117 Best Thanksgiving Team Names for Turkey Trot, Trivia, etc (Curated & Ranked) + Generator

Thanksgiving has been an annual American tradition since 1789 when George Washington decided there should be a day of thanks celebrating the new Constitution and the Revolutionary War’s end.^[1]

However, Thanksgiving hasn’t always looked like it does now.

Football became a part of Thanksgiving day around the 1890s, canned cranberry sauce wasn’t introduced until 1912, and the presidents didn’t begin pardoning turkeys until the 1940s!^[1]

Though turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes still appear on most dinner tables, people now celebrate Thanksgiving with a wide variety of activities.

Thanksgiving team names can be geared toward Turkey Trot runners, holiday-themed trivia competitions, or “Friendsgiving” festivities.

We have ideas to suit any Thanksgiving team below! If you’d like to create your own Thanksgiving team name, we also share tips to help you find the perfect fit.

Thanksgiving Team Name Generator

How to Create a Great Thanksgiving Team Name

No matter the event or activity, your Thanksgiving team name should be festive and fun!

Create a great Thanksgiving team name with the following tips:

• Use the names of historical figures and places. Research the history of Thanksgiving and form your team name around central figures or places from that period in U.S. history. Choose a person you admire, a ship that the first settlers sailed on, or any other term that strikes your interest.
• Think about what Thanksgiving means to you. You and your team may have similar memories and meanings associated with Thanksgiving. Come up with a word or phrase that is meaningful to all of you. The word or phrase you choose can be related to Thanksgiving dinner, activities, or feelings.
• Find a tasty team name. When asked, “What’s your favorite part of Thanksgiving?,” most people will answer, “The food!” Consider naming your team after your members’ favorite part of the feast. Dishes like cranberry sauce, stuffing, turkey, and mashed potatoes are essential to celebrating the holiday and can make great inspirations for team names.
  
• Use humor and puns. Thanksgiving is a time to relax and have fun. Keep your Thanksgiving team name lighthearted by incorporating comedy, jokes, and puns into it. Have your group think of traditional Thanksgiving terms and convert them with a funny twist. The funnier, the better!
