Here's How To Watch Garfield's Thanksgiving This Year

You might not think so, but Thanksgiving just isn’t complete without our favorite lasagna-loving kitty cat. If you were looking for some festive films to watch this Thanksgiving once you’re stuffed with stuffing, then you should probably know how to watch Garfield's Thanksgiving, the hilarious special from 1989 that'll serve as the perfect appetizer for your Turkey Day movie marathon.

Garfield's Thanksgiving is a short holiday classic.

Garfield is most commonly known as a lazy, lasagna-loving cat with a knack for some witty commentary. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Garfield is obsessed with Thanksgiving, too. But in Garfield's Thanksgiving, the sarcastic cat is put on a diet by a veterinarian who is invited over by Garfield's owner, Jon, for dinner. Understandably, he is miserable about it, because according to his philosophy, “people celebrate food by eating as much of it as possible,” and a diet goes against that. Naturally, hijinks ensue over the course of the special.

Garfield's Thanksgiving is only 24 minutes long from start to finish, so it won't take too much time out of the day to watch. It's perfect to put on while you're making mashed potatoes, prepping your pumpkin pie, or just before enjoying your inaugural Thanksgiving Day nap.
