Stressed about Thanksgiving? Butterball's free calendar may help
Get ready pilgrims.
Thanksgiving, the biggest food holiday of the year, is a month away. New data from Butterball found that 90% of Americans plan on celebrating Thanksgiving this year.
But along with planning and prepping the big meal, stress often comes along like an extra side dish.

Relax. The folks at Butterball are feeling your angst and want to help ease that stress and provide encouragement on a daily basis.
To help, Butterball released its first-ever Butterball Turkey Talk-Line Comfort Calendar. This limited-edition calendar is free and gives those preparing for Thanksgiving 24 days of “emotional support, practical tips, and a whole lot of comfort,” according to Butterball.

But you need to act fast. The Comfort Calendars are available only now through Wednesday at ButterballComfortGiveaway.com on a first-come, first-served basis. On Monday, the calendars went quickly but will be replenished starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.
While each day on the Comfort Calendar features suggestions and turkey prep tips such as how and when to thaw, there are also thoughts for creating “me time,” to ease the stress.
“The holiday season can be one of the most exciting times of the year, but unfortunately, it can also be one of the most stressful,” said Nicole Johnson, director and 22-year veteran of the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line, said in a news release. “We’ve harnessed more than 40 years of Turkey Talk-Line expertise – the most common questions and sources of confusion as well as the angst that frequently accompanies them – to create this daily resource for often-overlooked holiday hosts. Particularly as they grapple with inflation and other concerns, it’s an honor to offer our time-tested technical advice, emotional support and even a little levity in this fun, new format this holiday season.”
But that’s not all. Throughout the month of November, Butterball will have Headspace, Instacart, and Spafinder gift card giveaways via Instagram.
You can also get daily tips and recommendations through Butterball’s Instagram starting Nov. 1 – the same day its Butterball Turkey Talk-Line opens for its 41st year.
