If you are among the lucky ones, Thanksgiving means amazing food, quality time with family and friends and reflecting on all you have to be grateful for. It’s certainly an occasion for appreciating the best things in life and that can also include some great music.
Unlike Christmas, though, Thanksgiving doesn't have a long list of designated tunes. There are few Thanksgiving songs we return to year after year, but there are actually quite a few great songs associated with the holiday that many people tend to forget about. That's why we made the following list!
If you’re trying to set right the vibes for your Thanksgiving weekend, here’s a Thanksgiving playlist that's guaranteed to make everyone happy! You're welcome!
Enjoy!
