Animal Crossing New Horizons Thanksgiving Turkey Day 2021

What is the best occasion to celebrate autumn and enjoy typical dishes if not with the feast of Turkey Day? On the occasion of American Thanksgiving, this special event is organized on the island of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. 

ACNH Thanksgiving Event Date: This event is repeated every year on the last Thursday of November - American Thanksgiving every year!, from 9 am until midnight, so the Turkey Day Event in 2021 will begin on November 25th at 9 AM and run until Midnight, same for islands both in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. 

ACNH Turkey Day Changes: Judging from Nintendo's approach to regular events released in 2021, in order to keep players excited about the event, new content including new Thanksgiving theme ACNH items for sale is likely to be added to this year's event. The main goal-help Franklin cook recipes will still be maintained, but we are not sure whether there will be new menus and ingredients added to update the game mechanics. Similarly, we also expect Franklin to bring us more surprises, such as brand new cool Turkey Day items!
