The 25 Best Thanksgiving Movies to Enjoy Over a Long, Indulgent Weekend – Vogue
Photo: Courtesy Everett CollectionWhether you’re heading home for Thanksgiving this month or camping out with friends, you’ll likely be spending at least a few hours looking for the perfect movie (or movies!) to help kindle the holiday spirit. To be sure, the brilliance of classics like A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Miracle on 34th Street, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles should never be understated—but sometimes, it’s fun to cue up something a little different.
To that end, we’ve crafted a list of slightly more offbeat movies set on, around, or at the very least around the idea of Thanksgiving for your viewing pleasure. So, as you look ahead to a long weekend of eating and drinking, browse our favorite Thanksgiving-y movies below.
His Three Daughters (2023)

If you need a little escape from your own semi-dysfunctional family this holiday season, consider Azazel Jacobs’s intimate drama about three sisters (played by Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon, and the great Natasha Lyonne) who reunite in New York City to care for their dying father. Cue: fierce infighting, some light gambling, and moments of truly touching grace.
The Humans (2021)
Adapted from director Stephen Karam’s own Tony-winning play, The Humans—about a family assembled in a leaking, creaking Lower Manhattan apartment for Thanksgiving dinner—features a winning ensemble cast, including Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, Steven Yeun, and June Squibb.
Little Women (2019)
Most Popular
- Opinion Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? By Chanté Joseph
- TV & Movies I Want What They Have: Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis By Emma Specter
- Celebrity Beauty Hailey Bieber Doesn’t Do Botox—Here’s What She Does Instead By Anna Cafolla
Yes, it was released on Christmas Day in 2019—and has all of the snow and crackling fires to make that appropriate—but Greta Gerwig’s spirited retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel goes down easy on Thanksgiving, too. One of history’s great family dramas, Little Women is at once about four sisters finding their way in the world, and the ties that bind them all together.
Krisha (2015)
In Trey Edward Shults’s bracing feature-length directorial debut, Krisha Fairchild plays Krisha, a sort of recovering addict who invites her estranged extended family over for Thanksgiving dinner. While the day begins peaceably enough, in time tempers flare, feelings get hurt, and it becomes clear that Krisha isn’t quite as reformed as she’d claimed to be.

We went out for a drive tonight to see some xmas lights around town. Jen and I were telling Bellana about a pair of houses we saw a few years ago that actually had their light display stretch across the street. We couldn’t remember where it was though. It made us a little sad.
Jen was directing us around based off of a screen shot of a facebook post that had some addresses on it. She took us to Sampson Street and wouldn’t you know it, that was the place where the lights stretched across the street! It wasn’t two houses, it was practically the whole street, but the lights only crossed in one spot.
It was really cool.
It made me wonder… is this a case of multiple households collaborating, or is it one household who knocks on doors asking if they can decorate other people’s houses. I wonder.
Drives around town like this are attempts at jump starting xmas spirit for me. It generally doesn’t work. I still doubt that I will have anything resembling holiday spirit before the 21st or 22nd of December. That’s just how it goes for me. It would be fun if it weren’t true and I could get into it early, but nope.
