Netflix Shows With Thanksgiving Specials

It's Thanksgiving, and that means it's time to cuddle up in your post-dinner coma and watch your favorite Thanksgiving episodes on TV. Maybe you love your family or maybe they drive you a bit crazy. Go ahead and escape for awhile and celebrate with someone else's family and friends. Here are some of the best shows with Thanksgiving episodes to watch, in no particular order:

New Girl

With four Thanksgiving episodes, New Girl offers plenty of festive options! There's a parent trap, a camping trip, and "Bangs-giving." Isn't it how we all imagine Thanksgiving as adults?

Season 1, Episode 6; Season 2, Episode 8; Season 3, Episode 10; Season 4, Episode 9.

Friends

Yet another escape from our own families into the ideal Thanksgiving as adults. Remember when Joey got his head stuck in a turkey? I sure do. Or when Underdog got away? Or the multiple kinds of potatoes? With an episode in every season, you'll have your fill of Friends Thanksgiving festivities.


Season 1, Episode 9; Season 2, Episode 8; Season 3, Episode 9; Season 4, Episode 8; Season 5, Episode 8; Season 6, Episode 9; Season 7, Episode 8; Season 8, Episode 8; Season 9, Episode 8; Season 10, Episode 8.

Gossip Girl

When I think "Thanksgiving episodes," I think Gossip Girl. The Big Apple is my ideal Thanksgiving setting. A chill in the air, leaves falling in Central Park, and lots and lots of drama.

Season 1, Episode 9; Season 2, Episode 11; Season 3, Episode 11; Season 4, Episode 10; Season 6, Episode 8.

Grey's Anatomy

I'll have to argue that the Grey's Thanksgiving episode is one of the best episodes in the early seasons. Rarely do we get to see the doctors in their normal lives, celebrating normal holidays (not that they don't set foot in the hospital despite it).

Season 2, Episode 9.

How I Met Your Mother

HIMYM Thanksgiving episodes mainly consist of Slapsgiving. Who doesn't love a good Slapsgiving? I'm also beginning to see an adult/friend theme here? Maybe they've figured out that Thanksgiving with friends is much better than drama with family? We'll have to try that...

Season 1, Episode 9; Season 3, Episode 9; Season 5, Episode 9; Season 6, Episode 10; Season 9, Episode 14.

Gilmore Girls

Isn't Stars Hollow the epitome of fall? What a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving. The Gilmore Girls never disappoint us. And what a perfect way to prepare for watching the revival!

Epsiode 3, Episode 9; Season 6, Episode 10.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy watching!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
