Creative Ways to Celebrate Thanksgiving this Year

Thanksgiving is the time for us to share our gratitude as we give what we have to our friends and family. However, as we know, this feast will be a little different as we are slowly recovering from a difficult year away from our loved ones. So we want to make your Thanksgiving feel festive and special, even while you are far away in order to keep safe.

You know things will look different for Thanksgiving of 2021, but you can still give thanks and enjoy the company of your loved ones while staying safe. Enjoy all our online suggestions, from workshops to online tastings with your loved ones, but most of all enjoy quality time with the people you care about most.

Schedule a Virtual Celebration

Not surprisingly, people are still hosting all kinds of virtual parties. If your family can't get together for Thanksgiving, you can still see each other using video calling software like Zoom. Set a designated time, and make sure you walk older family members through the process of setting up the program in advance.
