Thanksgiving 2020: How Celebrities are Celebrating Turkey Day This Year

Thanksgiving 2020 may feel a bit different as COVID-19 has forced many to spend the holidays away from loved ones to reduce the spread of the virus, but a lot of celebrities—including Chrissy Teigen and Kerry Washington—are still celebrating Turkey Day with plenty of love, gratitude…and of course, food. Meanwhile, others, like Gigi Hadid, are using the holidays to raise awareness.

Like the rest of us, it seems celebs are making the best of this unprecedented situation this year. Here's how all the biggest stars are spending Thanksgiving 2020.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

Teigen told People that she and John Legend are “downsizing a little bit” this holiday season and plan to make this year's Thanksgiving celebrations about “enjoying time with family.”

“I just don't have it in me! I've been doing this for 10 years with John and his family now, and I think I've gotten a little tired of just seeing so much food go to waste. I go way too hard with way too many sides,” the Cravings cookbook author explained. “We're just going to do the staples, and it's going to be beautiful and we're going to watch football.”

“We're making it much more about enjoying the time with [family],” Teigen continued. “I don't want to wake up at four in the morning the entire week anymore to get [the meal] done. I want to enjoy the meal with my family while they're enjoying it.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, along with their 19-month-old son Archie, will reportedly be celebrating their first U.S. Thanksgiving at their new home in Montecito, California. According to People, the royal couple will be joined by the duchess's mother, Doria Ragland.

“They are going to have a quiet dinner at home and are looking forward to celebrating their first American Thanksgiving in the States as a family,” an insider told Harper's Bazaar. “They plan to enjoy a home-cooked meal with traditional Thanksgiving dishes, including recipes made with fresh vegetables from their garden.”

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid, who recently shared new photos with her daughter, posted Instagram Stories of her preparing Thanksgiving dessert for her family—and it's looking good!

However, she also used her platform to remind her followers “that American land was taken from the Indigenous Peoples.”

“Happy Thanksgiving,” the new mom wrote via Twitter on November 26. “Be grateful today and everyday. Also remember that American land was taken from the Indigenous Peoples. Honor them today through acknowledgment and education of that genocide.”
