There is something about decorating my front porch for Thanksgiving that feels different from decorating it for any other autumn occasion. Halloween can be playful and dramatic, but Thanksgiving makes me want the entrance to feel warm, generous, and settled. I picture family arriving with casserole dishes balanced in their arms, neighbors stopping for a quick conversation, and that soft late-autumn light landing on pots filled with wheat, mums, pumpkins, and branches. A thoughtfully arranged planter can create that welcoming feeling before anyone even reaches the front door. It does not need to be expensive or perfectly symmetrical. In fact, the porch arrangements I love most usually include weathered pots, uneven branches, faded leaves, and a few pumpkins that look as though they came straight from a farm stand.
When I put together Thanksgiving porch planters, I try to balance beauty with what will actually hold up outdoors. Containers need drainage, and even cool-weather plants still require attention to moisture; ornamental kale and related fall crops perform best in well-drained soil that is not allowed to dry out completely. Their colors often become richer as temperatures cool, which makes them especially useful for late-season displays. Pansies, coral bells, flowering kale, and similar cool-weather plants can also work well in pots, although exact performance depends on the local climate. With that practical foundation in mind, I can concentrate on the part I enjoy most: combining natural materials, seasonal color, and personal details into a front porch that feels ready to welcome everyone home.
1. Build a Layered Mum and Pumpkin Planter
Mums and pumpkins may be classic fall decorations, but I have learned that the way I layer them makes the difference between a basic arrangement and one that feels thoughtfully designed. I start with a wide porch pot filled with one full mum in a golden yellow, deep rust, or creamy bronze shade. Rather than placing the plant in the exact center, I shift it slightly toward the back. That leaves room in front for a small pumpkin, a trailing vine, or a cluster of mini gourds. The asymmetry makes the planter look more natural, almost as if the pieces gradually collected there over the season rather than being arranged all at once.
I usually repeat one or two colors from the planter elsewhere on the porch so the whole entrance feels connected. If the mum is rust-colored, I might add a faded terracotta pumpkin nearby or tie a cinnamon-colored ribbon around a lantern handle. I also avoid using only bright orange pumpkins. Soft green, cream, pale peach, and deeply ribbed brown varieties give the arrangement more depth. When the flowers begin to fade, the pumpkins and foliage still carry the display, which means I do not have to rebuild the entire porch just before Thanksgiving guests arrive.
2. Fill a Tall Urn with Wheat, Grasses, and Branches
When I want height beside the front door, I often turn to a tall urn filled with dried wheat, ornamental grass, and bare branches. This kind of arrangement feels more refined than a traditional flower pot, yet it still has the relaxed character I associate with harvest season. I begin with a sturdy base of soil, sand, or floral foam secured deep inside the container. Then I place the tallest branches first, allowing them to lean in different directions. Around those, I tuck in wheat stems, dried millet, fountain grass plumes, and a few copper-colored leaves.
The biggest mistake I used to make with tall arrangements was trying to create a perfectly even fan. Nature rarely grows that way, and the overly balanced shape made my planters look artificial. Now I vary the heights and leave a few open spaces between stems. I also check that the planter is weighted properly because tall branches can catch strong autumn winds. A heavy stone urn or a container with gravel in the bottom is much safer than a lightweight plastic pot. The finished arrangement frames the doorway beautifully and continues looking good even after the first cold nights have ended the flowering season.
3. Create an Ornamental Kale Harvest Pot
Ornamental kale is one of my favorite plants for a Thanksgiving porch because it looks almost like an oversized flower while tolerating cooler conditions better than many warm-season annuals. I like choosing plants with creamy white centers, dusty rose edges, or purple-green leaves. Their rounded shape fills the middle of a container nicely, and the layered foliage gives the planter a substantial look without requiring many separate plants. Cool weather can intensify the foliage color, which is one reason these plants become so striking later in the season.
To keep the pot from feeling too formal, I surround the kale with looser materials. A few trailing ivy stems soften the edge, while dried seed heads or fine-textured grasses add height. I may tuck a miniature white pumpkin into the front, but I resist adding too many. The kale should remain the star. I also make sure the container drains well and check the soil rather than assuming cooler weather means the plant no longer needs water. This arrangement looks especially beautiful in an aged terracotta pot because the chalky foliage and weathered clay share the same muted, natural quality.
