一 | Thanksgiving on TV has always been about more than turkey. It’s about chaos, confession, found family, and the kind of emotional honesty that only emerges after the second helping of mashed potatoes. Over decades of sitcoms and dramas, certain shows carved out their place in the Thanksgiving Hall of Fame — shaping how we imagine the holiday, how we laugh at it, and sometimes, how we survive it.

Good. Meat? Gooooood.'' - Joey (Season 6) When it comes to Thanksgiving, Friends is the cultural blueprint. The series didn’t just give us one classic — it gave us an entire holiday anthology that still defines November television. The One with All the Thanksgivings” The turkey-on-the-head dance. Chandler’s accidental “I love you.” Monica’s knife mishap replay of doom. Pure sitcom perfection. “The One with the Football” The Geller Bowl becomes the primal scream of sibling rivalry, served with petty competitiveness and a trophy no one should care about this much — and yet they do. “The One Where Ross Got High” The ultimate truth-telling meltdown. Rachel’s half-shepherd’s-pie trifle. The Gellers discovering Chandler is not a drug addict but is their daughter’s boyfriend. A holiday confession avalanche for the ages. These episodes shaped the idea of what a sitcom Thanksgiving should be: messy, nostalgic, and endlessly rewatchable. 2. New Girl — Thanksgiving (Season 1) "Be honest. Is the turkey named Paul?” - Schmidt (Season 1) Few sitcoms understand found family quite like New Girl. In the show’s very first Thanksgiving episode, Jess attempts to cook a turkey, only to realize it is still frozen, rock-solid, and completely unroastable. Nick sulks, Schmidt micromanages, Winston contributes chaos, and Jess tries desperately to impress her crush, Paul. The result: smoke alarms, kitchen disasters, failed traditions, and one of the most charming holiday episodes of the 2010s. 3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine — Thanksgiving (Season 1) “Ugh. Why do we have to dress up for Thanksgiving. I don't even celebrate that stuff. The whole holiday is based on overeating. We should be wearing velvet track suits and diapers.” - Jake, Thanksgiving (Season 1) Jake Peralta hates Thanksgiving, Amy Santiago lives for it, and Captain Holt… quietly judges. Boyle becomes an overzealous Thanksgiving historian, Holt insists on academic decorum, and Amy nearly combusts while trying to impress her boss. It’s a warm reminder that families aren’t always inherited, sometimes they’re assembled in a precinct breakroom with burnt pies and questionable casseroles. 4. Peanuts — A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving “We've got ANOTHER holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us.” - Charlie Brown A timeless holiday ritual. Charlie Brown and the gang teach an essential Thanksgiving truth: dinner isn’t always perfect. Sometimes it’s toast, popcorn, and jellybeans served on a ping-pong table. But what matters is the gathering itself — and that Linus will always deliver a speech that makes the adults cry. Wholesome, gentle, iconic. 5. Modern Family — Three Turkeys “You had a second turkey?!” - Phil (Season 6) In this Season 6 comedic hurricane, everyone lies, everyone panics, and multiple turkeys get disastrously roasted — because Phil and Luke are secretly cooking the “backup turkey,” Jay and Gloria pretend they’re out of town, and Claire spirals into organisational madness. It’s Thanksgiving as Modern Family always portrayed life: messy overlapping storylines that still land in a warm, emotional center. 