Sam's Club announced the launch of the 2025 Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Feast, a chef-inspired, member-designed meal that's under $100 and ready in less than two hours. Insights from over 50,000 Member’s Mark Community members were considered, and every dish was crafted in accordance with the Mark Made Without Commitment, which excludes artificial flavors and synthetic colors.
“This year’s Thanksgiving feast was designed by and for our members,” said Dr. Suzanne Jervis, senior director of consumer and sensory insights at Sam’s Club, “We looked at thousands of data points and member comments, and the message was clear: our members wanted more variety, more freshness and the same incredible value."
The 2025 Member’s Mark Thanksgiving Feast includes favorite Member’s Mark products like smoked turkey and mashed potatoes, and all-new additions like Member’s Mark Green Beans with Cranberries and Sliced Almonds.
