Instacart can help lessen the burden of Thanksgiving dinner in a number of ways. First, if you're cooking all or part of the meal yourself, you can place a grocery order for delivery and skip shopping in person yourself — often one of the biggest headaches of Thanksgiving prep. There's even a feature where you can automatically add the ingredients for certain NYT Cooking recipes right to your cat.

Second, you can buy prepared foods straight from your local supermarkets. The variety will depend on your local market, but you can reliably find fresh roasted chickens, prepared sides, and a plethora of desserts. Orders can be placed same-day, so it's a great option if you've realized last minute that you forgot a staple like cranberry sauce or gravy.

If you prefer ham to turkey, look no further than the aptly named Honey Baked Ham Co. It has several types of turkey on the menu, but ham is where it shines. Choose from different-sized meals to accommodate small or large families; each one includes a variety of savory sides like maple sweet potato soufflé, green bean casserole, and double cheddar mac cheese, or even desserts like cinnamon apples and Southern pecan pie.

If you're planning on preparing most of the feast yourself, the last thing you probably want to think about is snacks and apps to keep the hungry crowd at bay while dinner cooks. Boarderie offers an easy solution: expertly crafted and pre-arranged charcuterie boards delivered overnight to your door. All you have to do is unwrap the platters and serve. It's no wonder the brand has been named one of Oprah's favorite things several years in a row.

For Thanksgiving, Boarderie offers fall-festive platters it says is capable of serving up to 12. Though, after trying it ourselves, we think it could stretch much, much further, especially with a major feast on the horizon.

Thanksgiving wines

Several of our favorite places to order wine online are offering Thanksgiving wines, from Firstleaf holiday bundles to guided pairings courtesy of Wine.com.

Three bottles of wine from the Firstleaf Thanksgiving Wine Bundle.
