San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, México.
While it is most famously celebrated in the United States, many other countries also observe the holiday, each with its unique traditions. In this blog, we'll explore what countries celebrate Thanksgiving, how different cultures celebrate Thanksgiving, and the best places to travel during Thanksgiving outside the U.S. for a memorable experience.
Thanksgiving in the United States originated in 1621 when the Pilgrims celebrated a three-day harvest feast with Native Americans in Plymouth Colony. Over the years, it has transformed into a national day of gratitude, where families and friends come together for traditional meals, watch NFL games, and participate in festive activities.
Popular traditions include enjoying a large feast with roasted turkey and stuffing, attending parades like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and volunteering to help those in need at shelters and soup kitchens.
Thanksgiving in Mexico is a relatively new holiday, officially recognized in 2019, although the tradition of giving thanks for the harvest has roots in pre-Hispanic times. Today, it is celebrated with family gatherings featuring traditional dishes like mole poblano and tamales. Many people also attend religious services to express gratitude, and some communities host harvest festivals with music, dancing, and food to celebrate the land's bounty. In resort destinations, Thanksgiving has also become a special occasion for travelers, with special menus, entertainment, and venues that add a unique touch to this day of gratitude.
