    All the “Friends” Thanksgiving Episodes

    friends pop up event

    For your holiday week enjoyment, here are all the “Friends” Thanksgiving episodes. Ok, truth be told, I’m writing this post to remind myself which episodes to watch.

    So no one told you life was gonna be this way. (clap, clap, clap, clap)

    You see, last year, on Thanksgiving night, stuck inside from bad air quality from the California wildfires, we flipped on a random thanksgiving episode of Friends. Then of course, we had to watch another, and another.

    And suddenly, we had binge-watched the entire line-up of Thanksgiving themed Friends episodes. And I didn’t regret a single second of it. Laughing, giggling, feeling like all you need to do is plop on the couch and laugh with family and snuggle with kittens is one of my happy places.

    Oh, and of course I included the one with Ross’s sandwich in this list as well. I mean, it’s a crucial part of the Thanksgiving spirit.

    What’s my favorite Friends Thanksgiving episode?

    I would absolutely tell you my favorite, but truly, I don’t have one. They are all so good and funny and if you can’t spend the holidays with your own big family, or your own big set of Friends, or just wish you had a big set of Friends like this crew, these episodes really bring some love and laughter and vintage 90’s style into your holiday.

    One of my fave Friends episodes…

    But I will say that one of my fave Friends episodes: the one with Ross and the leather pants. Watch it. It’s actually called “The One with all the Resolutions” season 5, episode 11.

    Friends Quiz

    Oh, and if you want even more lazy-holiday activities: check out this which character are you from Friends quiz.. Although I will warn you, it may not be (gasp) terribly accurate. I got “Emma” aka Rachel’s baby. So not sure what that means. I always thought I was a Monica with a side of Rachel and the veggie-eating ways of Phoebe.

    I’ll be there for you.

    I hope you have a cozy, stress-free, delicious Thanksgiving holiday!
