The table is set, the lighting is perfect and you\u2019re eager to begin the festivities when you hear a familiar ring. The guests are arriving\u2026no, not at the door. Loved ones are dialing in, ready to virtually celebrate the holidays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Thanksgiving celebrations \u2013 or Zoomsgivings<\/em> as we\u2019re affectionately calling them \u2013 are likely to increase this year as many Americans choose to stay home for the holidays<\/a>. For Thanksgiving, Zoom<\/a> is even lifting its 40-minute limit on free video chats. However, while there may be distance between yourself and those you love, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make the most of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From delicious turkey to festive activities, we\u2019re encouraging consumers to embrace Zoomsgiving and make these unusual celebrations your own. As tempting as it may be to skip the holiday hubbub and pop in a microwave meal, there are many ways to keep time-honored traditions alive and create new memories along the way. In fact, we insist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
