Thanksgiving Trivia

🦃 Thanksgiving Trivia Challenge

1. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted how many days?

A) 1 day
B) 3 days
C) 7 days

✔ Correct Answer: B) 3 days
The 1621 harvest celebration between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag was a three-day feast—which honestly sounds about right considering how long some of us spend cooking for just one meal today.

2. Which state produces the most turkeys in the U.S.?

A) Minnesota
B) Texas
C) California

✔ Correct Answer: A) Minnesota
Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production. So if your Thanksgiving bird came from the Midwest… you’re in good company.

3. About how many pumpkins are harvested in the U.S. each year?

A) 500 million
B) 1 billion
C) 200 million

✔ Correct Answer: A) 500 million
Roughly 500 million pumpkins are harvested annually—enough to keep every pumpkin-spice lover satisfied until next fall.

4. The first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade took place in which year?

A) 1924
B) 1935
C) 1910

✔ Correct Answer: A) 1924
The parade began in 1924 and originally included live animals from the Central Park Zoo. Balloons came a few years later — and thankfully, now the lions and tigers stay home.

5. What was the main ingredient in the first stuffing/dressing?

A) Cornbread
B) Chestnuts
C) Rice

✔ Correct Answer: B) Chestnuts
Early versions of stuffing used chestnuts, herbs, and onions. Cornbread stuffing didn’t become widespread until much later, especially in the South.
