Tips And Tricks For Hosting Your First Thanksgiving

Hosting Thanksgiving for the first time can seem like an impossibly difficult task. It's one of your first big steps into the official world of "adulthood" and you need to make a great first impression.

If you want to prove to your friends and family that you're officially an adult (whatever that means), here are some essential tips and tricks for making your first Thanksgiving a breeze.

Plan a simple spread

While you might want to copy your mom's infamous sweet potato pie, try keeping the menu simple. People typically care about the Thanksgiving essentials: turkey, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. Relying on the basics will taste delicious without turning your kitchen into a battlefield.

If you're stressed about getting everything done on time, try to opt for foods that can be cooked and cooled ahead of time. Bake a pie the day before or re-roast your veggies to warm them up. You can also ask family members and friends to bring one dish each to take some of the load off.

Have a beautiful selection of beers and wines

Did you know that between 71 and 73% of Millennials regularly drink alcoholic beverages? As an adult, you have the opportunity to supply an array of beers, wines, and light cocktails for the occasion. One of the best parts about the holidays are all the festive beverages available; pumpkin beers, mulled wines, and fall-themed cocktails will impress your guests and serve as a conversation starter.

Let's be honest, Thanksgiving isn't complete without a football game blaring on the television and a good beer in hand. Don't be afraid to dress up your beer with branded beer koozies at your home bar. Luckily, our Budweiser cooler can also double as a storage site for your leftovers.

Get great games

If you're worried conversation won't be enough to placate your guests until dinner, don't hesitate to implement a number of games to entertain the masses.

Luckily, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor drinking accessories and games. Whether you're into board games, flip cup, beer pong, or darts, there are plenty of ways to get your family and friends moving on Thanksgiving.
