Sure, you can always fall back on your usual Thanksgiving traditions, like watching football or playing board games, but why not get a little more creative this year? Make 2023 your happiest one yet by planning a few Thanksgiving activities for the whole family to enjoy. But when the big day rolls around, there's a lot of waiting and downtime involved between bites and sips. Fall is a time to eat, drink, and be cranberry- Thanksgiving pun intended! You probably have the 'eat' and 'drink' parts covered with a mouthwatering Thanksgiving menu.
