Walmart is joining the Thanksgiving food wars with a massive $35 holiday meal that feeds 10 people, and some shoppers can get it for just $25.
With Thanksgiving approaching, major retailers are competing to offer the cheapest holiday dinners, and Walmart is making a strong case with its latest deal.
The retail giant has brought back its annual Holiday Meal Basket, offering an entire Thanksgiving spread for just $35, working out to $3.50 per person.
According to Walmart’s official announcement, the 2026 bundle includes 26 items, an 18% increase over last year’s offering. The company also claims the same assortment of groceries would have cost 12% more in 2025.
What’s included in Walmart’s $35 Thanksgiving dinner?
The centerpiece is a Butterball turkey weighing between 10 and 16 pounds, accompanied by enough ingredients to prepare a variety of traditional Thanksgiving sides.
These include Stove Top stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, corn, dinner rolls, and cranberry sauce.
Walmart has also added ingredients for sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, while dessert comes in the form of pumpkin pie with whipped topping.
WalmartAs Good Housekeeping reports, the $35 bundle is cheaper than the estimated $55.18 average cost of preparing Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people in 2025.
However, shoppers might be able to save even more.
Eligible customers can use the promo code TRIPLE10 to save $10 on qualifying pickup or delivery orders, potentially bringing the entire meal down to just $25.
Some existing customers can also qualify for the discount using the code DOUBLE10.
The deal arrives as Walmart faces competition from other major retailers offering their own Thanksgiving feasts.
As we previously reported, Costco is selling a massive 30-pound Thanksgiving dinner for $200, with enough food to feed eight people.
Meanwhile, Amazon has unveiled its own $25 Thanksgiving meal, complete with turkey, sides, dessert, and free same-day delivery on qualifying orders.
Unlike Costco’s prepared sides, Walmart’s basket consists of groceries that customers will need to cook themselves.
Walmart’s Thanksgiving bundle is available in stores and online through December 24, meaning customers can also use the deal for Christmas.
Whatever deal you end up choosing, there’s plenty to be thankful for this year, primarily GTA 6 finally releasing.
