By Hannah Hutchison Thanksgiving traditions have expanded among millennials. The term “Friendsgiving” was created by merging friends and Thanksgiving into one feast. The term has been used across all generations but has been primarily used by college students. Many college students replicate a second or pre-Thanksgiving dinner by participating in Friendsgiving with their housemates and close friends before they leave for Thanksgiving break. Friendsgiving “started coming into national prominence in 2011 when Bailey's Irish Cream used the word in an ad campaign and it became a plot point in The Real Housewives of New Jersey (the episode was, appropriately enough, called ‘Gobblefellas’),” according to Meriam Webster. While most Thanksgiving dinners are focused on turkey and mashed potatoes, some Friendsgiving dinners venture into other food groups and origins. Many Friendsgiving dinners are known for making different proteins such as ham, chicken, or steak; and the sides can range from pasta to fruit trays. This creates diversity in the food palette during the Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving focuses on bringing family and loved ones together to celebrate each other. Friendsgiving does the same thing with dear friends. Friendsgiving is a relatively new term in society, but we expect to see it grow and evolve into a national tradition surrounding the Thanksgiving festivities.
