
It also points to different order schedules. The listed dates begin as early as Nov. 8 for Green Chef sides and Nov. 9 for Marley Spoon boxes, while other offers are tied to the weeks immediately before Thanksgiving. For readers comparing options, those dates and serving estimates may be as relevant as the menus. The roundup is a shopping guide, however, not an independent test of each meal’s taste, value or delivery reliability.

The Kitchn’s report is a seasonal shopping roundup by shopping writer Micki Wagner. It says the publication independently selects products and may earn a commission if readers buy through its links; it also says prices were accurate when the article was published. Those disclosures describe the article’s commercial relationship and pricing snapshot, not an endorsement or guarantee of current terms.
The services do not all sell the same kind of product. Some listings focus on meal kits that customers prepare, while others describe prepared turkey, side dishes or full bundles. Subscriber requirements also differ: the source specifically says Marley Spoon’s Thanksgiving boxes do not require a subscription, and describes CookUnity’s offer for subscribers. It does not provide a single standardized comparison of delivery areas, fees or preparation time.
““I scoured the internet looking for the best places to order an entire Thanksgiving dinner and/or round out your spread with a few sides.””

Availability and Final Costs
The supplied report does not establish whether every listed menu is still available, whether the stated order dates apply to the reader’s location, or what shipping fees and taxes may add. It also does not give full prices, serving counts or preparation instructions for every offer. The roundup’s dates and menus should be treated as information from the publication period, not a guarantee of current inventory.
Some entries are brief: Purple Carrot is named without menu or ordering details in the source material, while Goldbelly is described generally as a source of festive starters and sides. The article also does not explain how it chose the “best” services or provide a common scoring system for comparing them.
Check Each Provider Before Ordering
Readers considering a purchase should check the provider’s current menu, delivery area, order cutoff, serving size and total cost before placing an order. They may also need to confirm whether the food arrives prepared, frozen or as a kit requiring cooking. The source does not report a later update to these offers, so current availability remains dependent on each company.
Key Questions
Which services offer full Thanksgiving dinners?
The roundup describes full-meal or bundle options from providers including HelloFresh, Williams Sonoma and Harry & David. It also lists dinner bundles from other services, but offerings and serving sizes vary.
Can I order only sides instead of a full meal?
Yes. The report describes individual sides or sides bundles from several providers, including Blue Apron, Goldbelly, Marley Spoon and Green Chef. Check current menus and order requirements directly with each company.
Which options serve larger groups?
The source says Harry & David’s feast serves up to 10 and Marley Spoon’s boxes accommodate four to 12 people. Home Chef’s listed kits serve up to six. These are the serving ranges reported in the article, not guarantees about portion size.
Are the listed prices and dates current?
Not necessarily. The Kitchn says prices were accurate when its article was published, and the listed order windows relate to that holiday season. Confirm current pricing, deadlines and availability with the provider.
