Thanksgiving is a time for cherished traditions, like watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or enjoying "A Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving" with loved ones. Some families gather around the table to express gratitude and share a special family recipe.

However, there are moments when the idea of cooking a large meal can be daunting. In such cases, there are convenient options available. Several places are offering full Thanksgiving meals, including drinks and desserts. For a hassle-free celebration, consider ordering a full meal or just parts of your delicous meal so you can enjoy Thanksgiving Day.
