Ranking Every Thanksgiving Episode Of "Modern Family" By How Much It Fed My Soul

Solid sitcom holiday episodes are few and far between, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving. Friends managed to nail a few trifling Turkey Day tales, and no true fan could forget HIMYM's Slapsgiving stories. But Modern Family is one series that consistently cooked up delicious Thanksgiving episodes.

So, in honor of Hennifer the Chicken and Mr. Goat (two fallen Thanksgiving episode soldiers), here's my ranking of Modern Family's Thanksgiving episodes, from tasty to downright delectable.

Honorable mention: “Did the Chicken Cross the Road?” (Season 10, Episode 7)

6.“Punkin Chunkin” (Season 3, Episode 9)

the whole family gathers around the giant slingshot to throw the pumpkin

5.“Thanksgiving Jamboree” (Season 8, Episode 7)

Claire points her mason jar of wine at Mitchell, who's dressed like a farm hand

4.“The Last Thanksgiving” (Season 11, Episode 7)

3.“Three Turkeys” (Season 6, Episode 8)

2.“Phil’s Sexy, Sexy House” (Season 7, Episode 7)

Haley and Andy sit on the couch wearing robes and try to turn off the romantic mood lighting

1.“Winner Winner Turkey Dinner” (Season 9, Episode 7)

Forever missing you, Modern Family! Especially around this time of year... BUT every episode is available to stream on Peacock.
