About the event
Friendsgiving began as a modern twist on the traditional Thanksgiving holiday, combining the words "friends" and "Thanksgiving." While there isn’t one definitive origin, the term gained popularity in the early 2010s and is thought to have been popularized by pop culture, social media, and marketing campaigns.
Some trace its roots to groups of friends who couldn’t travel home for Thanksgiving, particularly among young adults and college students, so they created their own version of the holiday. Others believe it became a way to supplement family traditions with a more relaxed, inclusive gathering that reflects the diversity of chosen families.
It became mainstream after being featured in TV shows, advertisements, and online communities, resonating as a fun, flexible, and low-pressure way to celebrate gratitude with the people you choose. Today, Friendsgiving is widely embraced as a cherished tradition for strengthening bonds and creating new memories.
