We will be adding more information to this list as we receive it! This list will grow a lot. Last year it included Wegman’s, Harris Teeter, Weaver Street Market, and many, many more. We expect it will include all these in 2023 as well! Keep checking back!
We’ve put together a huge list of holiday events in the Triangle, including parades, festivals, markets, Santa visits, and more. Check out our growing day by day list of holiday events in the Triangle!
These meals definitely save time, and for most of them the price per person isn’t too bad. Some arrive hot and some need to be heated up. Make sure to follow the links for full information. Our listings below include just a taste of all the options.
When these deals are announced, you’ll want to order quickly, as these deals are subject to selling out. Make sure to follow each link to see the details, including the deadline for ordering for Thanksgiving.
You’ll typically get a turkey (or ham), gravy, stuffing, and several sides. You might want to supplement the meal with extra sides.
If you’d rather dine out for Thanksgiving, this list of restaurants in the Triangle serving Thanksgiving dinner will be updated soon. Don’t delay in making reservations. Many of these restaurants will also offer takeout or delivery, so you’ll have another way of enjoying somebody else’s cooking at home.
