Thanksgiving traditions have been thrown for a loop this year, so we want you to have one less thing to worry about as you adjust for the realities of 2020. We've teamed up with our friends at The Splendid Table to put together the perfect playlist of classical music for your Thanksgiving celebration.
This two-hour collection of works is filled with a festive American flavor of music to celebrate family, feasting and the harvest themes. It's ready when you are. Just click on Listen above.
If YouTube is easier for your setup, you can play the music from there, too.
For the rest of Thanksgiving Day, we have a live stream of themed classical music that goes along with whatever you're doing — whether it's preparing the big meal, catching up with family and friends on video chat, or simply hanging out. Just click below.
