6 Unexpected Ways To Give Your Thanksgiving Traditions A Refresh

While there's plenty to love about Thanksgiving (No obligation to check email! Dinner at 3:30! Lots of encouraged napping!), the holiday can start to feel a little repetitive year after year: We wake up early to watch the parade, inevitably fight about politics with our extended relatives, then cap off the night counting down the hours until we blow our entire monthly budget on Black Friday sales. Fret not, though, because it's never too late to hit the refresh button on your Turkey Day celebration.

To inspire you to change up your tired traditions and make the most out of the day, we partnered with Amazon Fire TV to create a guide of easy and unexpected activities that'll make this Thanksgiving your most memorable yet — from giving your menu a full refresh to adding an exciting new component to your game-watching routine. Sure, there's no dodging your aunt's uncomfortable questions about your dating life, but rest assured, there's a way to make this year's celebration feel entirely brand-new.
