Thanksgiving special
November broadcast tradition
A Thanksgiving special is a television episode or program produced specifically for the Thanksgiving holiday, typically airing in late November.
Like Christmas specials, these often feature holiday-themed plots—family gatherings, turkey disasters, gratitude lessons—within regular series: The Thanksgiving special where everyone argues at dinner.
The term also applies to limited-time menu items or retail promotions tied to the holiday.
