Thanksgiving 2023 has arrived, and whether you’re doing a big family celebration or a more quiet affair, there’s plenty to watch on TV. From streaming classic movies, to marathons, here’s your essential guide on what to watch.This documentary is about David Holmes, a former stunt man on the “Harry Potter” films who broke his neck and became paralyzed in an accident. While that subject matter sounds grim, Holmes’ resilience is ultimately inspiring, and the connection to “Harry Potter” makes it have broad appeal as a Thanksgiving watch for multiple generations.
Daniel Radcliffe is also in the doc (and produces it). Where to watch: Max. The feel-good soccer comedy “Ted Lasso” was a hit, so a holiday special involving star Hannah Waddingham should also be a crowd-pleasing watch.

She’s joined by a slew of special guests, including Sam Ryder, Luke Evans, Leslie Odom Jr. and her “Ted Lasso” co-star Phil Dunster.

It follows Garfield the cat (Lorenzo Music) as he gets put on a diet right around the holiday. Where to watch: Peacock, Prime Video.If you want a Christmas rom-com, this is a new one that recently came out.
