Lorelei and Rory from Gilmore Girls

The Starks from Game of Thrones
Well, since it’s Thanksgiving and not a wedding, the death toll won't be quite as high. But it still won't hurt you to keep an eye on the North while you eat — all men must dine, after all!

The Downton Abbey family and their staff
Problem is...if the staff is sitting down to eat with you, who’s preparing the Thanksgiving feast? We’re all for Mrs. Patmore taking a well-earned break, but we don’t think it's wise leaving the potato dish up to the Ladies of the house.

The Johnsons from black-ish
For the quirkiest of Thanksgivings, there’s no better crew to roll with than Dre, Bow, and the rest of the Johnsons. Be sure to BYO on-point social and political commentary, if you want to keep up.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Scooby Gang
If you don’t mind having your big day plagued by disgruntled and deadly spirits, you’ll be just fine. Maybe keep a stake or two up your sleeve — literally! — and pick the seat next to Buffy, just to be on the safe side.

The Grey’s Anatomy doctors
Hey, if anyone chokes on turkey, at least you'll have a doctor on hand! Though, on second thought, judging by the survival rate of the Grey Sloan gang, maybe you're better off swinging by for dessert.

The teens from Riverdale
This could be your most exciting Thanksgiving yet with plenty of drama and maybe even a rogue murderer terrorizing the town during the celebrations. You'll definitely deserve a milkshake at Pop's by the end of the day.

The Big Little Lies moms
If the kids aren’t invited and the Sauvignon Blanc is flowing, we don’t imagine a Big Little Lies Thanksgiving celebration could go horribly wrong…or could it?