4. Turn an Old Galvanized Tub into a Farmhouse Planter
An old galvanized tub gives a Thanksgiving porch immediate farmhouse character, and I love that it offers enough space to create a full miniature harvest scene. I line the bottom with drainage material and use lightweight container mix so the tub is not impossibly heavy. Then I combine two or three plants with different shapes: a rounded mum, a spiky grass, and a low trailing plant. The broad surface leaves room to nestle pumpkins and gourds between the living plants without crowding their roots.
What makes this idea feel personal is allowing the metal tub to show its age. I do not polish away every dull mark or small patch of rust because those imperfections make the arrangement feel genuine. I might add a folded grain sack beneath one edge or lean an old wooden scoop against the side, but I keep accessories limited so the display does not become a themed prop collection. The tub works particularly well on a deep porch where it can sit against a wall and remain sheltered from heavy rain. It becomes a generous, abundant focal point that feels fitting for Thanksgiving without relying on signs or obvious holiday wording.
5. Use Cornstalks as a Backdrop for Porch Pots
Cornstalks can make even modest planters feel more dramatic because they create height and movement behind the containers. I like tying a small bundle to a porch post or railing rather than placing several oversized bundles on both sides of the door. One well-positioned group often looks more natural and leaves enough room for guests to walk comfortably. At the base, I arrange two or three pots in graduated heights, allowing the stalks to act as a soft golden backdrop.
I secure the bundle carefully with natural jute twine and then hide the knot beneath a strip of plaid or linen ribbon. The stalks should be dry enough not to rot against the porch, but not so brittle that every breeze sends pieces across the steps. In front, I keep the pots simpler—perhaps one cream mum, one planter of kale, and a smaller bowl of gourds. The contrast between the tall, rustic stalks and the rounded containers gives the whole entrance a pleasing structure. It also draws the eye upward, which can make a narrow porch feel taller and more welcoming.
6. Design a Monochromatic White and Green Harvest Pot
Not every Thanksgiving arrangement needs to be orange, red, and yellow. Some years I prefer a quieter palette built around cream, soft green, and weathered gray. I begin with white ornamental cabbage or pale flowers, then add eucalyptus, silvery foliage, and a small green pumpkin. In a charcoal, stone, or galvanized container, the arrangement feels fresh and understated while still reflecting the harvest season.
The key to keeping a monochromatic planter interesting is using texture instead of relying on color contrast. Smooth pumpkin skin, ruffled kale leaves, feathery grass, papery eucalyptus, and rough bark all bring something different to the display. I may include one tiny touch of bronze through a ribbon or metal lantern, but I keep it restrained. This style works especially well on a porch with a colorful front door because the planter supports the entrance rather than competing with it. It also transitions beautifully into early winter, since white and green do not look out of place once Thanksgiving has passed.
7. Arrange Pumpkins Around a Planted Crock
Large stoneware crocks make wonderful porch planters because they feel substantial and collected rather than newly purchased for the season. I fill mine with a loose mix of burgundy foliage, golden mums, and dried grass, then surround the base with pumpkins in different sizes. Instead of creating a perfect circle, I allow the pumpkins to trail toward one side, almost like a harvest spilling gently across the porch floor.
I pay attention to the condition of each pumpkin before placing it against the pot. A pumpkin with soft spots or broken skin can deteriorate quickly, especially if it sits on damp concrete. Sound pumpkins can last well when kept under suitable cool, dry conditions, although outdoor weather and direct moisture will affect them. I lift the pumpkins occasionally to check underneath and place a thin wood slice or outdoor mat beneath them if the porch tends to stay wet. That small habit helps preserve the arrangement and keeps the porch surface cleaner.
8. Make a Basket-Style Planter with Burlap Lining
A large woven basket can soften a porch filled with hard surfaces, especially when the steps, siding, and containers are all stone or metal. I line the basket with heavy plastic, pierce several drainage openings, and place a planted nursery pot inside rather than filling the basket directly with soil. This method protects the basket and makes it easier to replace the plant later. A full mum, fountain grass, or mixed kale container fits beautifully inside.
To give it a Thanksgiving finish, I fold the top of the liner out of sight and tuck loose burlap around the nursery pot. A few miniature gourds can rest along the edge, but I avoid piling them so high that air cannot circulate around the plant. The basket looks especially inviting beside a porch bench or rocking chair, where it feels like part of the furniture rather than a formal garden feature. Once the season is over, I can remove the plant and reuse the basket indoors for blankets, firewood, or holiday greenery.
