Thanksgiving looks different across North America. In Canada (October), families celebrate during cool, colorful autumn days. In the United States (November), the holiday arrives with colder weather and cozy indoor traditions.

For parents of toddlers and babies, this means planning age-appropriate activities that match the season—while keeping little ones warm and comfortable in organic fall/winter clothing.
