This year’s Holiday Meal Basket is bigger, better, and more affordable

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Some of Americans’ most memorable holiday moments happen around the table, and this year, Walmart is making it easier and more affordable than ever for families to serve a plentiful and delicious holiday meal. Walmart's highly anticipated Holiday Meal Basket is returning with even more food than last year, available to customers through December 24, 2026 - with the convenience of fast delivery to help families spend less time planning and more time celebrating.

Walmart’s 2026 Holiday Meal Basket serves 10 people for $35, just $3.50 per person.

Walmart’s 2026 Holiday Trend Report showed that 6 in 10 customers say holiday costs shape their shopping mood and 70% say lower prices would make holiday shopping easier.² Walmart’s Holiday Meal Basket helps provide a solution. For $35, customers can serve a complete holiday meal for 10 people — a price of $3.50 per person. The basket includes a mix of 26 trusted national and Walmart brand favorites to prepare beloved dishes, from turkey and stuffing to green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie. Not only does this year’s basket have 18% more items, but it also costs 12% less than those same items did last year, making this the lowest priced one-click basket in the program’s history.

"The Holiday Meal Basket has become one of our favorite traditions at Walmart. It brings our purpose to life in such a meaningful way by helping families make the holidays special without stretching their budgets," said David Guggina, president and CEO, Walmart U.S. "This year, our Holiday Meal Basket brings even more food to the table for just $35, while making it easier for customers to plan, shop, and celebrate in ways that work for them.”

More Food, More Savings, More to Celebrate
Walmart’s Holiday Meal Basket has helped millions of customers enjoy holiday favorites at an affordable price, saving customers more than $350 million since 2022.

This year's basket goes even further, offering the best value in the program's history with 17 unique products and 26 total items. The expanded basket items reflect changing customer preferences and more side dishes with the addition of sweet potatoes, mini marshmallows, corn muffin mix and more.

The basket includes the items customers need to prepare many of the season's most-loved dishes:

• The centerpiece: Butterball turkey, priced at just 97 cents per pound - the same price as last year.
