Thanksgiving Music Playlist

Set the mood for turkey day with delightful Thanksgiving music. Plan the Thanksgiving playlist based on the preferences of your family and friends, and on the style of Thanksgiving dinner—casual, dressy, or formal. Choose the music for Thanksgiving in advance to prepare for the special day.
