Best Thanksgiving movies you need to watch on Netflix

Holidate

The romantic comedy Holidate is a Netflix original film that covers a multitude of holidays, including Thanksgiving.

Sloane (Emma Roberts) hates the holidays due to the judging she comes under from her family at each holiday dinner she attends sans date. Jackson (Luke Bracey) spends his holiday with a woman he really has no interest in. The two fight and ends up leaving the festivities, single.

When Sloane and Jackson meet, they discover they both hate the holidays for the same reason. When Sloane shares her aunt’s strategy to avoid family members’ judgment, the pair decides to follow suit. Aunt Susan brings a new date to each gathering and calls them her “holidates.”  Sloane and Jackson agree to spend holidays together only to avoid the usual family awkwardness.

Free Birds

The animated science-fiction comedy, Free Birds, was originally released in 2013. This film follows two turkeys who travel back in time to alter their species from becoming the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
