Thanksgiving is a time to gather, reflect, and savor a delicious meal with loved ones. But with all the excitement, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the preparation—especially with the holiday just 2 weeks away! That’s where a Thanksgiving checklist comes in handy. Here’s how to create one that will keep your celebration stress-free and enjoyable.

1. Plan the Menu

Start with your meal plan. Whether it’s a classic turkey dinner or a modern twist, list each dish you’ll be serving. Don’t forget appetizers, sides, and desserts. This helps you organize your grocery list and ensures nothing gets left out.

2. Shop Smart

Write out your grocery list based on your menu, and categorize items by sections of the store (produce, dairy, bakery, etc.). This makes shopping a breeze and helps you avoid multiple trips to the store.

3. Prep in Advance

Plan out tasks you can tackle early. Chopping veggies, baking pies, or setting the table the night before can save you time and reduce stress on the big day.

4. Organize Your Cooking Timeline

Consider the cooking times of each dish and create a timeline for when to start cooking. This ensures everything is ready at the same time, so you can enjoy the meal hot and fresh.

5. Add Personal Touches

Include a section for decorating ideas or activities like sharing what you’re thankful for. These little touches make the day memorable for everyone.

With a checklist in hand, you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the holiday with family and friends! 🦃🍂