6. The Office — WUPHF.com “Hay Place romances never last.” - Dwight (Season 7) While The Office doesn’t have a traditional sit-down Thanksgiving episode, “WUPHF.com”, which aired as the show’s Thanksgiving week instalment, became the de facto holiday entry. Thematically, it is Thanksgiving: office “family” chaos, the impulse to rescue someone from their own terrible decisions, and a final emotional meal of sorts as the employees reckon with loyalty, truth, and growing up. Plus, Dwight runs a hay festival. If that’s not holiday energy, what is? 7. Gossip Girl — The Treasure of Serena Madre “And what am I most thankful for? The truth. Sometimes it’s the truth you’ve been trying not to face. Or the truth that will change your life. Sometimes it’s the truth that’s a long time coming......But the kind of truth I’m most thankful for? The one you never see coming. That falls right into your lap. XOXO..” - Gossip Girl (Season 3) The Upper East Side turns Thanksgiving into a battleground. Set to Jason Derulo’s “Whatcha Say,” secrets explode across the dinner table in one of the most iconic montage reveals in teen-drama history. Infidelity, betrayal, manipulation — all delivered with the operatic flair only Gossip Girl could muster. No one leaves the table unscarred. Thanksgiving, but make it couture and catastrophic. 8. Gilmore Girls — A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving “Rory what are we if not the world's champion eaters?”- Lorelai (Season 3) Lorelai and Rory accept four Thanksgiving invitations in one day: The Kims, Sookie and Jackson, Luke, and finally Emily and Richard. Deep-fried turkeys, angry vegetables, Korean karaoke, emotional awkwardness — this episode is the ultimate tribute to the chaos of trying to please everyone on a holiday designed to stretch families thin. And yet, the Gilmore warmth always shines. 9. The O.C. — The Homecoming (Thanksgiving Episode) “Yeah. Please. Hey, nothing says Thanksgiving like Moo Shu Pork.” - Seth (Season 1) Before it became famous for its Chrismukkah chaos, The O.C. delivered a surprisingly grounded Thanksgiving entry. Ryan returns to Chino to visit his family, Seth juggles holiday awkwardness with Anna and Summer, and the show balances coming-of-age tenderness with classic Cohen humor. It’s heartfelt, nostalgic, and a reminder that holidays often reconnect you with who you used to be — for better or worse. 10. How I Met Your Mother — Slapsgiving “So, as slap bet commissioner, I'm issuing a ruling. Thanksgiving is a day of peace, there will be no slaps today!” - Lily (Season 3) The crown jewel of HIMYM holiday episodes. Marshall’s “slap bet” with Barney culminates in a Thanksgiving countdown that mixes slapstick (literally) with big-hearted sentiment. Lily tries to run a picture-perfect dinner, Barney lives in perpetual slap fear, and Marshall delivers one of the funniest (and most anticipated) blows in sitcom history. It’s Thanksgiving chaos wrapped in a warm, sentimental punch.Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Responds to Sameer Wankhede, Says Satire and Fiction Can Co-exist。 서울 6대 가두상권 공실률 8.5%, 전년比 1.9%p↓외국인 카드 소비 50.8% 급증…명동 공실률 4.4%성수는 팝업서 대형 플래그십으로…우량 입지 경쟁 가열 쿠시먼앤드웨이크필드 제공. [파이낸셜뉴스] 서울 핵심 리테일 상권이 외국인 관광객 귀환을 계기로 빠르게 재편되고 있다. 명동이 외국인 소비 회복을 등에 업고 공실을 채우는 사이 성수에서는 단기 팝업스토어 대신 대형 플래그십이 들어서는 공간 재편이 본격화되는 모습이다. 26일 쿠시먼앤드웨이크필드 코리아의 '2026년 2분기 서울 리테일 마켓비트'에 따르면 서울 6대 주요 가두상권의 평균 공실률은 8.5%로 집계됐다. 전분기보다 0.3%포인트, 전년 동기보다 1.9%포인트 낮아졌다. 회복을 이끄는 핵심 동력은 외국인 소비다. 올 상반기 방한 외래관광객은 1071만명으로 반기 기준 역대 최대를 기록했다. 외국인 신용카드 소비액도 전년 동기보다 50.8% 급증했다. 특히 소비가 과거 면세점·단체 쇼핑에서 뷰티·패션·의료·웰니스 등 개별 관광객 중심의 체험형 소비로 이동하면서 가두상권이 직접적인 수혜를 받고 있다는 분석이다. 가장 빠르게 살아난 곳은 명동이다. 2분기 공실률은 4.4%로 전분기보다 1.2%포인트 떨어졌다. 다국어 서비스와 택스리펀을 앞세운 대형 약국과 뷰티 브랜드가 핵심 입지를 다시 채우고 있다. 장기간 부진했던 강남도 공실률이 12.8%로 여전히 높지만 전년 동기보다 6.1%포인트 개선됐다. 한남·이태원도 7.0%로 한 자릿수 공실률을 유지했다. 성수는 다른 형태의 변화가 진행 중이다. 공실률은 4.5%로 전분기보다 0.7%포인트 올랐지만 시장에서는 상권 침체보다 '공간 교체' 과정으로 보고 있다. 과거 브랜드의 반응을 시험하던 팝업 중심 상권에서 장기간 운영하는 대형 플래그십 집적지로 바뀌면서 임차 수요가 규모와 입지를 중심으로 재편되고 있어서다. 실제 명동의 라네즈와 유니클로, 강남의 데카트론, 성수의 올리브영 뷰티맨션에 이어 한남·청담에서도 글로벌 브랜드의 신규 출점이 이어질 예정이다. 서울 리테일 시장의 경쟁축도 단순히 공실을 채우는 단계에서 누가 핵심 공간을 선점하고 있는지로 옮겨가는 분위기다. 외국인 소비와 경험형 소비가 동시에 커지면서 주요 상권의 대형·우량 공간을 둘러싼 브랜드 경쟁도 한층 치열해질 전망이다. 윤화섭 쿠시먼앤드웨이크필드 코리아 리테일 임대총괄 상무는 "개별 관광객 중심의 소비 구조 변화와 고환율이 맞물려 외국인 소비력이 크게 향상됐다"며 "브랜드들도 핵심 랜드마크 자산을 확보해 브랜드 경험을 극대화하는 대형 플래그십 전략에 집중할 것"이라고 전했다. 리테일 업계 관계자는 "핵심 상권은 이제 공실을 얼마나 채웠느냐보다 어떤 브랜드가 얼마나 오래 머무느냐가 중요해지고 있다"며 "명동의 정상화와 성수·한남·청담의 플래그십 경쟁이 동시에 진행될 가능성이 크다"고 귀띔했다.。
