Your guide to celebrating November 26 2023
Skip to all 7 daysMake room beside the pumpkin pie, because November 26 puts cake on the Thanksgiving dessert table. For National Cake Day, bake something friendly rather than fussy, such as carrot cake, red velvet or a lemon drizzle cake. Decorating counts as part of the fun, so add icing or a few fondant shapes. A slightly lopsided flourish still tastes excellent.
Before dessert gets its grand entrance, gather your favorite people for Thanksgiving. Put familiar favorites on the table, including stuffing and pumpkin pie, and leave enough breathing room in the schedule to enjoy the meal. Take a moment to say what you are thankful for, aloud or quietly. The point is gratitude, not producing a speech fit for a podium.
Thanksgiving
Turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie! A time to be around the ones you love, give thanks, and celebrate the blessings in our lives.
Your table does not need the traditional centerpiece. Turkey Free Thanksgiving offers a chance to build the meal around plant-based dishes instead, whether your reason is kindness to animals, the planet or simply wanting a lighter menu. Choose dishes you will be happy to pass around and invite everyone to dig in.
Turkey Free Thanksgiving
Depart from tradition by switching to a Thanksgiving meal that is kinder to the animals, to the planet, and to your health.
Then uncover the cake and give it the spotlight it deserves. Cut generous slices and share any extras with neighbors or coworkers. Pumpkin pie may be the familiar guest at this feast, but cake is the one arriving in red velvet.
