Celebrate Thanksgiving early with your crew by hosting a Friendsgiving brunch! While everyone usually spends Thanksgiving with family, hosting a brunch the Wednesday before gives you time to catch up with friends and toast to the fabulous celebrations ahead. Serve our seasonal pumpkin pancakes for a tasty main course, and don’t forget the brunch staple: mimosas!
