Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and sharing gratitude over a delicious feast. But what if you could add a touch of Disney magic to your holiday meal? Imagine sitting down with some of your favorite Disney characters and enjoying a truly unforgettable Thanksgiving dinner. While it might not be realistic, it’s fun to dream!
Here’s a list of the Disney characters we’d love to invite to our Thanksgiving table and why they’d be the perfect guests.
1. Adventure Mickey and Minnie
Adventure Mickey and Minnie, dressed in their iconic safari gear from the Adventure Outpost at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, would bring a worldly flair to Thanksgiving dinner. Having traveled to the farthest corners of the globe, they’d be full of fascinating stories to share about their adventures. From exotic foods to exciting wildlife encounters, these two would inspire everyone at the table to dream bigger and plan their next journey.

And who wouldn’t want travel tips from Mickey and Minnie themselves?
2. Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, and the Enchanted Dishes from Beauty and the Beast
The enchanting trio from Beauty and the Beast would transform Thanksgiving into a magical experience. Lumiere would light up the room with his charming personality, while Mrs. Potts would ensure everyone felt at home with her warm hospitality. Let’s not forget the enchanted dishes—they’d serve up a spectacular feast complete with the iconic “grey stuff” (which we hear is delicious!).
With their flair for song and dance, this group would make every moment unforgettable, leaving you humming “Be Our Guest” well after dessert.
3. Genie from Aladdin
Genie would undoubtedly steal the show at Thanksgiving dinner. With his endless magical abilities, he could fix any culinary mishap, ensuring the turkey is perfectly cooked and the pies don’t burn. Plus, his over-the-top antics and hilarious impressions would keep everyone entertained.
“Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that?” Genie can—and he’d be the ultimate addition to the festivities.
4. Sleepy the Dwarf
Let’s face it: turkey and all the trimmings tend to make us drowsy, and who better to embrace that post-meal nap vibe than Sleepy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? He’d make you feel better about sneaking off for a quick snooze after dinner, turning Thanksgiving naps into a celebrated tradition. While having all seven dwarfs would be a joy, Sleepy perfectly captures the relaxed, contented mood of Thanksgiving.
5. Chip and Dale
Chip and Dale would bring playful energy to the Thanksgiving table. These mischievous chipmunks could gather nuts (or pecans for pie!) and craft adorable acorn garlands to decorate the table. Their antics would keep everyone laughing, making Thanksgiving even more fun and memorable.
Just be prepared to keep an eye on the dessert table—Chip and Dale might have their own ideas for dessert portions!
6. The Swedish Chef (from The Muppets)
Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without a culinary expert, and the Swedish Chef is the perfect candidate! Known for his hilarious attempts to cook, he’d provide endless entertainment as he prepared the meal. While there’s a good chance the turkey might escape under his watch, the Swedish Chef would turn the chaos into comedy gold.

Even if the feast leans more vegetarian than planned, the laughter would be worth it.
7. The Lost Boys from Peter Pan
The Lost Boys would turn Thanksgiving into a creative, carefree celebration. Instead of a traditional feast, they’d bring their signature imaginative twist. At first, the table might appear empty, but with their boundless creativity, they’d conjure an epic meal out of thin air—no cooking required!
Their playful energy would remind everyone to embrace their inner child and savor the joy of the moment.
8. Ariel from The Little Mermaid
Thanksgiving with Ariel would be a delightful experience. As someone who’s fascinated by human objects, she’d have a great time exploring the table settings. Just make sure to keep an eye on the forks—she might mistake them for dinglehoppers!
Her curiosity and cheerful personality would spark fun conversations, making Thanksgiving an adventure under the sea—well, almost.
9. Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother
When it comes to Thanksgiving magic, no one compares to Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. With just a wave of her wand and a “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” she could turn any Thanksgiving dish into a masterpiece. Imagine her transforming a pumpkin pie into a dazzling centerpiece fit for royalty.
She’d also sprinkle a bit of magic over the evening, ensuring that everyone left the table feeling truly thankful.
10. Winnie the Pooh and Piglet
Winnie the Pooh and Piglet would bring warmth and heartfelt gratitude to Thanksgiving. Pooh, with his famous love of food, would remind everyone to savor the simple joys of the holiday. His thoughtful quotes, like “What could be more important than a little something to eat?” would make the meal feel extra special.
