This coming weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and families everywhere will be coming together to celebrate family, friends and togetherness. As I have posted before this is one of my favorite holidays and I’m looking forward to all the pumpkin pie and turkey that I can devour in one sitting and the sleep that will come shortly after. Oh and of course spending time with my amazing family (did you really think I would forget them??).
So from my family to yours, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my Canadian readers! I hope you have a wonderful long weekend.
Lastly before we close this post I also want to say THANK YOU to ALL my readers for being such incredibly wonderful fans of my blog. I would not be here if it was not for all of you and I’m very grateful for your loyalty to this little hobby of mine. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

This weekend (well Monday if you want to be exact) is Canadian Thanksgiving and I love this holiday. I’m going home to see the family and going to stuff my face with tons of yummy goodies. I can’t wait.
For today’s post I have gathered up vintage ads with helpful tips and ideas on how to have the “perfect” Thanksgiving dinner. I have used the word “Perfect” in quotes because I’m not sure if that is actually possible for any sort of dinner BUT lets give it a try anyways.

Vintage Thanksgiving Recipes & Dinner Ideas
Lets start off with a 1956 Thanksgiving Dinner Menu idea

The Thanksgiving Turkey
Foil Roasted Turkey will ensure you have the perfect turkey every time.
Note: I can’t be positive on this as I don’t cook but the ad sure makes it look like it does.
I think that a “Guaranteed” Turkey means that your dinner will be…”Perfect”.

The Thanskgiving Sides
Stuffing…Mandatory, and this ad gives you many different kinds to try (not sure how I feel about “Oyster Stuffing” though).

Did you purchase too many Cranberries? Well don’t fret Ocean Spray has you covered.
Kids can help as well with the trimmings for Thanksgiving.

The Drinks
Of course Coca Cola must be served at dinner. No recipe needed for this task.

Maybe your more in the mood for a beer because “Beer Belongs”.

Whisky also has a place at the Thanksgiving table.
