What gives? Friends do! Especially when they’re invited to a Thanksgiving-adjacent celebration along with pals, mates, and amigos of all kinds. Aside from friends giving of their time when they attend such a shindig, it’s also customary for hosts to request that friends furnish some food. Although choosing which cuisine to contribute can seem challenging—it needn’t be. Just drop by your neighborhood Trader Joe’s to discover what’s being featured in your favorite food aisles!
But first… check your invitation. Then watch this video for inspiration. Finally, visit our store to pick up any apps, sides, desserts, and beverages you want to share with friends as you gather to give thanks for each other.
