In recent years, rounding up your besties to celebrate Friendsgiving has become one of the season’s best and most loved traditions. And for many people, the opportunity to gather with family and friends is the best part of the unofficial holiday. Just being around your loved ones is special, and Friendsgiving can be especially fun since it allows you to celebrate in your own creative style without the added stress of awkward small talk at the table. That said, one thing about Friendsgiving remains unchanged from its Thanksgiving origins: the importance of food.

Friendsgiving food ideas are plentiful, and one of the great things is there’s no need to stick with traditional Thanksgiving dishes like mashed potatoes or green beans if you don’t want to. Though it’s good Friendsgiving etiquette to coordinate who is bringing what Friendsgiving dishes ahead of time, you likely won’t run into any duplicate issues if you decide to try out a unique side dish or new dessert.

If you’re in need of inspiration of what to bring to Friendsgiving, keep reading for plenty of Friendsgiving food ideas and recipes that will make the holiday an unforgettable one. (You don’t want to miss the pumpkin sangria!)
