The 13 most wholesome Thanksgiving TV episodes to stream

New Girl Thanksgiving episode “Parents”

Choosing a favorite Thanksgiving episode from the sitcom “New Girl” was quite challenging due to their many excellent installments. However, I eventually picked season 2, episode 8, titled “Parents,” because it’s the initial themed comedy episode in the series and has elements reminiscent of “The Parent Trap.” While everyone appreciates a bit of drama, we prefer it to be more on the fun and comedic side – and that’s exactly what “Parents” delivers! Another popular Thanksgiving episode from “New Girl” is season 6, episode 7, titled “Last Thanksgiving.” Enjoy streaming this and all other “New Girl” episodes on Hulu.

All of Friends Thanksgiving episodes

My top choice for Thanksgiving viewing has always been Friends episodes – it’s remarkable how shows from the past are so unique! Just as with New Girl, deciding on a favorite episode from Friends was no walk in the park. However, I hold season 3, episode 9, titled “The One With the Football,” in high regard. Additionally, I adore “The One With Rachel’s Other Sister” (season 9, episode 8), and “The One With the Rumor” never fails to make me chuckle. You can find all these episodes streaming on Max.

The Office Thanksgiving episode “WUPHF.com”

When I contemplate holiday specials, it’s undeniably The Office that springs to mind first. Although the show’s holiday episodes incorporate some bawdy humor and prioritize comedy over heartwarming moments, this is simply a reflection of the series as a whole! One of many aspects that make us adore it, is its ability to serve as an enjoyable escape. If you can only watch one holiday-themed episode (there are plenty), I’d recommend “WUPHF.com” on Thanksgiving. Lastly, don’t forget to stream “Dwight Christmas” (season 9, episode 9) when the festive season arrives.
