Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to slow down, enjoy delicious food with our loved ones and take a moment to practice gratitude. For some of us that means gathering together in the kitchen, on the couch watching football, attending a parade or festive event, or sitting around the table playing games with friends and family.

We’ve put together the ultimate 2025 Thanksgiving Guide to help you plan, prepare and celebrate this occasion to the fullest. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
