The Kitchn published a roundup of 11 services and retailers offering Thanksgiving meals, meal kits, sides or desserts. The list ranges from full dinners to individual dishes, but the supplied report does not provide a consistent comparison of current prices, availability or delivery coverage.
The Kitchn has published a list of 11 companies offering Thanksgiving meal kits, prepared dinners and individual holiday dishes, giving readers options to supplement home cooking or order a larger portion of the meal. The guide includes services such as Blue Apron, HelloFresh and Home Chef, alongside retailers and delivery companies including Williams Sonoma and Harry & David.
The roundup, written by shopping writer Micki Wagner, covers several different ways to order. Blue Apron’s seasonal menu is described as offering individual sides, desserts, turkey choices and bundles, while HelloFresh has full-meal options as well as a la carte dishes through its Market. Home Chef is listed with six holiday meal kits that can serve up to six people.
Other entries span a wider range of meal formats. Williams Sonoma’s Build-Your-Own Thanksgiving Dinner lets customers select from turkey options, sides and dessert. Harry & David’s Gourmet Turkey Feast is described as a package for up to 10 people, including a 10-pound oven-roasted turkey, sides, gravy, cranberry chutney and pumpkin cheesecake. The article says the turkey needs to be heated through.
The remaining names are Goldbelly, Purple Carrot, Omaha Steaks, CookUnity, Marley Spoon and Green Chef. The source gives different levels of detail for each: it describes Goldbelly as a place to find festive starters and sides, Omaha Steaks as offering bundles and individual mains and sides, and CookUnity as having a turkey dinner for subscribers. Marley Spoon is described as offering boxes for four to 12 people, including an option with sides but no turkey. The supplied text begins a description of Green Chef’s sides bundle but cuts off before listing all four sets.
Options From Sides to Full Feasts
The guide highlights that holiday catering does not have to mean buying one complete dinner. Readers can use a service for a single side or dessert, choose a meal kit that requires preparation, or order a more complete package with a turkey and accompaniments. That flexibility may help households divide the work or match orders to the number of guests.
But the list is not a standardized ranking or a full shopping comparison. The offers vary in preparation, serving size and whether they include a main dish. Readers need to check the provider’s current menu and terms before ordering, especially if they are comparing total cost, portions, delivery dates or dietary needs.

The article frames the services as ways to reduce grocery shopping and cooking for Thanksgiving. Its examples include meal kits that require cooking, prepared foods that need reheating, and individual dishes intended to complement a meal made at home. These distinctions matter: a box of sides is not equivalent to a ready-to-serve turkey dinner.
The source gives seasonal ordering windows for some listings, including HelloFresh offerings during the weeks of November 15 and 22, Marley Spoon boxes available as early as November 9, and Green Chef sides available to order as early as November 8. Blue Apron’s holiday menu is associated with the week of November 23. The article does not state the year for these dates, so they should not be treated as current ordering deadlines without checking directly with the companies.
“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
Current Prices and Dates Need Checking
The supplied report does not establish whether every listed menu is currently available, and several dates are tied to November weeks without a year. It also does not provide a complete price comparison, delivery-area list, shipping charges or consistent serving information across all 11 providers. The source text ends partway through Green Chef’s description, leaving details of its full offer unavailable here.
The roundup’s title calls these the “best” options, but the material provided does not give a scoring method or explain how the companies were ranked. Readers should treat it as a shopping guide, not a verified head-to-head test of taste, value or service.
Anyone considering one of the listed providers should confirm the current holiday menu, ordering cutoff and delivery or pickup schedule on the company’s website. Customers should also check serving counts, preparation instructions, ingredients and any extra fees before paying. Those details will determine whether an offer suits a full family dinner or only a few additions to the table.
