It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Did you think this article was about recipes or decorations? Well, you thought wrong. Get ready to read Charlotte and Sam’s dream Thanksgiving table. Whether you’re into sports, pop culture, history, or philosophy, you’ll be sure to converse with someone of interest at this table.
1. The Rock
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is perhaps the epitome of American Pop Culture. Both an actor and a wrestler, the conversation will never lull in his presence. Since we know he’ll make a full plate, we don’t have to worry about too many leftovers. Also, if we have a stuck jar, we know who to call on. Starring in Moana and Jumanji, his wide range of experiences will bring an air of expertise and strength to the table. Worried we won’t have enough sides? Don’t worry, he texted that he’s bringing his favorite one: homemade cornbread with honey.
2. Abby Lee Miller
Quite a controversial figure, Abby Lee Miller will be sure to bring her opinionated attitude to the table. Whether you know her from Dance Moms or through her self-owned dance company, “The Abby Lee Dance Company,” you must be familiar with her fierce, yet loving attitude. Also, the food at this dinner must be top-tier if Abby Lee Miller is attending. If you get lucky, she may even bring some of her mom’s homemade noodle casserole!
3. Barack Obama
In the midst of the chaos, Barack Obama is here to the rescue. The perfect buffer for our table, he brings both the political and historical features. Although, it would be a miracle if we even got him at our table, considering how family-oriented he is. His community-oriented values and hopeful attitude make it easy to be thankful. Oh, and also, according to ABC News, his favorite Thanksgiving food is pumpkin pie, so be sure to save him a slice.
4. Alexander Hamilton
1776, New York City. Actually, it’s 2025, at Sam and Charlotte’s Thanksgiving Table. But Hamilton will be there nonetheless, because what is Thanksgiving without a founding father? A musical written about him, and drafting the Constitution, what hasn’t Hamilton done? Known for writing 51 essays out of spite, his sass will be sure to spark historical debates at our table. Also, we can count on his colonial outfit to turn the table into a fashion show. He won’t be young, scrappy, or hungry anymore, especially once we cook his favorite dish, cauliflower florets as featured in the Hamilton Cookbook.
5. Charli D’Amelio
I know what you must be thinking, why on Earth would we want 2020 TikTok-famous Charli D’Amelio at our Thanksgiving table. Honestly, she just adds some diversity; she is by far the youngest and probably the least serious. If we get lucky, maybe we could even be streamed on the D’Amelio Show on Hulu on a special Thanksgiving episode. I am sure she would have something to add to the conversation, especially because she used to get trained by Abby Lee Miller! There is some talk about them having a strictly professional relationship, but who knows, maybe they will bond over their traumatic dance experiences and leave dinner with a new friend.
6. Simone Biles
We all know If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, but what about If You Give Simone a Gold Medal? Specifically, 11 gold medals. With her Olympic-level discipline, we know at least she will arrive on time. Honestly, probably 5 minutes early with time to stretch. We’ll make sure to keep the hallway clear, just in case she needs space to do a mid-dinner routine. When she brings her favorite food, potatoes, I just know we’ll rate it a 10.
7. Gordon Ramsay
World-famous chef, mostly known for his screen time on Hell’s Kitchen, will definitely bring more controversy to the table. As if we didn’t have enough already. His tough criticism and unfiltered personality will make sure to make a comment on the food, whether good or bad. Watch out, though, if you take your eyes off him, he may just take over the kitchen. I don’t know about you, but I’m not getting in his way.
8. Aristotle
Mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, oh my. While he may not have experienced Thanksgiving in his own time, that certainly doesn’t mean he’s excluded from ours. With his analytical outlook, we know our seating chart will perfectly balance everyone’s virtues and alignments. No spiritual clashes here. Also, his commitment to eudaimonia (a state of flourishing or well-being) will curb the petty drama brought on by some other, cough cough, Abby Lee Miller guests. While we don’t know his favorite food, his diet likely would’ve been Mediterranean, so a dish such as Branzino with olives would definitely suffice.
9. Britney Spears
Oops, I did it again. I…invited Britney to Thanksgiving?! With her world-class vocal talent, we won’t have to worry about curating a playlist for this special holiday; Britney will have the music covered. We’ll definitely make extra mashed potatoes, in case she says “Gimme Gimme more”. Being an unprepared host is not an option. With so much talent at our table, we knew we needed Britney to bring another side of fame to our dinner, the vocal kind. While we don’t know for certain what Spears’ favorite Thanksgiving meal is, we do know she’s very fond of turkey, so we’ll be sure to perfect our recipe just for her.
10. LeBron James
To be honest, not much thought went into this one. And with full transparency, he will probably eat most of the food anyway. However, he is known to be pretty funny and quite athletic. He joined the NBA straight out of high school when he was 18. I wonder if he and Simone, two very disciplined and accomplished athletes, would hit it off. I guess we will never know.
