Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and who played thanksgiving.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Kicking off our feast, we've got the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a tradition since 1924. But who's behind the scenes making this spectacle happen? Well, Jeannie Rivet has been the executive producer since 2016, ensuring every year is bigger and better than the last. And let's not forget the balloon handlers, those unsung heroes keeping our favorite characters afloat. They're a dedicated team, many of whom return year after year, led by concession stand manager, Tom Winter.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Now, let's talk about the classic 1987 comedy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. This Thanksgiving staple follows Neal Page, played by the late, great Steve Martin, as he tries to get home for the holiday. His comedic foil? The lovable Del Griffith, played by the one and only John Candy. Together, they create a hilarious duo that's become a Thanksgiving must-watch.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
No Thanksgiving lineup would be complete without a little Peanuts magic. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first aired in 1973, with Charlie Brown voiced by Peter Robbins. When Charlie invites the whole gang over for dinner, it's up to Snoopy and Woodstock to save the day. And who could forget the Patty and Marcie debate? Christopher DeFaria voices Marcie, while Tracy Stratford lends her voice to Patty.
The Blind Side
For a heartwarming tale, we've got The Blind Side (2009). Based on the true story of Michael Oher, the film follows his journey from homelessness to the NFL, with the help of the Tuohy family. Sandra Bullock delivers an Oscar-winning performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy, while Tim McGraw plays her husband, Sean Tuohy. And of course, Quinton Aaron brings Michael Oher's inspiring story to life.
Holidate
Lastly, let's give a shoutout to Holidate (2020), a Netflix original that's become a new Thanksgiving favorite. Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey star as two strangers who agree to be each other's "holidates" - platonic dates for holidays. It's a fun, festive flick that'll have you laughing and swooning all the way to the pumpkin pie.
So there you have it, folks! A who's who of Thanksgiving entertainment. Whether you're in the mood for laughs, tears, or a little bit of both, these talented folks have got you covered. Now, who's ready for seconds?
