When to order your Christmas turkey in Ireland

Timing, allocation and why popular sizes go first.

Pre-orders open in autumn

Christmas turkey ordering at Hogan's Farm opens in the autumn, well ahead of the week before Christmas when birds are prepared for delivery and collection. The earlier you order, the more choice you have on weight band and fulfilment day.

Why popular sizes fill first

We work to allocation caps per weight band rather than guessing exact stock months ahead. When a band reaches its cap it closes on the shop. Raising a cap can reopen it. That is why mid-range family sizes often go first.

Delivery and collection windows

Leinster delivery dates depend on your county. Farm collection days are chosen at checkout, with Christmas collection available through December (we close at 12pm on the 24th). Thanksgiving orders have their own November collection days.

What to do if your size is closed

Join the waitlist on the product page. If allocation is raised, waitlist emails go out oldest first. You can also look at a neighbouring weight, or a crown or joint that serves the same number of guests.
