Dessert: Transform pie into Thanksgiving Parfaits? Layer crumbled slices of pumpkin, pecan, or apple pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon in individual cups. The creamy layers and pie pieces create a delicious, easy-to-enjoy dessert that’s a fun twist on your classic Thanksgiving treat!


Drink: Whip up a Cranberry Mule! Stir together leftover cranberry sauce, vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice for a refreshing, festive cocktail that’s perfect for savoring the holiday just a little longer. Remove the vodka for a non-alcoholic option.
