Pilgrim Hat Cupcakes

If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, you have to make these vanilla cupcakes iced with buttercream and topped with pilgrim hats made from Reese’s and fudge cookies.

Pumpkin Cupcakes

Let’s be honest, the pumpkins are the only candy cane we like. So top spiced cupcakes with rich cream cheese frosting and pumpkin candy corn.

Chocolate Almond Acorn Cupcakes

Nutter Butter Turkey Cupcakes

Stuffing

Many people make stuffing days before Thanksgiving because it can be frozen and won’t lose flavor. Some people even claim that stuffing tastes better when it’s made ahead. Of course, you will freeze it without baking and bake it the day before or on Thanksgiving day.

Casserole

Any casserole can be made in advance, so make sure to use that to your advantage. Whether you make one a week ahead to freeze and bake on Thanksgiving day or make one from scratch the day before, know that it will reheat well and basically stay delicious no matter what you do.

Desserts

Although we don’t recommend making the desserts several days ahead, your totally fine making them the day before. Not only your cakes and pies will stay delicious for a few days, we doubt they will last that long anyway — because everybody loves dessert!

No Thanksgiving feast is complete without a bowl of mashed potatoes. However, you’re probably used to making them last minute, because you want them to stay warm and fluffy for dinner time. That’s probably the only problem we have with them — that we’re not able to make them upfront.

This year, we learned a trick from Justin Chapple who adds just a bit of mayo to mashed potatoes.

The secret behind this tip is that mayo won’t harden once you leave the mashed potatoes in the fridge. You still need butter, but you will replace a part of it with mayonnaise you probably have in the fridge anyway. We have a feeling this is going to be the most delicious Thanksgiving ever!

If you’re curious about this recipe, you can watch Chapple preparing it in the video below.

Here are four wildly popular and traditional pies that you’ll find on Thanksgiving tables every year.

Apple Pie

Apple pie is a Thanksgiving favorite that combines crust with an apple filling that includes sliced apples (usually green), cinnamon, and sugar. It’s even more delicious when topped with vanilla ice cream.

Sweet Potato Pie

If you find yourself in the south of the United States, there are some largely regional pies that are absolutely worth trying. Sweet potato pie is an intriguing twist on pumpkin pie, replacing the traditional filling’s vegetable with this sweet tuber.

Pecan Pie

Another southern regional pie, this pecan version is unbelievably gooey and rich. You might not be able to eat a lot of it, but every bite that you’re able to have before becoming overwhelmed by the sweetness is to die for.

Pumpkin Pie

Well, if there’s one pie that’s emblematic of Thanksgiving above all the rest, it has to be pumpkin pie. This dessert, which is made with a filling that combines pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and eggs, among other ingredients, is a fall favorite.
