Though we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving the way the Americans and the Canadians do, but for a few years now, here in Ukraine, we’ve also adopted a version of the holiday which we celebrate in September, not November. The holiday has a special positive energy that brings families together to cook a traditional meal and share their gratitude.
Movies often help to create a cozy relaxing atmosphere, and for that very reason, I made a list of movies to enjoy and share with loved ones.
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)
The Browns are preparing to go to their grandmother's for Thanksgiving dinner when Charlie Brown gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty who is alone for Thanksgiving and wants to come over for dinner. And together with their friends, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock, they attempt to throw a Thanksgiving party.
Claudia, a successful workaholic lawyer, desperately wants to be a partner of her firm and neglects her parents and siblings in the process. A mysterious woman uses magic to teach her the importance of family. Claudia gets dropped into an alternative reality to see what her life might have been like had she made different choices.
A Winnie the Pooh Thanksgiving (1998)
It's Thanksgiving and Winnie the Pooh and his
friends bring food for the feast - honey, acorns, lemonade, biscuits, thistles,
ice cream. But Rabbit tells them that they need a real feast with turkey,
cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie and sends them on a scavenger hunt to get
them.
Garfield's Thanksgiving (1989)
After losing her job, having an affair with her ex-boss, and finding out that her daughter has plans of her own for the holidays, Claudia Larson realizes that she may have to spend Thanksgiving with her crazy family.
Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade (2012)
Autumn Reeser, the organizer of Chicago's Thanksgiving parade is furious when a consultant, Antonio, is brought in to take charge of the event's finances, thinking he is only interested in profit. Faced with teaching him that the parade means so much more than money, she finds herself reluctantly falling for him.
On Thanksgiving day, four ethnically
diverse families gather for the traditional meal. Each family has its own
distinct way of cooking the traditional holiday meal and its own set of
problems. On the menu isn’t only different food
but also love, betrayal, sibling rivalry, prejudice, politics, uninvited guests, unexpected accidents, outrageous
conversations - and everything else that arises when modern families come
together for an annual meal.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
