Here Are The Best Thanksgiving Episodes Of Your Favorite Shows

'Tis the season!

Gilmore Girls: A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving

Warner Bros.

Season 3 Episode 9

Gilmore Girls is just one of those shows that makes you want to cuddle up in a blanket alongside a warm cup of coffee and listen to the witty banter of the Lorelais. This episode captures the heart of the Gilmore's spirit and showcases just enough chaotic energy to make you feel better about your own Thanksgiving.

Friends: The One Where Ross Got High

Warner Bros

Season 6 Episode 9

Friends has some of the best Thanksgiving episodes, but this one is the most reminiscent of the actual holiday. Tension, trifles, and family issues all in the holiday spirit. That, and one of the best Friends scenes of all where everyone is exposing one another. Some honorable mentions: The One with the Football (Season 3 Episode 9), The One with the Thanksgiving Flashbacks (Season 5 Episode 8), and The One with the Rumor (Season 8 Episode 9).

How I Met Your Mother: Slapsgiving

20th Century Fox

Season 3 Episode 9

This episode feels less nostalgic than the last two but is still one of the best Thanksgiving episodes nonetheless. Slapsgiving will live forever in our hearts. "Thanksgiving is a time to get together, and none of you are taking it seriously! None of you! So, as slap bet commisioner, I institute a new law: at Thanksgiving there will be no slapping!" -- Lily aka mother

New Girl: Parents

20th Century Fox

Season 2 Episode 8

This is one of the better New Girl Thanksgiving episodes. Jess' escapades to try and parent-trap her parents are both hilarious and adorable. Much better than the one Thanksgiving episode when they find their neighbor dead on the toilet. Or the one where each loft member must pick a bang-able person for the other. Ok, so this one might win by default but it has all the perfect chaos of New Girl.