9. Combine Pansies with Mini Pumpkins
Pansies bring a delicate note to fall containers, and their small faces look especially charming beside miniature pumpkins. I like using rich shades such as burgundy, antique gold, cream, and deep purple rather than a rainbow mixture. Grouping related colors gives the planter a more mature Thanksgiving feeling. I plant them densely enough to create a full edge around the container, leaving an open pocket near the front for one or two tiny pumpkins.
Because the pumpkins sit on top of the soil, I place them on a small flat stone or overturned plant saucer so they are not resting directly against damp potting mix. This simple step keeps the fruit cleaner and allows me to water the pansies without soaking the pumpkin. Pansies can be useful cool-season pot plants, but they still need regular care and benefit from removing faded blooms. I enjoy this arrangement most in a shallow bowl or low urn where guests can see the little details as they walk up the steps.
10. Create a Rustic Apple-Crate Planter Display
Wooden apple crates instantly suggest orchards and harvest season, but I use them carefully so the porch does not start resembling a store display. One crate turned on its side can create a raised platform for a planter, while a second pot sits directly on the porch beside it. The different levels make a small collection feel more intentional. I usually place a compact mum or ornamental grass on top and tuck a few apples, gourds, or pinecones into a shallow bowl below.
If I use real apples, I treat them as a short-term decoration and check them often. Wildlife, insects, warm afternoons, and bruising can quickly change how long fresh fruit remains attractive outdoors. For a longer-lasting display, I use small pumpkins, empty baskets, or dried seed pods instead. I also make sure the crate is stable and does not block the walkway. A Thanksgiving porch should feel welcoming, and no arrangement is worth creating a tripping hazard for someone carrying a hot pie up the steps.
11. Add a Lantern Inside a Wide Planter
A wide, low planter can become more than a flower container when I place a lantern at its center and arrange seasonal materials around it. I prefer a lantern with an enclosed flameless candle, especially near dry leaves, grasses, and straw. Around the base, I add moss, mini pumpkins, pinecones, and a few short evergreen or eucalyptus sprigs. The combination gives the planter a soft glow in the evening without requiring a large amount of living plant material.
I leave enough open space around the lantern so it remains easy to lift out when I need to change the batteries or clean the glass. I also avoid packing dried material against any real flame; for this kind of arrangement, a flameless candle is the practical choice. The planter looks lovely beside the front door, but it can also sit on a wide step where the glow helps guide guests. It feels festive without being overly decorative, and I can update it after Thanksgiving by removing the pumpkins and adding winter greenery.
12. Plant a Burgundy and Copper Container
A burgundy and copper color scheme feels rich, warm, and slightly more dramatic than the typical orange fall palette. I often begin with a deep burgundy heuchera or similar foliage plant, then add copper-toned grass, rust-colored mums, and dark red leaves. A weathered bronze or black container makes the colors appear even deeper, particularly in the softer light of November.
This planter works best when I include one lighter element to prevent the arrangement from becoming visually heavy. A cream pumpkin, pale seed head, or a few straw-colored wheat stems provide just enough contrast. I also repeat the copper tone elsewhere, perhaps with a lantern or ribbon, so the container does not feel isolated. The result is a porch display that looks sophisticated from the street but still reveals plenty of texture and detail when guests come closer.
13. Create a Herb-Filled Thanksgiving Porch Pot
I love decorations that are beautiful and useful, so a porch pot filled with hardy herbs has real appeal. Depending on the climate and exposure, I might combine rosemary, sage, thyme, and parsley in a container near the kitchen door. The silvery green tones look lovely with terracotta, and the fragrance is noticeable whenever I brush past the leaves. For Thanksgiving, I add a few upright wheat stems and a small pumpkin resting near the rim.
I am careful not to assume every herb will tolerate every November climate. A sheltered porch may offer some protection, but a hard freeze can still damage tender plants. I use a container light enough to move indoors or into a protected space when necessary. I also keep decorative additions away from the plant crowns so air and water can reach the soil. The idea feels especially personal because I can clip a little rosemary or sage while preparing dinner, making the front porch part of the Thanksgiving meal rather than simply its backdrop.
