Basic Trope: An episode which focuses on Thanksgiving.

- Technically it's not but for some reason, they're celebrating Thanksgiving early.
- She got the date wrong.
- Parodied: The episode has the "the family is arguing on Thanksgiving" plot, but the argument is solely between Alice and the others on whether they should have a turkey.
