What is Thanksgiving dinner delivery?

It is a chef-prepared holiday meal shipped to your home. Our meals arrive frozen, packed with dry ice in insulated packaging, and ship by FedEx or UPS. You thaw, heat and serve. It is not hot local catering, so you control when dinner hits the table. Browse every option in our Thanksgiving meal delivery collection.

Which Thanksgiving dinner should I order?

Pick by guest count first, then by the centerpiece your family wants.

Check each product page for exact contents, servings and heating steps, because they vary by dinner.

Can I build my own Thanksgiving dinner?

Yes. Start with a centerpiece like the Herb Roasted Whole Turkey or the Ham and Turkey Duo. Then add classic sides such as Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Almondine and Crème Fraîche Mashed Potatoes. Finish with the Holiday Pie Duo or a Pumpkin Swirl Cake. You can find more in our sides and desserts categories.

When should I order Thanksgiving dinner delivery?

Order early. Delivery timing depends on the product and the shipping method you choose, so check our current Delivery Dates & Shipping Schedule before you check out. Then leave time to thaw. Our whole roasted turkey needs 2-3 days to thaw in the refrigerator. The USDA notes that a large frozen turkey needs about 24 hours of refrigerator thawing for every 5 pounds (USDA FSIS: The Big Thaw).

Can I send Thanksgiving dinner as a gift?

Yes. Enter your loved one's address at checkout and add a free gift message. It is a thoughtful way to feed parents, grandparents or anyone who cannot travel this year. Make sure they have freezer space and can receive the package promptly. See how it works or explore more meal gifts.