14. Style a Pair of Mismatched Terracotta Pots
Perfectly matching planters can look formal, but mismatched terracotta pots create the kind of relaxed, gathered-over-time style I naturally prefer. I choose two pots with different heights and slightly different patinas, then connect them through color rather than shape. One might hold golden mums and trailing ivy, while the other contains purple kale and bronze grass. Repeating a single element, such as wheat stems or cream pumpkins, helps the pair feel related.
Terracotta is porous and can dry more quickly than glazed containers, so I check the soil even when the weather is cool. I also pay attention to freezing conditions because wet terracotta can crack in harsh climates. When a severe freeze is expected, I move treasured or delicate pots to a protected area. The weathered clay brings warmth to the porch all by itself, and the small imperfections make new seasonal plants feel as though they have always belonged there.
15. Build a Tiered Harvest Display on the Steps
Porch steps provide natural levels for decorating, and I like using them to create a gentle path toward the door. I place the tallest planted container on the upper step, a medium pot one level below, and a cluster of small pumpkins on the lowest step. Rather than mirroring the arrangement on both sides, I often decorate only the wider side of the staircase. This leaves the walking route clear and gives the porch a more relaxed look.
The containers should feel connected, but they do not have to match. I might repeat the same golden mum in two pots while changing the surrounding foliage, or use three different plants in containers that share a similar material. I step back frequently while arranging because displays on stairs can look crowded much faster than they do at ground level. I also test the path while carrying something bulky, since Thanksgiving guests may arrive with bags, serving dishes, or children in tow. Beauty matters, but easy, safe access matters more.
16. Fill a Window Box with Harvest Texture
A front porch window box is an ideal place to carry Thanksgiving color across the house instead of concentrating everything beside the door. I start with a base of trailing ivy or evergreen foliage, then insert ornamental kale, small mums, and fine-textured grasses. Short branches or wheat stems add height, while miniature pumpkins tucked between the plants create a harvest detail that can be seen from the walkway.
Because window boxes are exposed and contain less soil than large pots, they can dry out or freeze more quickly. I check them regularly, particularly after windy weather. I also secure pumpkins and light decorative pieces so they cannot fall onto the porch or blow into the yard. I like the arrangement to look full but not so dense that the window itself disappears. When viewed from inside, the grasses and leaves frame the lower edge of the glass, making the seasonal display enjoyable from both sides.
17. Create a Woodland Pot with Moss, Ferns, and Pinecones
For a porch that receives more shade, I like a woodland-inspired planter rather than forcing sun-loving mums into a spot where they struggle. I use ferns or other shade-suited foliage already appropriate for my climate, then layer moss, bark, pinecones, and bare twigs around them. A few small cream or muted green pumpkins keep the display connected to Thanksgiving without interrupting the quiet, natural palette.
This idea works best when the materials look gathered rather than arranged in strict rings. I nestle pinecones into the moss, allow a branch to lean slightly, and leave some soil or bark visible. I also make sure decorative moss is not packed so tightly that water cannot reach the roots. The finished pot feels like a small piece of the woods brought to the porch. It is particularly beautiful near a dark front door, stone wall, or cedar siding, where the subtle textures stand out more than bright flowers would.
18. Repurpose a Wooden Barrel as a Harvest Container
A half-barrel planter has enough visual weight to anchor a large porch or broad set of steps. I like using one when smaller containers seem lost against the scale of the house. Because the barrel is deep, I do not fill the entire thing with expensive potting mix if the plants have shallow root systems. I use an appropriate lightweight filler beneath the soil while preserving adequate drainage, then arrange a tall grass in the back, mums or kale in the middle, and trailing foliage at the edge.
The broad rim gives me space to place a few pumpkins without pressing them into the plants. I keep the selection restrained—perhaps one large green pumpkin and two small cream ones—so the barrel still reads as a planter rather than a pumpkin bin. Large containers generally hold moisture longer than small ones, but I still check the soil and drainage. The finished barrel feels generous and substantial, making it a natural choice for a farmhouse, cottage, or rustic Thanksgiving porch.
19. Add Personalized Harvest Tags to the Pots
Sometimes the smallest detail makes a porch feel especially welcoming. I like attaching a simple wooden or metal tag to one planter with a short handwritten message such as “Welcome,” “Gather,” or the family name. I keep the lettering limited to one tag rather than placing signs in every container. The goal is to add personality, not turn the porch into a collection of slogans.
