The maple leaves by the street are turning yellow, the smell of pumpkin pie drifts across the supermarket aisles, and suddenly it hits you—oh, Thanksgiving is around the corner.
If you happen to have Spanish-speaking friends or coworkers, or you’re gearing up to send a message on WhatsApp or WeChat, a familiar question pops up:
“How do I say Happy Thanksgiving in Spanish?”
No rush—these expressions are simple, warm, and surprisingly natural.
🦃 The Most Common and Easiest Thanksgiving Wishes
If you’re in a hurry, remembering just this one is enough:
- ¡Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias!
The standard way to say “Happy Thanksgiving.”
You can’t go wrong with this.
Want it to sound a tiny bit warmer?
- ¡Feliz Acción de Gracias!
- ¡Feliz Thanksgiving! (Many Latin American regions also use this)
Or try something with a personal touch:
- Que tengas un hermoso Día de Acción de Gracias.
Wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving. - Te deseo un Día de Acción de Gracias lleno de alegría.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving full of joy.
Short, sweet, and perfect for texts, cards, or social posts.
🧡 If You Want to Say “Thank You” in Spanish
Thanksgiving is the season of saying “thanks.” If you want to appreciate someone specifically:
- Gracias por todo.
Thank you for everything. - Estoy agradecido/a por tenerte en mi vida.
I’m grateful to have you in my life.
(Men use agradecido, women use agradecida.) - Aprecio mucho lo que haces por mí.
I truly appreciate what you do for me. - Gracias por tu apoyo y cariño.
Thanks for your support and care.
Sometimes a fuller sentence hits deeper than a simple “Gracias.”
🥧 More Casual, Native-Like Thanksgiving Wishes
If you want something that sounds like real-life Spanish—not textbook Spanish—try these:
- Que disfrutes mucho con tu familia.
Hope you enjoy time with your family. - Que la pases increíble hoy.
Have an amazing day. - Mucha comida, risas y amor para ti.
Wishing you food, laughter, and love.
And this one’s fun and super common:
- ¡A comer pavo!
Let’s eat turkey! (Very casual)
Send this to a Mexican or Colombian friend and they’ll probably laugh.
