Cup Noodles is going full holiday mode with the release of two new limited-edition flavors: Turkey Dinner and Pumpkin Pie. These unconventional ramen cups are designed to deliver the full Thanksgiving experience—savory entrée and dessert included—in a format that’s microwaveable, portable, and undeniably wild.
The flavors are available exclusively at Walmart for $1.18 per cup, or $7.08 for a six-pack, while supplies last.
What’s Inside the Cups
Each flavor is packed with ingredients and seasonings meant to mimic traditional holiday dishes:
- Turkey Dinner Cup Noodles: Features herb-seasoned turkey broth, sweet corn, cranberry bursts, green beans, warming spices, and tender noodles.
- Pumpkin Pie Cup Noodles: A dessert-style ramen with pumpkin flavor, caramelized brown sugar, and autumn spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Both flavors are ready in minutes and can be prepared with boiling water or microwaved directly in the cup.
Why Cup Noodles Went There
According to Priscila Stanton, SVP of Marketing at Nissin Foods USA, the goal was to “make Thanksgiving moist again” by turning two traditionally dry dishes into slurpable comfort food. The brand has previously released quirky flavors like Dill Pickle, Maple Syrup Pancake, and Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese, but this marks its first full holiday meal concept.
Fan Reactions
Early taste testers have called the Turkey Dinner flavor “shockingly accurate” and the Pumpkin Pie version “sweet, weird, and oddly satisfying.” Social media users are already planning taste-test parties and posting reactions to the unexpected combo.
