When is Thanksgiving?
In the United States, Thanksgiving is held on the fourth Thursday of November, so it always falls between November 22 and November 28.
Unlike Christmas or Halloween, Thanksgiving doesn’t have a fixed date. Because it’s tied to the fourth Thursday of November, the date shifts every year, which is why it helps to check the table below when booking flights or planning the meal.
Canadian Thanksgiving is different: it’s celebrated on the second Monday of October. This countdown follows the US holiday.
