It’s time to do your best turkey trot.
Thanksgiving 2023 has arrived, and whether you’re doing an enormous family celebration or a more quiet affair, there’s plenty to look at on TV.
From streaming classic movies, to marathons, here’s your essential guide on what to look at.
“David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived”
This documentary is about David Holmes, a former stunt man on the “Harry Potter” movies who broke his neck and have become paralyzed in an accident. While that material sounds grim, Holmes’ resilience is ultimately inspiring, and the connection to “Harry Potter” makes it have broad appeal as a Thanksgiving look ahead to multiple generations. Daniel Radcliffe can be within the doc (and produces it).

“Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas”
The texture-good soccer comedy “Ted Lasso” was a success, so a vacation special involving star Hannah Waddingham must also be a crowd-pleasing watch. The musical event, now streaming, was recorded live in front of an audience on the London Coliseum, and can follow the Emmy-winning actress performing festive classics accompanied by a big band. She’s joined by a slew of special guests, including Sam Ryder, Luke Evans, Leslie Odom Jr. and her “Ted Lasso” co-star Phil Dunster.

“EXmas”
For those who desire a Christmas rom-com, it is a latest one. Starring Robbie Amell and Leighton Meester, it’s a couple of couple that broke up nearly a decade ago, but Ali (Meester) remains to be close with Graham’s (Amell) family. When Graham can’t make it home for the vacations, Ali accepts an invite to spend it together with his family, pondering that Graham doesn’t must know – but matters change into awkward when he unexpectedly makes it home.
