When Is Thanksgiving In 2020?

The same thing happens every year: you find yourself at the end of July starting to think about back-to-school supplies, then all of a sudden it's Labor Day, then Columbus Day, then Halloween, and before you know it, Thanksgiving and the holiday season have crept up on you out of nowhere.

But apparently, Americans have started thinking about Thanksgiving earlier than ever, according to a Google search trends report. And why shouldn't they? With the hoards of aunts, uncles, and grandparents that descend upon households during that week in November, planning ahead easily makes what could potentially be a very stressful few days worry-free.

In 2020, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, leaving you plenty of time to prepare for your best Thanksgiving yet. Start thinking about sweet potatoes, stuffing, and — of course — turkey, as you count down the days toward entering one of the biggest food comas of the year. 

Here at The Daily Meal, planning ahead is on the brain with our Guide to Thanksgiving, which outlines all the recipes, advice, and entertaining tips you could possibly need to prepare yourself far in advance. While thinking about fall holidays in this sweltering July heat may seem strange, you'll thank yourself later once you've hosted a stress-free Thanksgiving gathering. It's never too early to plan ahead.
