Christmas dinner costs $90–$95 in Canada, stable from 2023, but grocery prices may rise $1,000 by 2026.

Christmas dinner for four to six people in Canada costs $90 to $95 in 2024, similar to 2023, according to Dalhousie University’s Sylvain Charlebois. Turkey prices dropped to $18–$22 for a 3- to 3.5-kilogram bird, down from $22–$25 in 2023, while potatoes and carrots became more affordable. Cranberries and gravy saw modest increases. Despite stable holiday meal costs, experts project grocery expenses for a Canadian family of four could rise nearly $1,000 in 2026 due to ongoing inflation.
