Thanksgiving songs are a great way to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving.

These songs will help you feel the spirit and get into the mood for celebrating this wonderful holiday. They’re also a good way to teach children about Thanksgiving and introduce them to some of the traditions and history behind it.

Musical Eagle presents the top 10 Thanksgiving Songs of all time

1. I Could Not Ask for More by Sara Evans

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the important things in life, including family and friends. These are the times, as Evans points out, that leaves us with lifelong memories.

2. Mashed Potato Time by Dee Dee Sharp

The 1962 single “Mashed Potato Time” was written by Brian Holland, Daniel Rey, Dee Dee King, Freddy Gorman, Georgia Dobbins, Kal Mann, Robert Bateman, and William Garrett. Dee Dee Sharp sang the song on her first album It’s Mashed Potato Time with backup vocals provided by The Orlons. The Mashed Potato dance style, which was popular at the time, is mentioned in the song.

3. Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Thanks to Sharpe’s hit “Home,” which was a regular staple on the airwaves, you couldn’t travel anyplace in 2009 without becoming homesick. As soon as you’re able, get back to your loved ones while blasting this music.

4. Thank You by Dido

In one of her biggest singles, “Thank You,” Dido can’t help but grin. How love works is funny. Knowing that you have someone waiting for you on the other side, whether it’s a love partner or your family, helps even the worst situations seem less horrible.

5. It’s Thanksgiving by Nicole Westbrook

We will always be thankful to Westbrook for the Europop Thanksgiving crossover. You have been warned that this is a song that will play over and over in your brain.

6. Happy by Pharrell

To get in the mood to celebrate, you occasionally need to play the proper song. Pharrell’s song “Happy” is an outright exhortation to begin relishing life.

7. Family Reunion by the O’Jays

Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to reflect on our own lives as well as the state of the globe. The O’Jays are aware that it is simple to become rapidly engulfed in chaos and forget to stop and think. Let’s take all the time we require this Thanksgiving to unpack in the warmth of people who help us feel seen and heard.

8. Thankful by Josh Groban

Another Thanksgiving song may be found here, thanks to Josh Groban. In his wonderful song lyrics, he talks about seeking out the truth and light even on days when it’s difficult to be positive.

9. Home by Phillip Phillips

It’s not difficult to understand why “Home” became the American Idol winner’s best-selling track. The season 11 winner Phillips sings about holding onto optimism despite the unknown future. This will undoubtedly be played often when we reunite with relatives.

10. Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande

In this pop song, Grande hums, “I’m so thankful for my ex.” We learn through sorrow in order to emerge as better individuals on the other side, which is not the typical line you may hear around the dinner table.
