Reclaim Your Thanksgiving: Less Time Cooking, More Time Connecting

The Modern Thanksgiving Reality

For many families today, the holiday season feels less like a time of gratitude and more like a full-scale production. Between menu planning, grocery shopping, prepping, cooking, serving, and cleaning, Thanksgiving can quickly turn into a 10-hour marathon.

According to a 2024 YouGov survey, nearly 68% of Americans spend more than seven hours cooking and cleaning on Thanksgiving Day, and 42% admit they’re too tired to truly enjoy it once dinner is served. Add to that the fact that both partners now work in over 63% of U.S. households with children (per the Bureau of Labor Statistics), and it’s clear: finding time to cook a traditional feast is harder than ever.

The Rising Cost of “Homemade”

What used to be a heartfelt tradition has also become a costly one. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, marking a 25% increase since 2019. Between inflation, rising grocery prices, and limited time to cook from scratch, it’s easy to see why more families are looking for stress-free alternatives.

Hosting a homemade feast may sound nostalgic, but it can also mean:

• Hours of labor in the kitchen instead of relaxing with loved ones

• Dozens of dishes waiting to be cleaned

• Hundreds of dollars spent on ingredients you’ll only use once a year
