All About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of America's most beloved holidays, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November each year. The holiday traces its roots to 1621, when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag people shared an autumn harvest feast. It has since grown into a national tradition centered around family gatherings, gratitude, and of course, food.

The classic Thanksgiving menu features roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. The tradition of the presidential turkey pardon has been practiced informally since the 1940s and officially since 1989.
