Get the whole family ready for Thanksgiving with Turkey Hollow, a new family movie! Plan your own Turkey Hollow viewing party with these fun tips

I'm a sucker for holiday movies and specials. I have lots of Halloween and Christmas favorites, but I have had a hard time finding a good Thanksgiving themed family movie. That's why I was so excited to hear about Turkey Hollow, the new Lifetime Original Movie premiering on November 21. It's the perfect choice for our family movie night and promises to get us into the Thanksgiving spirit!

PS - if you missed it, you can now get Turkey Hollow on DVD!

Turkey Hollow has a really intriguing backstory. The movie is based on an original story and characters created by Jim Henson and his longtime writing partner, Jerry Juhl. These are the same people that brought us two of my all time childhood favorites, The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock. I love that Jim Henson's family has brought this project out of the archives and into our homes.

Turkey Hollow tells the story of the Emmerson family: recently divorced dad Ron and his two children, Tim and Annie, visiting Ron's eccentric aunt in the quaint town of Turkey Hollow for Thanksgiving. Without technology and the Internet to entertain them, the kids set off to find the "Howling Hoodooo" - a monster that locals dismiss as just a legend. Things take a turn and the family (along with some furry new friends!) must save the day. Starring Mary Steenburgen, Jay Harrington, Ludacris - along with some amazing creatures that any Jim Henson fan will love - Turkey Hollow promises to be an instant family classic.

Turkey Hollow is all about family values, so it's the perfect movie to watch together as a family. We love to have family movie night once a week, and we'll be making Turkey Hollow our pick for the weekend before Thanksgiving.
