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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
