If you have one of those families that fights over the TV remote after Thanksgiving dinner, then you've come to the right place. There is something out there for everyone this holiday weekend, whether you're looking to watch a movie that puts you in the Christmas spirit, a special that you can sing along to, or a TV show that will creep you out when you go down for midnight leftovers.

Assuming you can get mom to turn off The Irishman and the cousins to take a break from making Baby Yoda gifs, here is what The Week recommends you watch this Thanksgiving weekend.
