Thanksgiving is creeping up on us and if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that this holiday is pretty darn great. It’s the one time of year you get to stuff yourself with mashed potatoes and pie to the edge of explosion and not feel an ounce of guilt about it. And, you know, reminding yourself of everything + everyone you’re grateful for.
But let’s face it: trying to travel home at this time of year for Thanksgiving can be a bit of a headache (not to mention expensive!). The solution for avoiding the hassle while also not eating a turkey tv dinner alone in your apartment? Friendsgiving! If you’re staying put this Thanksgiving, with the family you get to choose, make it extra special with these 20 feel-good turkey day tracks.