I tie the tag with jute, velvet ribbon, or a narrow strip of linen, choosing a material already used elsewhere in the display. Because paper labels do not last long outdoors, I use sealed wood, metal, or another weather-resistant surface. I also position the tag where it will not scrape against delicate foliage in the wind. This detail is particularly sweet near Thanksgiving because it greets guests directly, yet it remains subtle enough to work with natural pumpkins, grasses, and foliage.
20. Make a Transitional Thanksgiving-to-Winter Planter
By late November, I do not want to rebuild every porch pot from the beginning a week later. My favorite solution is creating a planter that can transition easily into winter. I begin with a strong structure of evergreen branches, bare twigs, and ornamental grass. For Thanksgiving, I add wheat, bronze leaves, seed pods, and a few small pumpkins. The arrangement still looks autumnal, but the evergreen base is already in place.
After Thanksgiving, I remove the pumpkins and any tired leaves, then replace them with pinecones, winter berries, or a simple ribbon. The planter changes seasons without losing its shape. This approach saves time and money, but it also keeps the porch from looking suddenly empty after the holiday. I especially appreciate it during busy years when decorating needs to fit around cooking, guests, work, and family plans. A good seasonal container should make life feel more beautiful, not become another exhausting obligation.
How I Keep Thanksgiving Porch Planters Looking Fresh
The most beautiful porch planter can begin looking tired if I forget the practical details. I start by making sure every container has drainage holes and that those holes are not blocked by leaves, plastic liners, or decorative moss. I use potting mix intended for containers rather than digging heavy soil directly from the garden. Good drainage is especially important for kale, cabbage, mustard, and other cool-season plants, which need moisture but do not benefit from sitting in waterlogged soil.
I also check the soil with my finger rather than watering according to a rigid schedule. Windy days and sheltered porches can create very different conditions even when the temperature is the same. I remove faded flowers, damaged leaves, and soft pumpkins before they affect the rest of the display. These small maintenance habits take only a few minutes, yet they keep the entrance looking cared for through Thanksgiving weekend.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best plants for Thanksgiving porch planters?
The best choices depend on the climate, sunlight, and how exposed the porch is, but I usually look for cool-season plants with strong foliage and texture. Ornamental kale and cabbage, pansies, coral bells, mums, evergreen branches, and ornamental grasses are all useful possibilities. Flowering kale and cabbage are especially attractive because their colorful foliage suits late fall and may become more vivid as temperatures cool.
I do not choose plants by appearance alone. I check the plant label for light requirements, mature size, and cold tolerance, then think about the porch conditions. A sunny uncovered step may need a different plant than a shaded doorway protected by a roof. Choosing plants for the actual location saves me from constantly replacing wilted or struggling containers.
How do I decorate porch pots without making them look cluttered?
I follow a simple rule: one main plant or focal point, one supporting texture, and one or two seasonal accents. For example, I might use a mum as the focal point, grass as the vertical texture, and two small pumpkins near the base. That is usually enough. When I add every autumn item I own to one pot, none of them gets the attention it deserves.
I also leave visible space between objects. A glimpse of soil, moss, pot rim, or foliage gives the eye somewhere to rest. Repeating colors instead of repeating objects is another useful trick. A rust-colored flower, copper ribbon, and bronze lantern can feel connected without requiring three identical pumpkins or matching signs.
How can I stop pumpkins from rotting on my porch?
I begin by choosing pumpkins with firm skin, intact stems, and no soft areas. Pumpkins store best under cool, dry conditions, although a porch will naturally expose them to more variable moisture and temperature than ideal indoor storage. I keep them out of standing water, lift them occasionally to inspect the underside, and remove any fruit that starts becoming soft.
I also avoid setting pumpkins directly on wet soil inside a planter. A flat stone, small saucer, or discreet riser creates separation and makes watering easier. A covered porch usually protects pumpkins better than an open step exposed to repeated rain. Even with care, real pumpkins are temporary natural decorations, so I accept that some will last longer than others.
Can I use artificial plants in Thanksgiving porch pots?
