Fakesgiving is a celebration that has emerged in recent years, gaining popularity across the United States during the pandemic. Unlike Thanksgiving, Fakesgiving usually involves a more casual vibe, less preparation and stress, and sometimes some fun twists on traditional Thanksgiving dishes, including non-traditional food or drink options. It’s a time to kick back with your loved ones, enjoy each other’s company, and give thanks for all the blessings in your life.

Whether you’re a seasoned host or a first-time attendee, Fakesgiving is a holiday that’s sure to impress and create lasting memories.  Since the day was developed because of the pandemic, you might include a virtual element.  Celebrate Fakesgiving!

HISTORY OF FAKESGIVING

Fakesgiving is a term coined by Gabriel McCracken in response to the pandemic and not being able to get together in large groups.    We’re suggesting you can create whatever you want today, since it’s fake, but the holiday was meant to be a way to celebrate Thanksgiving any time of the year.
