What Is Thanksgiving and When Is It Celebrated?

In 2026, Thanksgiving is celebrated on November 26. It falls on the fourth Thursday of the last month of fall. Thanksgiving is also known as a harvest festival. In 1621, 53 English Pilgrims and 90 members of the Wampanoag tribe gathered for a meal in Plymouth Colony. This was a celebration of the first harvest, made possible with the help of Native Americans.

In 1863, Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the United States during Abraham Lincoln's presidency. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated with a family dinner featuring turkey as the traditional main dish. The holiday is also celebrated separately with friends, a gathering known as Friendsgiving.

Thanksgiving Flowers: Gift-Giving Traditions and Etiquette

Giving floral bouquets is a common Thanksgiving tradition. Who receives Thanksgiving bouquets, and why?

• Hostess (Thanksgiving dinner host). Choose Thanksgiving flowers arranged in a vase. You can also order an arrangement the day before. This is convenient because the hostess won't have to look for a vase and take time away from preparing dinner.

• Mother, grandmother, and other close relatives. Unfortunately, it's not always possible to visit loved ones on the holiday. However, with MyPeonika in Miami, you can send Thanksgiving flowers directly to their homes.

• Coworkers and clients. Flowers are a wonderful way to express gratitude for working together.

• Friends. A Thanksgiving bouquet is a thoughtful gift for a Friendsgiving celebration.

A fresh arrangement from MyPeonika will create a special holiday atmosphere and help express your feelings beautifully.

Thanksgiving Table Floral Arrangements: How to Decorate Your Holiday Table

Traditional floral arrangements are ideal for decorating a festive table. Follow these guidelines:

• The centerpiece should not exceed 12 inches (30 cm) in height. Guests should be able to see one another across the table.

• Choose flowers with a mild fragrance when placing them near food. Avoid lilies and tuberoses because they have strong scents.

• Avoid blooms that shed large amounts of pollen.

• For a long table, choose an elongated, narrow arrangement or 2–3 low arrangements. Place small bouquets along the edges of the table.

• Position candles below the level of the leaves. Use safe candleholders.

Following these guidelines will help you decorate your holiday table beautifully and conveniently.

How to Keep Thanksgiving Flowers Fresh

Follow a few simple guidelines to help your Thanksgiving bouquet reveal its full beauty and stay fresh. Here's what you should do:

FAQ

1. Which Flowers Are Best for Thanksgiving?

Roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, and gerbera daisies are commonly given on Thanksgiving. Warm, sunny colors associated with fall, the harvest, and fertility are preferred. Popular shades include orange, red, terracotta, peach, and burgundy. These colors can be beautifully combined.

2. Is It Appropriate to Bring Flowers to Thanksgiving Dinner?

Yes. However, try to give a bouquet that's already arranged in a vase, flower box, or basket. It's also a good idea to send flowers the day before the holiday. This way, you'll create a pleasant surprise without distracting the hostess from preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
