Thanksgiving is the time to appreciate what you have and what better way to celebrate than with some of your closest friends? Here are some ideas for a “Friends-Giving” party this holiday season:

Make Apple Turkeys with each other:

  • You’ll need: apples, toothpicks, gumdrops, marshmallows, raisins, and candy corn. These cute treats are fun to make (and eat too)!

Have a Potluck dinner:

  • Have everyone bring a dish to share. Sit down for a nice meal and reminisce with each other about your best moments together.

Make pilgrim sandwiches together:

  • You’ll need: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy (or mayo), and hard rolls. It’s the quick version of Thanksgiving dinner – all the best things in one sandwich!

Get sentimental: Have everyone write three reasons of why you’re thankful for one another – they can be funny, cute, or tear-jerking reasons!

 

Secret Santa, Thanksgiving style: Pick names out of a hat beforehand and give gifts to each other based on why you’re thankful for that person!
