Thanksgiving is coming up, and that means spending time with our families and (hopefully) relaxing at home. But equally importantly, it’s time to celebrate your friends with our favorite fall holiday: Friendsgiving!
Friendsgiving can be celebrated as a potluck or as a traditional, family-style dinner. It’s always a ton of fun, and can be added to your regularly scheduled Thanksgiving plans, either the day before or after. Or if you’d prefer, you can celebrate with your roommates or BFFs on campus the weekend before Thanksgiving break.
Whenever you plan to have it, Friendsgiving is the perfect way to let your besties know that you are thankful to have them in your life. Ready to throw an amazing Friendsgiving this year? This guide will tell you how to do exactly that!
