KFC is pushing its new Cluck Turkey campaign while rolling out a $25 Extra Crispy Festive Feast built for anyone who wants a Thanksgiving meal without touching a turkey. The deal arrives as more Americans turn to takeout for the holiday, with KFC positioning itself as the stress-free option.
The Festive Feast is priced at $25 and includes eight pieces of extra crispy chicken, biscuits, two large mashed potatoes, and three eight-ounce gravies.
The brand is also debuting its first gravy flight featuring Signature Brown, White Peppercorn, and the new Southwest Cheddar. KFC says the box feeds up to four people and is meant for Friendsgiving, last-minute gatherings, or anyone who simply prefers fried chicken over turkey.
This launch follows internal survey numbers that show 35 percent of consumers dislike turkey and 37 percent now order takeout or delivery for Thanksgiving. KFC is leaning into that shift and using the holiday to push a comfort-focused menu that skips the traditional bird.
KFC doubles down on its Cluck Turkey campaign
The chain’s new campaign openly calls out turkey as bland and stressful, using loud billboard messaging to tell people to ditch the usual holiday meal. KFC says it wants fans to replace the turkey with something that actually delivers on flavor.
For turkey loyalists, select locations in California, Colorado, Utah, and Washington State are offering pre-orders for Cajun-style deep-fried turkeys. Participation and pricing vary.
KFC is also promoting its Personal Pot Pie for 4.99 starting November 17. The brand is framing it as a solo comfort option for anyone who needs a quiet break during peak holiday chaos.
The chain is also pushing holiday merchandise through KFCShop.com, including matching pajamas and fried chicken wrapping paper.
This comes just days after KFC Japan partnered with Monster Hunter Wilds to release a limited edition meal bundle and exclusive charm rewards.
