Thanksgiving

November 26, 2026

Array of foods on a table including a large turkey for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is celebrated annually on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, marking a time to reflect on gratitude and share a meal with family and friends. This national holiday traces its origins back to the early 17th century, when the Pilgrims and Native Americans came together to celebrate the harvest. Today, Thanksgiving is a time for people to gather, share a meal, and express thanks for the blessings of the past year.

The traditional meal includes roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, though each family may have its own unique recipes and customs. Beyond the feast, the holiday also emphasises generosity and community, with many people volunteering at shelters or donating to food drives to support those in need.

Thanksgiving is not only a celebration of food and family but also a time for reflection and giving back. Whether through large gatherings, intimate dinners, or acts of kindness, the spirit of gratitude remains at the heart of the holiday.
