In which month is the American Thanksgiving holiday celebrated? November.

American Thanksgiving is celebrated in November, specifically on the fourth Thursday of the month. Because the date is tied to a weekday rather than a fixed calendar day, the holiday can fall anywhere from November 22 through November 28.

The modern national observance developed from earlier days of thanksgiving and harvest celebrations in New England. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving in 1863 during the American Civil War, helping establish the annual tradition near the end of November.

The date was not always uniform. For many years, Thanksgiving was observed on the final Thursday of November. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it earlier temporarily to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, prompting the nickname "Franksgiving." Congress ultimately set the federal holiday as the fourth Thursday in November in 1941.

American Thanksgiving is distinct from Canadian Thanksgiving, which is celebrated in October. Typical U.S. observances include a family meal, turkey, parades, football and charitable activities.
