Take the Stress Out of Thanksgiving With These Vegan Meal Delivery Services

A love of food not does necessitate a love for cooking. If the idea of Thanksgiving dinner fills you with equal parts excitement and dread, Thanksgiving delivery may help assuage some of that anxiety around the act of making the meal.

If you have the means to outsource and you know it will relieve some stress, check out the five companies below that will deliver everything you need for a satisfying Thanksgiving feast—vegan pies, sides, and all.

Vegan meal delivery

Pop-ups used to be one of the main ways vegan food entrepreneurs got their start, but in the height of food delivery, delivery and direct-to-consumer businesses began to take over. From ‘DM to order’ to national, full-scale delivery options, purchasing food online is now de rigueur. 

We’ve seen city-specific pop-ups transform into pickup and delivery options, such as the now iconic Cena Vegan in Los Angeles, and regional chains have taken to Goldbelly to ship full meals across the country, like New York City’s Taim.  

In addition to shipping specialty items such as Chicago deep-dish pizzas (if you didn’t know about that already, you’re welcome), everyday eats are also available. For those without the time or desire to cook, there are over a dozen vegan-friendly meal kit subscriptions that ship nationwide. Whether you’re looking for just groceries or something you can conveniently heat and heat, brands like Simple Feast, Veestro, and Daily Harvest are here to help. 

Vegan Thanksgiving food, delivered

Given the vast diversity of food being shipped on a daily basis, why shouldn’t one be able to order a full Thanksgiving feast with a credit card and a few taps on your phone? Here are the five vegan options that will deliver Thanksgiving dinner right to your door. Let the festivities begin.

The Herbivorous Butcher

1 The Herbivorous Butcher

This Minneapolis-based vegan butchery and deli are first on the list for a reason—they sell out fast! Festive options include the one-pound A la Carte Unstuffed Turkey Roast, which can serve three to four people, and the two-pound version, which can serve eight to 10 people. Order now, and get ready to feast.

Shortbread Society

4 Goldbelly

Think of Goldbelly as the virtual smorgasbord of deliciously endless possibilities. The digital platform offers eats from local concepts across the US, meaning you can pick and choose exactly what you want. Grab a cinnamon crumble-topped apple pie from dedicated vegan and gluten-free bakery Erin Mckenna’s, a pumpkin pie shortbread tray from the Shortbread Society in New Jersey, and giant vegan biscuits from Seattle’s Honest Biscuits, because why not?

The Goddess and Grocer

5 The Goddess and Grocer

While this Chicago-based business focuses on cakes, it makes a stunner of a vegan Thanksgiving feast. The Vegan Holiday Acorn Squash dinner for two sidesteps the somewhat traditional vegan loaf or roast and focuses on the bounty of seasonal produce. Expect a hearty roasted acorn squash filled with quinoa, nuts, and veggies; rosemary and caramelized shallot Brussels sprouts; green beans (not in casserole form); mashed potatoes; stuffing and gravy, and a delightful apple crisp. Note: the individual items come vacuum sealed, which looks a bit odd, but once heated and plated, the foods look just as appetizing as if you made them yourself.

Hungry Root

6 Hungry Root

Popular personalized grocery delivery service Hungry Root is filled to the brim with delicious Thanksgiving options. The brand takes all of the thinking out of Thanksgiving, by shipping you all of the ingredients and the recipe, totally fuss-free. Choose from options like this Plant-Based Roast and Sweet Potato Mash, for example, or this Broccoli Mac ‘n Cheeze Rotini, which makes a great side. If you’re keeping things simple, Seared Vegan Sausages + Roasted Harvest Veggies is another delicious choice.
