"A Thanksgiving Miracle" (Season 41)
Regardless of race or politics, no matter if you're carnivore or vegan, there's one thing we can all agree on: We love Adele! In this clip from Matthew McConaughey's November 21, 2015 episode, a family keeps tiptoeing to the edge of a fight, only to be saved by "Hello" and its accompanying music video's aesthetic: sepia tones, windblown hair, long nails, and a fur coat. Thanks, Adele.
"Wayne Thanksgiving" (Season 43)
Former The Voice Coach Chance the Rapper starred in this 2017 sketch about Bruce Wayne's food drive in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday. When Chance's character, a mischievous but harmless teen asks Batman why his discipline measures are so dramatic, hilarity ensues.
Who's in it: Chance the Rapper, Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson, Chris Redd, Beck Bennett

"Back Home Ballers" (Season 40)
From the same baddies who brought you "(Do It On My) Twin Bed" comes "Back Home Ballers," an anthem for the grown daughters of doting parents who live like queens when they're home for the holidays. Bowls, bowls, all types of bowls!
Who's in it: Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Sasheer Zamata, Vanessa Bayer, Leslie Jones, Cameron Diaz and Lil' Baby Aidy Bryant
"Weekend Update: Adam Sandler on Thanksgiving" (Season 18)
There are countless legendary Weekend Update bits from Adam Sandler's time in the SNL cast, especially once he had a guitar in his hands. Sandler had the Season 18 audience in stitches with his Thanksgiving-themed song, which focused mostly on maintaining a rhyming scheme rather than the specifics of the holiday. It's a song that should be added to every holiday playlist.
Who's in it: Adam Sandler, Kevin Nealon
