Thanksgiving is upon us and, while due to the Coronavirus pandemic, things are different this year with parades cancelled, some celebrations taking place virtually and all-in-all a much more scaled back celebration than usual years, celebrities are still marking the occasion on social media.

Celebrated in America every year on the fourth Thursday in November, the holiday provides the opportunity for families, friends and loved ones together and tuck into a feast of turkeys, pumpkins pies, hot rolls, candied yams and stuffing.

From family meals and appreciation posts to reminders about considering the historical atrocities committed against indigenous Americans on, here are how the A-listers are marking Thanksgiving 2020.
