When you holiday, you turkey.

From prepping to roasting, to gathering at the table for Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa or New Year’s—when you #GatherAroundBCTurkey this December, you bring everyone to the table. So follow along this month as we celebrate Holiday Gatherings & Creative Leftovers!

Whether it’s a holiday meal, Friendsmas, staff get-togethers, social gatherings, or more, turkey feasts bring us together. Thanks to its healthy, lean protein and nutritional components, each bite warms you from the inside out. And to help you make the most of your whole bird, we have a lineup of recipes that’ll stretch that big feast into many meals coming later this month.

For now, visit Canadian Turkey for a whole list of recipes and turkey hacks!

Holiday Gatherings & Creative Leftovers Turkey Contest

This December, we paired up with JD Farms and two BC-based content creators, Haan Palcu-Chang and Natasha Mills, to offer two lucky BC residents a FREE specialty turkey right before the holidays! Check out @britishcolumbiaturkey for both their videos and the chance to enter-to-win!

At a historically difficult time of year, we wanted to give back to the community. This is our way of saying thank you for all your support throughout the year, and bringing a taste of turkey to your table. We are so thankful to live in a province as extraordinary as British Columbia and represent all our turkey farmers!

The “12 Days of Turkey” Countdown

With the holidays fast approaching, we’d love to amp up the excitement by celebrating all that we have achieved throughout 2025! Starting on Monday, December 8th and running until Saturday, December 20th, we are going to unveil a curated collection of inspirational messages, seasonal recipes, and creative content over the past twelve months.

Since it really does take a community, we want to take this time to thank different businesses, content creators, and the individuals who helped us spread the word about turkey this year. It’s always a core part of our values to support our farmers, processors, and distributors, as well as strengthen our agricultural sector. Knowing where our food comes from and making sure we fuel our bodies with locally-grown products is near and dear to our hearts. So to all of those who helped us this year, thank you.

We couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished, and can’t wait to continue the hard work in 2026! It’s been a wonderful year full of delicious turkey meals and snacks, and so as we #GatherAroundBCTurkey with you over the holidays, we raise a toast to you—our consumers!
