Thanksgiving Menu Planner is a Notion template for anyone hosting Thanksgiving dinner, a Friendsgiving, or a holiday potluck.

Everything for the meal lives on one page: a Thanksgiving Menu database with every dish by course, status, prep date, and who is bringing it, shown as dish cards and as a table grouped by status, plus a Thanksgiving Shopping List with quantity, department, store, and a purchased checkbox, split into To Buy and Owned views. Every ingredient links back to the dish it is for.

Instead of scattered notes, forgotten ingredients, and three guests bringing the same pie, you plan the menu once and shop from one list sorted by store aisle.
