Brits Try Thanksgiving Dinner for the FIRST Time – Made from Scratch!

Thanksgiving is one of the most beloved holidays in the USA, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It’s a time for family, friends, gratitude, and, of course, incredible food. Traditionally, this holiday honors the historical harvest feasts shared by the Pilgrims and Native Americans, symbolizing unity and thankfulness. Today, it's all about gathering around the dinner table, indulging in classic dishes, and creating cherished memories.

In this video, Mr. H and Mrs. H take on the challenge of preparing a complete Thanksgiving meal from scratch – something they’ve never done before! This is a big deal for Brits like us, as Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated in the UK. We’re diving headfirst into this uniquely American tradition, and you’re coming along for the journey!

Here’s what’s on the menu for our very first Thanksgiving dinner:
A beautifully brined turkey – tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
Deviled eggs – a creamy and tangy appetizer that's a must-have.
Green bean casserole – the ultimate comforting side dish, topped with crispy onions.
Sweet potato casserole – creamy, sweet, and crowned with gooey marshmallows.
Creamed corn – rich, buttery, and oh-so-delicious.
Creamy mashed potato
Dressing and fresh bread rolls – because no Thanksgiving is complete without carbs!
Homemade cranberry sauce – sweet, tart, and the perfect companion to turkey.
Pecan pie with fresh whipped cream – a classic dessert that truly steals the show.

This meal isn’t just about the food – it’s about family. Joining us are Baby H, Mrs. H’s cousin Nadia, her husband Jim, and their lovely kids, Eli and Robin. Together, we’re experiencing the joy of cooking, tasting, and learning about the traditions behind each dish.

As Brits, this was a whole new cultural experience for us, and we’re so excited to share it with you! From the detailed prep work, like brining the turkey overnight, to trying dishes we’d never tasted before (hello, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows!), this was a day full of fun, laughter, and firsts.

Whether you’re looking for classic Thanksgiving recipes, interested in how non-Americans experience this iconic holiday, or just love watching families come together over good food, this video has something for everyone.
