Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year (especially if you’re a food person), but it can also be one of the most stressful. Travel is expensive, families can be hard to deal with, and cramming a dozen people into a table that only seats half as many is a real challenge. Not to mention, cooking so many dishes, for so many people, sometimes seems like an impossible feat.
The good news is, several companies make Thanksgiving a whole lot less stressful by offering fully or partially cooked meals for delivery and/or pickup. The options below range from budget-friendly to very high-end, and there are options for traditionalists (that is, turkey eaters) and people who would rather eat ham than poultry. Scroll through and see if anything strikes your fancy, then place an order immediately. This way, you won’t have to worry about Thanksgiving dinner until it’s time to actually set the table and heat things up.
