While Thanksgiving is traditionally a holiday to celebrate family, friends, and food, it’s also a day of great television. Back-to-back football games, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the dog show: No matter your interests, there’s something on TV for everyone. However, once dinner is over and the festivities have quieted down, you may be looking for something more familiar to watch. Luckily, Friends has 10 iconic Thanksgiving episodes for your viewing pleasure.
From Ross and Rachel’s first fight to the laugh-out-loud episode full of the gang’s worst Thanksgiving memories, the nostalgia is ideal for that sleepy time between feasting and Black Friday shopping. Even if you’re like Chandler and refuse to celebrate the American holiday, watching Friends is never a bad idea. Plus, you can ogle their New York apartments for hours on end.
If you’ve never seen an episode of the fan-favorite television show, these are actually great episodes to start with. You not only get a humorous introduction to the six main characters, but you also learn about their pasts and their relationship dynamics. Ahead, we’re highlighting each and every one of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes from season one all the way to season 10. Happy watching!
