Something I’m grateful for this year: With so many Thanksgiving traditions off the table due to the pandemic, at least we can still binge-watch all the best Thanksgiving episodes that TV has to offer. Truth be told, while I love some of the more traditional staples of eating delicious food and focusing on togetherness, spending Turkey Day with the shows I love has always been one of my favorite traditions anyway. And this year, I’ll only be leaning harder into it as part of my lonely holiday self-care. Because, TBH, I don’t have a ton else going on.
So ahead of Thanksgiving this year, I pulled together this nifty cheat sheet of Thanksgiving episodes old and new. Many are from shows that do (or did) Thanksgiving specials pretty regularly, with a few notable exceptions from fan-favorite shows I couldn’t not include.
Wishing you a safe and okay-ish holiday, hopefully with the help of these Turkey Day–themed episodes.
