Well, the truth is that we don’t have a staple song or a particular sound when it comes to Thanksgiving music, unlike Christmas or Halloween. Still, we have several tunes about food, family, and gratitude that perfectly match the occasion!
So whether you are doing a big or a small celebration, here’s our updated Thanksgiving playlist that will cheer you up and create the perfect Thanksgiving setting and perhaps give you some inspiration to add some of your favorite tunes to the playlist for a perfect Thanksgiving celebration! Last year we shared our original playlist for Thanksgiving, but we thought we would add a few more songs to the list this year and make it extra special. Enjoy!
