Need something to watch with your loved ones this Thanksgiving? From the Geller Cup to Rachel’s Thanksgiving trifle, Friends has plenty of Thanksgiving episodes to get you in the Thanksgiving mood. Here are my favorite Friends Thanksgiving episodes:

The One With The Football (Season 3 Episode 9)

Sibling rivalry between Monica and Ross leads to a game of touch football, where they go head-to-head as opposing captains, determined to win the Geller Cup. The game progressively gets more competitive and postpones Thanksgiving dinner.

The One With All The Thanksgivings (Season 5 Episode 8)

Have you ever had a Thanksgiving go horribly wrong? Check out this episode of Friends where the gang share stories about their worst Thanksgivings.

The One Where Ross Got High (Season 6 Episode 9)

The gang spends Thanksgiving with Ross and Monica’s parents. This episode is the one where secrets are spilled: Monica and Ross go back and forth exposing each other to their parents, Rachel messes up her dessert trifle, Phoebe declares her love for Jacques Cousteau, and Joey wants to leave.

The One with the Rumor (Season 8 Episode 9)

Monica’s old friend from high school, Will, played by Brad Pitt, spends this Thanksgiving with the gang and it takes a hilarious turn for the worse. During all of this, Joey prepares to eat the gigantic turkey Monica made.

The One With The Late Thanksgiving (Season 10 Episode 8)

Phoebe, Rachel, Ross, and Joey all show up very late to dinner. Monica and Chandler are upset, considering they didn’t want to host Thanksgiving in the first place. They refuse to let the others in, resulting in Joey’s head being stuck in the door!
