The Kitchn published a guide to 11 companies offering Thanksgiving meal kits, prepared dishes, sides or full holiday bundles. Menus, serving sizes, prices and order windows differ; the article’s details are tied to the season it covers and should be checked with each provider before ordering.
The Kitchn has published a guide to 11 Thanksgiving meal providers, including meal-kit companies, grocery and specialty retailers, and prepared-meal services. Its list covers options ranging from complete holiday bundles to individual sides and desserts, offering households alternatives to preparing every dish themselves.
The options named in the report are Blue Apron, HelloFresh, Home Chef, Goldbelly, Williams Sonoma, Harry & David, Purple Carrot, Omaha Steaks, CookUnity, Marley Spoon and Green Chef. Their offers are not identical: some require cooking from meal kits, while others include prepared foods that customers heat or serve. The report gives details for several services but does not describe specific menus for every name on the list.
Among the examples, Blue Apron offers holiday dishes and bundles, with individual sides such as macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes also available. HelloFresh lists a turkey dinner with sides and dessert, as well as à la carte items; the report says dish serving sizes range from two to 10 people. Home Chef’s Thanksgiving selection includes six meal kits serving up to six people.
Williams Sonoma’s build-your-own offer lets customers select a turkey, sides and dessert; the article says the selection includes five turkey options and 11 sides. Harry & David’s feast is described as serving up to 10 and includes a 10-pound oven-roasted turkey, sides and pumpkin cheesecake. Marley Spoon’s boxes cover four to 12 people, while CookUnity’s single-person holiday meal is listed for an additional $3. Those prices and seasonal details come from the source report and may change.
The roundup addresses a practical holiday problem: preparing a large meal can require shopping, cooking and coordinating several dishes. A ready-to-heat turkey bundle, a meal kit, or a few delivered sides may reduce some of that work, while allowing customers to keep family recipes or other homemade dishes on the table.
The choice also affects planning. A household serving a large group may need a different provider from someone ordering a meal for one, and some offers are limited to subscribers or specific weeks. Comparing serving sizes, preparation requirements and delivery timing matters as much as comparing menus. The article is a shopping guide, not an independent test establishing that these are objectively the best choices.

How the Holiday Offers Differ
The Kitchn’s writer, shopping writer Micki Wagner, says she reviewed providers that could supply either an entire Thanksgiving meal or a few additions to a home-cooked spread. That distinction shapes the list: Blue Apron and Green Chef are presented with options for ordering selected dishes, while Williams Sonoma offers a customizable dinner and Harry & David a bundled feast.
The source gives date-specific windows for the season it covers: for example, Marley Spoon boxes were listed as available from November 9, Green Chef sides from November 8, and Blue Apron holiday meals during the week of November 23. HelloFresh and Home Chef also had specified holiday weeks. These dates are seasonal details from the original report, not confirmation of current availability. The report says prices were accurate when it was published, but does not provide a complete price comparison.
“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.”
— Micki Wagner, The Kitchn shopping writer
Availability Depends on the Season
The source material does not establish whether the listed meals, prices or ordering dates remain current, and providers can change menus and delivery areas. It also gives little detail about Purple Carrot and does not spell out specific Thanksgiving offers for every company in the headline list. Customers should check each provider directly for current menus, eligibility, delivery coverage, serving counts and final prices before placing an order.
The article does not provide a side-by-side review of taste, value or delivery reliability, nor does it explain how every dish must be stored or reheated. Those details should be confirmed from the product instructions, especially for perishable foods.
Readers considering a catered holiday meal should compare providers’ current offerings and confirm the order deadline and delivery date for their location. They should also check whether a meal arrives ready to heat, requires cooking, or includes only selected components, then plan serving sizes and any dishes they will prepare separately.
The source provides no follow-up announcement or later update to the roundup. Availability and pricing will depend on each provider’s seasonal schedule, so the next useful step is to verify details directly with the company before purchasing.
