Turkey, Toasts, and Togetherness: Your Guide to Friendsgiving Fun

November 18, 2024 Rachel Ferrucci

Friendsgiving is the perfect excuse to gather your crew, ditch the stress of family politics, and focus on what really matters: food, fun, and cocktails! Create a long table filled with mismatched plates, an array of everyone’s favorite dishes, and your best friends laughing so hard that someone inevitably snorts cranberry sauce. It’s not about a perfectly brined turkey or Pinterest-worthy centerpieces (though bonus points if someone brings one), it’s about celebrating your chosen family in the most delicious way possible.

No Friendsgiving is complete without a solid lineup of cocktails to keep the party going. Pumpkin spice margaritas, apple cider mimosas, and a big pitcher of spiked sangria that gets more potent with every refill. One friend might attempt to shake up a fancy Manhattan, while another insists on recreating that “Pinterest cocktail” they saw two days ago. Spoiler, it might turn out questionable, but hey, that’s half the fun! Everyone’s sipping and swapping stories, and before you know it, the group is knee-deep in debates about which pie is superior (pumpkin always wins for me).

By the end of the night, you’ll all be stuffed to the gills with stuffing and laughter, toasting to friendships that make life sweeter than pecan pie. Someone’s dog might have stolen a roll, and the dessert table might be down to crumbs, but those are the kind of “messy” moments that make Friendsgiving unforgettable. It’s chaos, it’s comfort, and it’s the best kind of tradition to kick off the holiday season.

Having a Friendsgiving feast with your closest pals is becoming a tradition that more and more people partake in every year. As Italy’s most popular sparkling wine, Prosecco DOC is the ideal addition to any Friendsgiving! Prosecco offers a refreshing option that pairs effortlessly with many dishes and brings an unmistakable festive vibe to the table.

How does Prosecco DOC elevate your Friendsgiving feast?

Pairing Power

Prosecco DOC is known for its light, refreshing flavors, with notes of green apple, pears, and citrus. This flavor profile makes it a great pairing for everything from the traditional Thanksgiving spread of classic turkey and ham dishes, to savory side dishes like mac & cheese and stuffing.

La Gioiosa Prosecco DOC Treviso is a great option to pair with your Friendsgiving plate, providing a refreshing contrast that elevates every bite.

Inclusive Appeal

With gentle bubbles and lower ABV, Prosecco DOC appeals to a wide range of palates, even those who are beginners to wine or aren’t sure what they may enjoy.

Toast to togetherness with Mionetto Prosecco DOC Brut, a great option with a low 11% ABV and only 12g of residual sugars that gives a lively mouthfeel with a clean, dry finish.

Cocktail Combos

Even your clumsiest friends will want to make cocktails when you include Prosecco DOC!

Try making a Negroni Sbagliato with La Marca Prosecco DOC, replacing the gin with prosecco.


If you’d rather drink something pink, try making a Hugo Rosé Spritz with Valdo Marca Oro Prosecco Rosé! No matter what you choose, it’s sure to be the star of your Friendsgiving party.

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
