Thanksgiving might not be the sexiest holiday, per say—there’s nothing inherently hot about eating dry turkey and mashed potatoes in honor of 17th-century Puritans who, BTW, were not a particularly lewd and lascivious bunch—but even so, it’s our duty to prep you for all the horny potential that comes with a festive hometown holiday weekend. Contrary to popular belief, Thanksgiving Eve is one of the most sexually active nights of the year (you, your high school ex, your hometown bar…you get the picture). Plus, this seasonal celebration also happens to fall smack dab in the middle of cuffing season, so obviously, there’s a lot of friskiness in the air. That’s why we put together this collection of the sexiest (and okay, yes, mostly the silliest) Thanksgiving pickup lines—so that when you run into the aforementioned ex at the aforementioned hometown bar (or, god forbid, on a dating app), you’re prepared with something a little more clever than, “Hey stranger!” (You can do better!)

And even though pickup lines get a bad rap, that’s only because they’re not always delivered, ahem, strategically. Whether you’re sending one to a dating app match or someone IRL, someone you know or a total stranger, it’s important to read the room. This means 1) don’t send an overly-sexual Thanksgiving pickup line to a stranger who might not consent to that kind of ~energy~ (save those for someone you’re actually dating) and 2) lean into the cringe and approach them or hit send with confidence! Chances are they’ll appreciate your humor, and if they don’t, they weren’t the right match for you anyway. Rejection is just redirection, bb!
Here are 45 Thanksgiving pickup lines to add a little *spice* to your feast this year.
