Thanksgiving specials
November broadcast programming
Thanksgiving specials are television programs, typically episodes of existing series or standalone productions, that air around the American November holiday.
They often feature holiday-themed plots involving family gatherings, turkey dinners, gratitude, or travel mishaps: The sitcom's Thanksgiving special became an annual tradition.
The format parallels Christmas specials but with distinctly American themes of homecoming and awkward family dynamics.
