14 Funny Thanksgiving Pickup Lines To Try Out On Your Crush

I’m not sure about you, but Thanksgiving dinner is one of my favorite meals of the year. I mean, come on: Who doesn’t love green beans, mashed potatoes, and turkey (yes, those are all of my own personal favorites)? Thanksgiving is simply a different time, encompassed by the falling leaves, knit sweaters, and spending time with the ones you love the most. For some of us, we’re still trying to get our flirt on during the holiday season, and one way that you can accomplish this is with the use of pickup lines.

Yes, pickup lines! We all know them, we all love them… no matter how corny they might get. With Thanksgiving coming up, I’ve compiled a list of the 14 best pickup lines that are sure to catch the attention of that special someone this holiday season. 

The only thing sweeter than pumpkin pie is you.

Yes, it’s true: Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite desserts, so if I’m dishing out this line, it must be pretty serious.

You look as good as Thanksgiving dinner!

Remember how I said I’m in love with Thanksgiving dinner? Yeah, I wasn’t kidding. 

Are you the Mayflower? Because you’ve been sailing through my mind all day.

This one is a classic pickup line with a little Thanksgiving twist. 

You came in like a butterball.

Take it full Miley Cyrus wrecking ball with this one.

You put the “ass” in “casserole.” 

Use this one for that special someone with a little extra junk in the trunk.

You’re the turkey to my gravy.

This one has me hungry just reading it. Is there a better way to compliment someone? I think not.

What’s on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner? Me-n-u.

If you’re gonna be cheesy, you might as well go all the way!

It’s the season of giving, so why not give me your number?

Listen to me: No more giving out your Snapchat! If someone wants your contact info, they better be asking for your number.

If you’ll be the pumpkin, I’ll be your spice.

If your partner doesn’t like pumpkin spice, then you might want to re-evaluate your decision.

Pumpkin isn’t the only cutie pie at this Thanksgiving dinner.

I know, there’s a bunch of pumpkin-themed pickup lines, but who doesn’t love pumpkin?

You’re the apple (pie) of my eye.

A funny twist on a classic saying, apple pie also deserves its flowers this Thanksgiving.

Let’s skip the turkey and go straight for dessert.

When you want to be incredibly *direct* this Thanksgiving.

I’d let you butter my biscuit anytime.

Okay, this one might be just a little cringe, but it allows you to just get straight to the point with that special someone. 

I’m not the best at cooking, so why don’t we just go out sometime?

For those of you who don’t enjoy cooking, throw this one their way, and you might just land yourself a hot date night!
