The big bird gets an awful lot of the attention, but when it comes to the Thanksgiving dinner spread, we’re all about the side dishes! What’s more fun than piling your plate high with a little of this and a bit of that? Without beloved favorites and small dishes that allow you to sample the whole spread, holiday dinners just wouldn’t be holiday dinners. Let’s cheers to a cornucopia of Thanksgiving side dish ideas that are bound to make your spread more festive (and more delicious!).
Slow Cooker Saus’age Stuffing
This vegan recipe is perfect for your plant-based loved ones, but you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy this flavorful and aromatic stuffing made with sourdough bread, celery, rosemary, sage, and plant-based Gardein™ Original Breakfast Saus’age Patties.
Udi’s® Gluten-Free Stuffing
If vegan dishes aren’t a must on your table this Thanksgiving, consider gluten-free options instead. This rich and buttery stuffing is made with plenty of fresh herbs and two types of Udi’s bread to mimic the real thing. You may just start making it every Thanksgiving!
Fall White Sangria
While everyone’s waiting for the big meal, get the festivities started with a little sangria! With bourbon-soaked apples, pear, orange, and white wine, it’s easy to make a big batch for guests. Plus, the Reddi-wip® Nitro Creamer on top of fruity fall flavors gives it a little extra sweetness and fizz.
Pretzel Knots with Beer Queso
Utility meets taste in this inventive recipe that takes store-bought pizza dough and turns it into soft pretzel knots that pair oh-so-delightfully alongside beer queso, made with Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. Perfect for noshing while watching the game and before the main feast.
Pumpkin Hand Pies
These adorable, single-serve pies are an easy and delicious treat to make with the kids, who will love the secret ingredient: Snack Pack® Vanilla Pudding, which gives the filling a delicious bit of creaminess. Believe it or not, they only take 50 minutes from prep to your first bit of pumpkin pie.
Caramel Apple Moscow Mules
We’re happy to say that Moscow Mules are a fall drink trend that’s here to stay. And Reddi-wip Sweet Foam makes these mules a shoo-in for your new favorite nightcap this Thanksgiving. Do yourself a favor and get some copper mugs now. You can thank us later.

Made with Ro*Tel Original, Velveeta® Cheese, and Birds Eye® Sweet Kernel Corn, your Thanksgiving table will be talking about this one for years to come. It’s delicious on its own, but try serving the leftovers alongside a big bowl of chili.
