It’s that time of year again. We’re all feeling dysregulated because of 5 p.m. sunsets, making our upcoming Thanksgiving plans, and dreading the hours one has to spend in the kitchen after signing up for hosting duties. But it doesn’t have to be that way, at least when it comes to dinnertime stress, catering to everyone’s specific dietary needs, and finding yet another creative way to zhuzh up cranberry sauce.
At a Glance: The Best Places to Buy Thanksgiving Dinner Online
It’s 2025, after all, meaning low-effort efficiency is the modus operandi of the day, and it extends to holiday meal prep. Enter: ordering Thanksgiving dinner online, once considered a comedic impossibility and now treated like the status quo by many families, singles, or couples who, quite simply, don’t want to cook on the last Thursday of November. If you relate to this sentiment, we’re not judging one bit. In fact, we’re right there with you in terms of scoping out the best meal delivery services that swap cooking-induced back pains and burnt fingers for the kind of luxury that comes with having a whole feast delivered to your door… and proceeding to devour it without missing a beat.
Wide variety exists within the Thanksgiving meal delivery category, catering to all needs, lifestyles, food restrictions, and beyond. Some pre-prepped kits are just meant to save you the hectic grocery run, for example, while others give you the whole turkey shebang (just heat and eat!). Then there are the plant-forward options, those tailored to carnivores with a capital “C,” and kits best suited for large gatherings that have a mix of people on both sides of the metaphorical aisle.
Ready to start curating your dream Thanksgiving meal this year, no Carmy Berzatto–level kitchen breakdowns required? You’ve come to the right place.

best overall
Hello Fresh
Due in no small part to its stress-free simplicity and delicious nods to tradition, Hello Fresh gives you everything you need for a food-fueled Thanksgiving to remember. You can choose between ordering the full Turkey Day feast or à la carte sides only, based on the number of people you plan to host or your appetite (again, we listen and we don’t judge). For reference, the feast clocks in at $180 and serves eight to 10 people — coming equipped with a succulent roast turkey along with sides like cranberry-infused brioche stuffing and creamy mashed potatoes. Only current HelloFresh members (that have been members for at least a week) have access to its Thanksgiving Box, and you can start ordering it on November 16, 2025.

Goldbelly
Make no mistake: Goldbelly isn’t in the business of shipping you a box full of ingredients and recipes weekly. Instead, it’s an ultra-popular online vendor of gourmet dishes sourced from the country’s finest chefs, restaurants, and brands. Amidst Goldbelly’s recently unrolled Thanksgiving collection, you’ll find gems like straight-from-New Orleans turducken, that baffling and awe-inspiring hybrid, as well as Oprah’s favorite chicken pie; mushroom lasagna from one of New York’s most famous culinary institutions, Gramercy Tavern; and, an editor favorite, the mighty PieCaken, with its layers of pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and spice cake blessed with apple pie filling on top. If you’re a transplant from a major U.S. city and feel pangs of nostalgia for restaurants you used to frequent there, Goldbelly’s for you.
BEST for ingredient households
Thrive Market
Thrive Market is a leader in natural and organic food delivery, and though the online service doesn’t offer preset Thanksgiving packages, becoming a member grants you access to over 5,000 sustainable products that, in tandem, can constitute the dreamiest of meals. The brand even has its very own “Thanksgiving Essentials” category — chock-full of everything from frozen apps and chuck roast to alcohol mixers and, a true holiday classic, chicken broth.
best for hungry groups
Gobble
Another great source for ordering a full-fledged, stress-free Thanksgiving feast is Gobble. This year, the company is offering two Thanksgiving meal options — The Classic Thanksgiving and The Deluxe Thanksgiving. Both serve four to six people and include one seasoned turkey roast, two classic accompaniments (think chive-loaded potatoes and good ol’ gravy), as well as four extra sides. Your meal guarantees treats like sausage-and-apple stuffing and cranberry compote either way; The Deluxe comes out on top, however, through its addition of eight to 12 biscuits of the black pepper and Gruyère variety, plus a dessert to end things on a high note. Choose wisely… and note that you need to purchase either box by November 19 in order to get it delivered on November 23-26.
best meats
Omaha Steaks
If you’re looking for more customizability, check out Omaha Steaks’ build-your-own Thanksgiving meal service. You can design a full Thanksgiving feast of the senses starting at $139.99, with prices varying based on the type and cut of meat. For something even more special, go for the brand’s Chateaubriand Feast or Gourmet Lamb Feast (the in-laws are gonna love you, finally). There are also opportunities to buy a box complete with wine pairings or to go rogue and order everything separately: from the meats to the sides to the desserts and, last but not least, the liquid courage needed to brave your family’s political debates at the table.
BEST PLANT-BASED
Purple Carrot
We’re long past the era of trying to squeeze a sad-looking Tofurkey into an otherwise tantalizingly good-looking Thanksgiving spread. The good news is that now we have Purple Carrot, the G.O.A.T. of plant-based meal boxes, whose chef-curated Plantsgiving Box this year, delivered on November 24, boasts mouth-watering concoctions the likes of cashew cheese-stuffed sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts with oyster mushrooms, and more. There’s no bird, but with a lineup this good it’s not needed.
best variety
Harry & David
It’s no secret that Harry & David is a godsend in the gift baskets department, but it’s also one of the best Thanksgiving meal delivery services — and for good reason. Whether you only want to invest in a lavish pot pie assortment, have your sights set on the fit-for-royalty Create Your Own Ham Feast (just as scrumptious as it sounds), or wish to stun guests with a turkey centerpiece crafted out of Belgian milk chocolate, Harry & David has it all: with the added perk of express two-day shipping, no less.
