Grasshopper cocktails, either the ones made with cream or the ones made with ice cream; I am not picky.
The original Chex Mix recipe, which has Cheerios in it. In a pinch, I will simply melt butter in a bowl, pour some Cheerios in, and enjoy warm buttered Cheerios. If you sneer at that, ask yourself if you’ve ever had a bowl of buttered popcorn.

YUM!
I’ll add my weird stuff—basically I am stuck in an auberge in the 1970’s:
- Bavarois (an old French dessert of gelatin (!), whipped cream and custard, “inspired by Bavaria”)
- Coquille St Jacques, I mean it’s seafood with a cheese cream sauce served in a clamshell, why is everyone sneering and/or gagging
- Dry sherry in the tiny glass
- Grand marnier or a cognac after dinner
Also:
Eel. I love it and you’ll never tell me anything different
Ritz crackers with peanut butter and bacon as acceptable cocktail fare
ALL OF THE STREET FOOD
Avocado toast
Snickerdoodle cake cookies from Safeway
That was my grandmother’s post dinner drink every thanksgiving!
I am serving a complete retro cocktail hour on Thursday. Pigs in a blanket (crescent rolls, lil smokies, no homemade nonsense), ruffled chips with onion dip (store bought, no ina garten nonsense) and pub cheese with ritz! Can’t wait!

Strawberry pretzel salad. The kind make with jello and - i think? - cool whip. LOVE. This is a traditional family food and I (the hippie nerd salad eater of the family) intend to fall face first into a plate full on Thursday.

I don’t disagree that the boxed stuff is glorious but you need some of those little canned potato balls fried in butter till they are crispy brown next to them.
Thanksgiving is not about choosing between carbs. It’s about ALL the carbs.

Why do you have to choose? Stove Top + mashed potatoes is the entire point of Thanksgiving dinner IMO.

Deviled eggs, too. And pigs in a blanket.
Love all of these! And I also attempted a fancy version that took forever to make and the end result wasn't nearly as good.

Also saltines with pb and j with soup or paired with chili.
I second all the ruffles with onion dip. By Lipton you mean the soup pouch plus sour cream? So good
