Thanksgiving is a joyful time to be celebrated with friends and family, but for those who are hosting, the event can get stressful, particularly if simultaneously juggling multiple tasks. Whether it’s organizing the grocery list, cooking the turkey, or entertaining company, there are tech apps that’ll help alleviate the stress of trying to host the perfect gathering, so check them out below:
AnyList
AnyList allows users to create shopping lists and manage recipes, making sure every needed ingredient for Thanksgiving dinner is there to reduce the likelihood of last minute trips to the grocery store.
The app is also beneficial for those participating in potluck dinners, as it allows users to share shopping lists, that way one person is in charge of the mashed potatoes while another has the ingredients for pumpkin pie on his list.
Turkey Time by Spotify
Every year, Spotify unveils a turkey timer that creates a custom playlist to last the entire duration of the bird’s predicted cooking time. The app allows the perfect opportunity to get a Thanksgiving dance party going and burn some calories before the feast. The timer is based on the USDA’s roasting timetable – you simply enter how much your bird weighs and whether it’s stuffed or unstuffed. Next, choose from one of six music genres, ranging from “Club Kitchen” to “Freshly Baked.”
The app then plays the music while the turkey cooks, alerting you with a ding when the bird is done.
Table Plan
If you’re relatives aren’t all on the same page and Thanksgiving is more like an agitated and complicated family ordeal, Table Plan is your answer. The app lets you navigate tricky family relationships by creating seating charts for round, square, or rectangular tables, making for a more peaceful dining experience. This also comes in handy for those hosting a more formal Thanksgiving, wishing to give assigned seats to the table.
NFL
When we think Thanksgiving, thoughts of relaxing, eating, and watching football come to mind. The NFL’s app will keep you in the loop and update you on all the action of the NFL in one place. And if your host doesn’t have a TV near the dinner table, this app is perfect.
Black Friday Ads
As your turkey is digesting and you’re relaxing on the couch, you can get your game plan ready with the Black Friday app. The tool is a one-stop shop for finding the best deals from your favorite stores and making sure no bargain is forgotten.
