For a brighter Thanksgiving table, Party Rental Ltd. used its Country Dining Table and Walnut Rattan Table Runner. A line of Sedona Wood flatware and Sunset Orange Nu Weave napkins completed the rustic look.

Miami-based Nuage Designs worked with Sofia Crokos Events and Lifestyle to put together an elegant tablescape dubbed the Champagne Metallic Forest. Champagne-colored linens served as a neutral backdrop to the simple but sophisticated table. Birch wood centerpieces and bright red flowers from Bastille Flowers & Events completed the seasonally appropriate look, while Party Rental Ltd. provided rentals.

Nuage and Crokos kept the tablescape simple, with white serveware from the Tabletop Company and additional flowers. Tiny snow-capped pine trees added to the wintery vibe.

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Satu’li Canteen is serving its own version of a traditional Thanksgiving meal. The dish features wood-grilled roasted turkey breast with gravy, apple and sage stuffing, green beans, orange marmalade glazed sweet potatoes with candied pecans, mashed potatoes, and cranberry boba pearls; it is available in both adult and kid-size portions.

Stella Artois worked with chef Andre Marrero to create an apple-pie inspired cocktail. The recipe calls for Stella Artois Cidre, ginger, star anise, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Garnish with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, and orange zest.

The Tuck Room in New York is offering a twist on a traditional pumpkin pie. The Triple Silken Pumpkin Pie has three different layers: A gingerbread crust is topped with a pumpkin custard layer, followed by a cream layer, followed by a caramel pumpkin chiboust layer. The result is a decadent dessert with accents of gingerbread, caramel, cream, custard, and, of course, pumpkin. The layers can be used separately for Thanksgiving desserts or stacked to create one large pie.

For a fun, seasonal party idea, NewMoon Chicago offers artists who can guide guests through designing and making their own unique floral crown. The crowns use a custom selection of autumnal florals and colors.

Sangria isn’t just for summer. The Winter Citrus Sangria features Q Club Soda, Q Tonic, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, Cocci Americano Italian White Vermouth, and white wine. Add some sliced winter citrus—think pink grapefruit, mandarin oranges, and lemon—garnish with a sprig of mint.

New Jersey-based Party Rental Ltd. recently created several Thanksgiving-appropriate looks using their own rentals. The brand’s Wide Country Table added to this look’s bold, dark accents and rich textures. The seasonal flowers come from Botanica Inc. For the photo shoot, which took place at the TimesCenter, Great Performances handled catering.

Pumpkin pie will never go out of style, but why not serve it as a cocktail? The Prince PumKing features Drambuie, pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and steamed whole milk. Top with additional milk foam and freshly ground nutmeg.

Wolfgang Puck Catering in Los Angeles has released a new holiday catering menu with several Thanksgiving-appropriate items, including the Thanksgiving Dinner Puff (with roasted turkey, cranberry agridulce, and puff pastry) and the Sweet Potato Mini Hand Pie (with pumpkin-spiced chestnuts and golden raisin chutney). Other seasonally appropriate items include the Barlett Pear Salad (pictured), which features endive, arugula, Point Reyes blue cheese, candied walnuts, pomegranate, and orange vinaigrette.

Also on Wolfgang Puck Catering’s holiday menu is the Blood Orange Panna Cotta, a dessert featuring candied ginger, Grand Marnier orange zest, and sugared Thai basil.

In October 2016, the seventh annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic took place at Will Rogers State Historic Park in Los Angeles. A 3-D floral photo booth, designed and produced by A-1 Array, added a seasonally appropriate, festive vibe.

It’s never too early in the season for eggnog. The Noggy Root calls includes Drambuie, Glenfiddich, Chameleon Caramel Cold Brew Concentrate, and eggnog. Mix in some root beer, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

As a budget-friendly alternative to lush fall flowers, fill vases with affordable tree branches sprouting colorful autumn foliage, like the bountiful, statement-making maple leaf arrangement by New York-based Van Wyck & Van Wyck.

Austin-based eatery Hopdoddy Burger Bar is offering a new Thanksgiving special called the Turducken Burger. The burger includes a stuffing bun, fried green beans and onions, cranberry sauce, salt and pepper, mayonnaise, and a turducken patty. Turkey gravy is served on the side. The $10 burger is available at all Hopdoddy locations in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and California until November 22.

For its family-friendly Halloween event in Los Angeles in October, Target and David Stark Design & Production created a photo backdrop that could also make for a fun Thanksgiving decor idea. Made from thousands of ears of corn, the wall used darker corn to display the Target logo.

Krissy Price of Pollen Floral Design in Boston fashions organic, textured centerpieces incorporating succulents, branches, and vintage elements as well as more traditional blooms. For autumn, “I love to use a color palette that nods to fall, but doesn't scream pumpkins, corn, and harvest,” Price says. “So I tend to use a lot of darker foliage, like smoke bush, Hopi Red Dye amaranth, and maple branches, and pair them with cream or caramel garden roses, some red dahlias, and little chocolate cosmos.” She will also stay on site the day of an event to serve as a one-woman anti-wilting brigade.
