Walmart says its latest annual Thanksgiving meal is its best offer yet.
The company says the basket offers traditional favorites across more than 20 national and private brand items, including a Butterball turkey for $.97 per pound — its lowest price since 2019, as a one-click basket serving 10 people for less than $40, under $4 per person, the lowest price since Walmart started the program. It’s also offering free express delivery on the meal basket for first-time pickup and delivery customers.
“We know every dollar and minute counts — which is why we are offering a low-priced, one-click Thanksgiving meal basket featuring iconic brands like Butterball and Stove Top alongside trusted Walmart private-brand items,” says John Furner, president and CEO for Walmart U.S. “We want every family to be able to share a meal and celebrate without compromising on quality, quantity or tradition.”
First launched in 2022, Walmart’s Thanksgiving meal quickly became a holiday staple, saving families money while delivering the favorites they love, the grocer says. Since then, millions of customers have taken advantage of the basket and enjoyed savings.
Walmart says customers return each year for three reasons: value, abundance and convenience.
In addition to a 13.5-pound Butterball turkey, this year’s meal includes ingredients for side dishes and desserts, plus dinner rolls, in addition to 5-pound russet potatoes, 12-ounces of fresh cranberries and 2-pounds of Great Value baby carrots.
Shared meals are enjoyed beyond just Thanksgiving and customers want meals that meet their preferences and needs. As such, Walmart says it is expanding the holiday cheer with brand-new one-click meal baskets inspired by customer feedback:
- Gluten-free Thanksgiving meal — A complete meal with all the favorite main dishes, sides and desserts — all gluten free.
- Balanced Thanksgiving swaps — A mindful twist on tradition, featuring high-protein swaps like Goodles Mac & Cheese and cauliflower mashed potatoes and ingredients to make a high-protein pumpkin dessert.
- Prime rib meal basket — Includes Choice Angus beef, salad, potatoes and wine.
And, now until Dec. 25, Walmart says its holiday meals can be shopped with a single click online or in stores nationwide. Customers can pick up their meal basket in stores or have it delivered straight to their door in as fast as one hour.
The company says it is once again teaming up with The Salvation Army to support families in need. When shopping the Thanksgiving meal online, customers can add a donation at checkout to help provide a warm meal for others in their community.
