We're here to help. Holiday Meals

Currently, delivery for holiday items is only available to Prime members in select ZIP codes. Visit amazon.com/wholefoods or the Amazon app and look for the Whole Foods tab to fill your cart and choose your delivery or pickup window. We have a wide variety of holiday offerings like turkeys, sides and desserts, plus an assortment of everyday groceries.

Meals, turkeys, sides, appetizers, platters and desserts reserved online at shop.wfm.com and through our Holiday Table can only be picked up in the store. Visit shop.wfm.com to review our menu and place your order. Please note that stores which normally deliver catering do not deliver holiday meals.

To ensure the safety of our customers, we are offering multiple pickup stations in stores for orders placed on shop.wfm.com . Some stores offer curbside pickup on prepaid orders. Detailed information on your store's pickup process will be included in your order reminder email 72 hours prior to your scheduled pickup.

For pickup orders placed on Whole Foods Market on Amazon.com, some locations offer curbside options. See amazon.com/wholefoods for details.

In order to distribute traffic more evenly, we have limited the number of pickup windows in each time slot.

All items in your holiday meal are refrigerated, so they will be cold when you pick them up. Be sure to allow time for reheating each dish before your meal. Many of our dishes can be reheated right in the packaging while others require a separate pot or pan.

Reheating instructions are included in the confirmation email you received with your order. Or you can get them by visiting shop.wfm.com and selecting your local store. You can also give us a call at , and we will be happy to assist you.

Follow the reheating instructions for best results. Heat foods thoroughly to 165°F, until hot and steaming. Bring gravy to a rolling boil. If heating in a microwave oven, cover food and rotate the dish so it heats evenly.

If it’s within 24 hours of Thanksgiving, call your local store immediately because many of our stores close early on Thanksgiving Day.

Don’t be alarmed if the surface of your fresh turkey seems icy. Fresh turkeys are kept just below freezing to maintain a crust of ice on the surface, which easily melts when stored in your refrigerator.

If thawing your bird in the fridge, plan for 1 day of thawing for every 4 pounds of turkey, so a 12- to 16-pound bird will take 3–4 days to thaw. Once the turkey is thawed, it’s safe to keep in the fridge for another 1–2 days. Err on the side of starting early to ensure a ready-to-cook bird on the day of your celebration.

Short on time? You can thaw your turkey by submerging it in cold water. Plan for 30 minutes per pound. Make sure the turkey is in a leak-proof, sealed plastic bag (you don’t want a waterlogged bird) then submerge the wrapped bird in cold tap water. Change the water every 30 minutes. The turkey should be cooked immediately after it’s thawed. With this method, a 12- to 16-pound bird should be ready to cook in 6–8 hours.

Vegan items are labeled on our holiday menu. If you wish to review the list of ingredients in a specific dish, give us a call at , and we will be happy to assist you. Keep in mind that all of our holiday dishes are prepared in kitchens that process ingredients which may contain allergens such as milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts and gluten, as well as other allergens. We are not able to accommodate guests with food allergies or modify dishes to meet special dietary needs, so check out our frozen section and grocery aisles instead for packaged products that meet your needs.

Some menu items are made from ingredients that do not typically contain gluten, like vegetables.

To maintain deep chill (35°F) store turkeys in the coldest spot in fridge, turned down as low as possible, or store in a secondary fridge or freezer.

Keep hot foods between 140°F and 165°F until serving time. Cold food should be held at 40°F or colder.

Make sure there are plenty of serving utensils to help your guests serve themselves without mixing foods from different dishes.

The absolute maximum time for leaving prepared foods at room temperature is 2 hours—including time for preparation, serving and eating. Discard any perishable foods left at room temperature longer than 2 hours.

Turkey leftovers generally should be good for 3–4 days in the fridge or for 3–6 months in the freezer.
