Thanksgiving is a holiday we all look forward to. It's a special time of year that we get to spend with loved ones sitting around the table. This year, sadly, is a bit different.
You might find yourself a great distance away from loved ones or maybe just a few miles away. If you're trying to practice social distancing, you may be struggling to find ways to keep yourself and your family entertained this holiday. A moving night is a great way to do this!
In fact, there are quite a few classic Thanksgiving Day films that you can incorporate into your movie marathon that will have the whole family laughing and making new memories together in no time.
Another smart idea might be to plan this movie night for all your friends and relatives and have everyone hop on a zoom call to watch the films (virtually).
So, without further ado, here is our list of the best Thanksgiving Day movies on earth!
