With family coming to town, football games to watch, and kids to wrangle, cooking Thanksgiving dinner can feel impossible. In reality, it’s a solid eight to 10 hours of shopping, prepping, and cooking, which basically eats up your entire holiday, leaving you very little time to socialize and relax. This year, don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Order a complete Thanksgiving dinner from one of the stores and brands below. They won’t disappoint!
