Thanksgiving Meal to Cost 10 Percent More This Year: Study
Preparing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this weekend may require Canadians to dig deeper into their wallets than last year, a new study suggests. A traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner for four is estimated to cost 10 percent more this year than in 2025, according to a report from food professor Sylvain Charlebois and the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.
The cost of a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner for four is estimated to increase by 10 percent this year compared to 2025. Last year saw a minimal increase, but this year’s estimate points to a more significant rise in expenses for households. Food professor Sylvain Charlebois highlighted that while an extra $3.24 may seem small, it impacts families monitoring their grocery budgets.
