With Canadian Thanksgiving coming up this Monday, October 14th, many are already planning how to take their family gathering to new heights and these Thanksgiving dinner innovations are sure to inspire. Featured examples range from niche and limited-edition food products to pop culture-inspired events like Warner Bros. Studios' recent Friendsgiving event that was inspired by an episode of cult sitcom Friends.
Standouts in the food and beverage realms include Boursin's new Apple Cinnamon cheese flavor, Pretzelmaker's pumpkin spice pretzel bites and a Glitter Cranberry Sauce from Firebox that aims to aesthetically enhance one's Thanksgiving meal while also boosting flavor.
Additional examples include Oliver Winery's Apple Pie Wine and Salt & Straw's Thanksgiving dinner ice cream that is the perfect dessert option after a hearty meal.
