Thanksgiving is around the corner, so it's time to eat, drink, and cranberry! Once you've got the turkey a cookin' and the pies a bakin', don't forget Thanksgiving puns to add some levity to the day too. Here we have 62 that will add plenty of cheese to your menu for the day, covering all the Thanksgiving necessities: turkey, side dishes, and pies and other desserts (I like big Bundts and I cannot lie!), plus don't forget the wine (sip happens!) and seconds.

Skip politics this year and let these puns—all of them clean for all ages—guide your family dinner conversation to light and fun places, along with talk of what you are each thankful for, perhaps with Thanksgiving songs playing in the background too. You can add in some Thanksgiving jokes and even some dad jokes while you are at it. Read through them all to find just the right Thanksgiving Instagram caption for your pics from this year's celebration too, and if you want to take one next level, put them on matching T-shirts for the family too.

Now get ready, it's time to gobble 'til you wobble (until it's time for a round of tree-mendously hilarious Christmas puns)!
