Thanksgiving

We all know Thanksgiving as the quintessential American holiday, bringing together families, as well as communities while getting us really full of great food. And at New Orleans Mom, our writers, editors, and content creators find those unique Big Easy takes on Thanksgiving. 

Like all holidays, New Orleans brings its own brand of excitement, celebration, and generosity to Thanksgiving. And New Orleans Mom serves as a resource for Moms, covering everything from the food to the traditions to your holiday mental health. Our look at the Thanksgiving dinner table includes some family specialties, like Big Easy classic Cajun Seafood Gumbo, along with tried and true favorites, like the best way to make macaroni and cheese.

Our creative writers keep their Fall holiday content fun, and we know that after all that hard work getting ready for Thanksgiving, many of us want to unwind with drinks like Apple Cider Mimosa and Pumpkin Spice Moscow Mule. We even take on what may be the most exciting part of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend: Black Friday.  Plus, our guide to New Orleans’ Fall family activities covers all of the Thanksgiving festivities, so you can make the most of all our beautiful area has to offer during the holidays. 

New Orleans Mom knows that Thanksgiving can be a tough holiday for Moms. Sometimes Moms can’t do it all on their own and with the many delicious Thanksgiving catering options in the Crescent City, they shouldn’t have to. Just as importantly, our writers also find ways to celebrate the holidays by giving back to the Big Easy, making the holiday as much of a community event as a family gathering. 

Of course, our writers are known for keeping tabs on what’s happening In and Around New Orleans, and the surrounding area, including the West Bank, Metairie, Kenner, and the Northshore. So before you celebrate this year, check New Orleans Mom for all the tips, ideas, news, and reviews that will help any Mom make Thanksgiving memorable.
