Paula Abdul, Lea Michele, and More Celebrate Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving might traditionally be an American holiday, but even our favorite Australian got in on the gratitude this year. On Thursday morning, our good mate Bluey appeared in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside several other celebrities, including Paula Abdul, Lea Michele, Jimmy Fallon, and Mariah Carey. Of course, not everyone was able to take to the streets to celebrate … but there’s always social media. Former president Barack Obama marked the holiday by posting some of his favorite dad jokes from turkey days past, while Catherine Zeta-Jones put together a slideshow of festive memories. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best moments and celebrations from this Thanksgiving season.
Lea Michele and the Funny Girl Cast

Paula Abdul

The Obamas
One of my favorite White House traditions was telling Thanksgiving jokes – which at least I thought were funny.

— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) November 24, 2022Has it really been that long since the Obamas were the First Family? Time really does fly … even if … sigh … turkeys don’t.

“Thanksgiving Grandma” Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton
Thanksgiving year 7! 🦃🖤 From year 1 as strangers, to year 7 as family but now BUSINESS PARTNERS! I’m very thankful for my family, friends, fans. Check out our website for our alkaline black water @ https://t.co/kkQK0pViKB special discount code: THANKSGIVING pic.twitter.com/xuZhuDgus6
— Jamal Hinton (@Jamalhinton12) November 25, 2022In case you somehow missed it, seven years ago, Wanda Dench texted the wrong number an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner. She didn’t take the offer back, ins she said grandmas “feed everyone.” Does the company she started with Jamal Hinton count as a family business?
Jimmy Fallon

Snoop Dogg

Mariah Carey

— Vulture (@vulture) November 24, 2022How gracious of Mariah Carey to allow Thanksgiving to have its moment before her reign begins. She might not legally have the title, but she is clearly the Queen of Christmas in NBC’s heart.
