Walmart has officially launched its holiday meal to bring customers “incredible savings on mealtime favorites” earlier and at an even lower price than last year, according to a news release.

The Bentonville, Ark.-based grocer is offering savings — based on the price of certain items during the same time period last year — on a number of holiday meal ingredients, including produce such as 3-pound bags of fresh yellow onions, one fresh celery stalk, 5-pound bags of fresh whole russet potatoes, Great Value Canned Green Beans, whole sweetpotatoes and 15-ounce packages of Great Value Golden Sweet Whole Kernel Corn.

As food prices remain top of mind, more customers want to begin saving earlier and throughout the holiday season. Now through Dec. 24, Walmart is bringing back its inflation-free Thanksgiving meal at a lower price than last year to help customers save without compromising quality, the release said.

Customers can shop the meal now in stores and with one click on Walmart.com/thanksgiving. With a traditional holiday meal at the grocer’s consistently low prices, Walmart says customers can trust that no matter what the meal occasion this holiday season — from Thanksgiving to Christmas or even Sunday dinner — it’s more affordable.

Walmart is also offering customers the opportunity to gift a meal directly to loved ones anywhere in the country and, new this year, donate an entire meal to their local Salvation Army unit.

“Some of the holiday’s most special moments take place around the dinner table. At Walmart, we are committed to offering customers even deeper savings on top of our Every Day Low Prices for all their mealtime needs,” said John Laney, executive vice president of food for Walmart U.S. “And with more opportunities to gift a meal and give back to those in need, we’re helping customers spread holiday cheer to their loved ones and their local communities.”