Artificial foliage can be practical in harsh climates or on porches where living plants receive no useful light. I prefer using it selectively, mixing one or two good-quality artificial stems with real branches, pinecones, pumpkins, and dried grasses. Natural materials help soften the uniform appearance that artificial pieces sometimes have.
I avoid shiny plastic leaves, perfectly identical stems, and colors that are much brighter than anything found outdoors in November. A muted, slightly irregular arrangement usually looks more believable. I also secure artificial stems firmly because lightweight pieces can become a problem in strong wind.
How many planters should I put on my front porch?
The right number depends on the size and shape of the entrance. A small porch may need only one generous container and a lantern, while a wide farmhouse porch can support several grouped pots. I pay more attention to scale than quantity. One substantial arrangement usually looks better than five tiny containers scattered without connection.
I always preserve a comfortable walking path. The door needs to open fully, railings should remain reachable, and steps should not feel narrow. Before I finish, I walk up to the door carrying a large bag. If I have to turn sideways or watch every step, I remove something.
Should Thanksgiving porch planters match on both sides of the door?
They can match, but they do not have to. Symmetrical planters give a formal, balanced appearance and work beautifully with traditional architecture. I might use identical urns but vary the pumpkin placement slightly so the result does not feel rigid.
Asymmetrical arrangements often feel more relaxed. One side can hold a tall branch-filled urn, while the other has a lower group of pumpkins, lanterns, and a planted crock. The visual weight should still feel balanced even when the objects differ. I step back to the walkway and look at the whole entrance rather than judging each side separately.
What colors work best for harvest porch décor?
Traditional orange, rust, red, and gold always feel appropriate, but they are not the only choices. I love mixing ochre with burgundy, cream with sage green, or copper with deep plum. Muted colors often feel richer and more natural than an arrangement built from equally bright shades.
I use the house exterior as my starting point. Cream and green look beautiful against red brick, while rust and mustard warm up gray siding. A dark front door can support pale pumpkins and silvery foliage, whereas a colorful door may need quieter neutral planters.
How early can I decorate my porch for Thanksgiving?
I usually begin with general harvest décor in early or mid-autumn, then edit it as Thanksgiving approaches. Halloween-specific items come down, but mums, pumpkins, grasses, kale, and natural branches remain. I add subtler Thanksgiving details such as wheat, lanterns, baskets, or a simple welcome tag.
This gradual approach keeps me from starting over several times during the season. By Thanksgiving week, I am refreshing existing arrangements rather than buying an entirely new set of decorations. I remove anything faded, clean the pots, and add a few fresh pumpkins or evergreen branches where needed.
Can I create attractive porch pots on a small budget?
Absolutely. I spend money on one healthy focal plant, then build around it with materials I already have. Branches, pinecones, seed heads, baskets, old crocks, terracotta pots, and leftover ribbon can all become part of the display. I also reuse containers from season to season instead of buying themed pots.
Another budget-friendly approach is to create one strong arrangement rather than several weak ones. A single large mum in an existing pot, surrounded by three carefully chosen pumpkins, can look much more impressive than a porch crowded with inexpensive decorations. Restraint often makes the result feel more polished.
Final Thoughts
Thanksgiving porch decorating has become one of my favorite seasonal rituals because it encourages me to work with what is already beautiful about late autumn. Faded grasses, cool-weather foliage, weathered clay, ribbed pumpkins, bare branches, and warm porch light do not need much help from me. My job is simply to bring those pieces together in a way that makes the entrance feel cared for and welcoming.
I have also learned that a memorable porch does not require perfect matching containers or expensive decorations. Some of my favorite displays have started with an old basket, a leftover mum, and branches collected after a windy afternoon. What made them special was the attention given to scale, texture, color, and placement—not the price of the materials.
As I arrange the pots, I think about how the porch will actually be used. Guests need room to carry dishes, children need safe steps, and the front door needs to open without knocking into a planter. Keeping the entrance functional makes the beauty feel effortless rather than inconvenient. That practical consideration is part of good decorating, even though it rarely appears in the finished photographs.
Most of all, I want my Thanksgiving porch to offer a small preview of the feeling inside the house. It should say that there is a warm meal coming, a chair available, and room at the table. Whether I create that welcome with one pot of golden mums or an entire layered harvest display, the intention matters more than the number of decorations. When the porch feels generous, natural, and genuinely lived in, it has already captured the heart of Thanksgiving.
