The Daily Meal's Guide To Thanksgiving

It's that time of the year again — the leaves have turned, the clocks have moved back an hour, and everyone's Halloween costumes have been stowed away until next year's festivities. It's Thanksgiving season and planning is already underway for much-loved holiday.

Because Thanksgiving centers on one thing — breaking bread — it's only fitting that The Daily Meal would be here to provide you with every little tool you'll need to make sure this year's Thanksgiving is a successful one. From menu guides to entertaining tips and recipes, we have everything you need to pull off the perfect Thanksgiving.

Can't decide which turkey to buy this year? We outline the basics of what you should consider when choosing a bird. Have you been tasked with creating a playlist this year? Our upcoming Thanksgiving Playlist guide from Entertain will help you create the perfect list of holiday melodies to accompany your meal.
