About the Thanksgiving 2024 Doodle
Feast your eyes on this annual Thanksgiving Doodle! On the fourth Thursday of November, families and friends around the United States enjoy delicious dinners and spend quality time with each other. On Thanksgiving, Americans spend time reflecting on and sharing what they are grateful for. Some people choose to spend the day organizing food drives, charity runs and free dinners to give back to their communities.
Food is at the heart of Thanksgiving celebrations. Staple dishes include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and more. Towns and communities across the country also host lively parades filled with catchy music and impressive floats — like the one depicted in the Doodle artwork!
Happy Thanksgiving!
