Thanksgiving Countdown: 7 Days to a Perfect Holiday

Thanksgiving is almost here! Whether you’re hosting friends and family or 
just enjoying a cozy day at home, our Thanksgiving Countdown will help you prepare, plan, and make the holiday unforgettable.

Day 7: Plan Your Menu

Start by deciding your main dishes, sides, and desserts. Consider adding a mix of family favorites and new recipes to keep things exciting. Don’t forget to check your pantry for staples!

Day 6: Create a Guest List & Seating

Decide how many people you’ll host and plan seating arrangements. This helps avoid last-minute chaos and ensures everyone has a cozy spot at the table.

 

Day 5: Start Your Shopping

Make a grocery list based on your menu. Buy non-perishable items now to avoid the Thanksgiving rush. Pro tip: check for sales and local deals—Utah stores often have great holiday specials!

Day 4: Prep Your Home

Decorate your space with a festive touch—think pumpkins, candles, and autumn colors. A warm, inviting atmosphere makes everyone feel at home.

Day 3: Prep Dishes Ahead

Many dishes can be made ahead of time. Consider prepping desserts, casseroles, and even some sides now. It’ll save you from kitchen stress on the big day.

Day 2: Set the Table

Lay out table settings, centerpieces, and napkins. Even simple touches like folded napkins or a seasonal centerpiece make your table feel special.

Day 1: Give Thanks

Take a moment to reflect on what you’re thankful for and share it with your family. Encourage everyone to say one thing they’re grateful for before the feast—it’s the heart of Thanksgiving.

Bonus Tip:

Keep a few fun activities ready for after the meal—like a gratitude game, board game, or a walk outside. It keeps the energy joyful and gives everyone a chance to relax.
