Days until Thanksgiving
Live countdown to US Thanksgiving — the fourth Thursday of November. Exact days, hours, and minutes remaining.
When is Thanksgiving?
US Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year — which means the exact date shifts between November 22nd and November 28th depending on the year. This tool calculates the correct date automatically using the fourth-Thursday rule.
Canadian Thanksgiving is different: it's the second Monday of October.
Planning the Thanksgiving meal
- 4 weeks out — order your turkey if buying fresh; book travel
- 2 weeks out — finalize guest list, plan the menu
- 1 week out — buy pantry staples and non-perishables
- 2 days out — start thawing the frozen turkey (24 hrs per 5 lbs)
- Day before — prep pies, sides, and brines
The shopping window
Thanksgiving kicks off the holiday shopping season — Black Friday follows the next day. If you're planning for both, the countdown to any date tool lets you track your Black Friday shopping deadline separately.
