There are countless reasons why you might not be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving spread. But just because you don’t have the capacity this year doesn’t mean you should skip out on hosting a special dinner. Costco rolled out a kit just in time for the holidays, and shoppers are leaning on it to limit any stress this season.

For around $40, you can pick up a pre-cooked meal from Costco that includes roasted turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce. With this dinner solution, the only items on your to-do list will involve setting the table and warming up the food on Thanksgiving.

Costco is rolling out a bunch of meal solutions this year just in time for the holiday season. The warehouse store recently stocked its shelves with loaded mashed potatoes and mac and cheese if you plan to roast a whole turkey but don’t want to worry about the sides. For dessert, you can head over there and pick up an internet-famous tiramisu cake.

People are expressing their gratitude for this pre-made dinner kit from Costco. One shopper commented on this TikTok detailing the release, saying, “Yes, thanks for the post. I was curious about their prices. I had surgery, and there’s no way I’m cooking this year. It’s going to be a Costco Thanksgiving this year.” While another user called out, “As someone who is working on Thanksgiving, this would be perfect.”

The Thanksgiving meal kit from Costco feeds eight people, but if you have a smaller family or are eating solo, you can get it anyway and bask in the loads of delicious leftovers afterward (and have fun remixing them into new creations!).
