Friendsgiving Brunch

Friendsgiving brunch is the perfect way to spice up a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. 

Instead of traditional thanksgiving food items, you can host a fancy brunch with tasty brunch staples. Such as french toast, mimosas, fruit salads, bacon, and eggs.

To add a little bit of spice to the brunch menu, take inspiration from the fall season and curate a fall themed menu.

For example:

  • Apple cider mimosas
  • French toast casserole
  • Frittatas
  • Brown butter and cinnamon pancakes
  • Fruit salad with in season fruits ( dried cranberries, apples, grapes, pomegranate seeds, etc.)

Friendsgiving Paint and Sip

Get your friends creative juices flowing with a fun and relaxing paint and sip party.

You can paint anything from pumpkins to fall/thanksgiving themed pre-drawn canvases. While sipping on a refreshing drink, enjoying delicious snacks, laughing, and creating art that can be treasured for years to come.

This isn’t just any ordinary painting party but rather a celebration of gratitude, friendship, and creativity.

So, gather your painting supplies, invite your friends over and let the fun begin!
