The holiday season may be ripe for large gatherings, family traditions, and decadent meals cooked at home, but with Thanksgiving also comes a plethora of fast food specials that rival grandma’s turkey. Plenty of chains offer limited-time items inspired by the season, from Popeyes’ beloved Cajun-style Turkey to Firehouse Sub’s festive sandwiches.
Now, KFC is getting in on the Turkey Day action with a brand-new meal deal that features a brand-new menu item. And it may have some fans skipping the big turkey altogether and heading straight to the drive-thru this Thanksgiving.

Move over, turkey. KFC is dressing up its famous fried chicken for the holidays. Just in time for Thanksgiving, the fast food chain is dropping its newest menu offering, plus a brand new item to boot: KFC’s Extra Crispy Festive Feast.
Forget overcooking your bird this Thanksgiving and swap your poultry for KFC’s new Extra Crispy Festive Feast. Priced at $25, the meal includes an eight-piece bucket of KFC’s signature fried chicken, two large sides of mashed potatoes, biscuits, and three eight-ounce sides of gravy. With enough food to feed four, KFC’s new deal is the perfect solution for small holiday parties, last-minute Friendsgiving shindigs, or an easy weeknight family dinner.
Plus, the feast comes with a brand-new KFC offering: the Gravy Flight. The sampler trio brings a taste of two staple KFC gravies—Signature Brown and the fan-favorite White Peppercorn—plus, the brand-new Southwest Cheddar Gravy. Not only is a new KFC menu item something to be grateful for, the Gravy Flight makes the perfect addition to the Extra Crispy Festive Feast.
