Fort Worth families looking to simplify their Thanksgiving celebrations can now turn to Central Market’s new 2026 Holiday Feast menu. The grocery chain’s chef‑prepared, oven‑ready meals are designed to let hosts focus on family and faith traditions rather than spending hours in the kitchen.
Full‑Size Feasts for Large Gatherings
The flagship Holiday Feast serves 12 to 14 guests and includes an all‑natural, hickory‑smoked, spiral‑sliced ham with apricot‑ginger glaze alongside a perfectly roasted turkey. Traditional sides round out the spread: savory cornbread dressing, whipped Yukon potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans with toasted almonds, cranberry sauce and seasonal salads. For smaller tables, a Traditional Turkey Meal feeds six to eight, while additional options such as turkey breast, hickory‑smoked ham and herb‑crusted beef tenderloin are also available. All items arrive in oven‑ready trays, requiring only heating and serving.
New Flavors and Vegetarian Options
Central Market adds fresh variety to its lineup this year. A standout dish is the Lasagna Rotolo with butternut squash and Manchego, a hearty vegetarian entrée. It is paired with roasted carrots and parsnips tossed in preserved lemon chimichurri and a wintertide salad. The à la carte menu lets shoppers customize their holiday table, offering classic favorites like cornbread dressing and whipped sweet potatoes alongside newer choices such as jalapeño‑pecan dressing, butternut squash‑apple dressing, roasted Brussels sprouts and an apple‑walnut‑aged cheddar salad.
Appetizers and Desserts
To start the meal, Central Market offers a Brie en Croûte wrapped in flaky puff pastry in several flavor variations, as well as curated graze boards, turkey‑butternut cranberry meatballs and chef‑made dips. The bakery section features traditional pies—pumpkin, apple and bourbon pecan—plus a new maple‑mixed‑nuts chocolate pie for chocolate lovers. Fresh‑baked pumpkin bread, golden cornbread and soft brioche pull‑apart rolls complete the dessert offering.
For Home Cooks Who Prefer to Prepare Their Own Bird
For those who still enjoy roasting a turkey, Central Market’s Meat Market supplies a range of fresh, brined and smoked birds, including Mary’s All‑Natural, Diestel Organic and Greenberg Hickory‑Smoked varieties. Fire‑glazed hams are also available for an alternative centerpiece.
