But unless the day is absolutely terrible, you might still be able to gather for a short time to enjoy a little turkey and stuffing with your friends and family. (And if the weather is terrible, consider penciling in a rain date a day or two later so you can still enjoy your time together.) Just note: In its&nbsp;guidelines on holiday celebrations during the coronavirus pandemic, a small outdoor dinner with friends or family who live close by as a moderate-risk activity, so plan carefully to limit risk for everyone involved. Travel is also a high-risk activity, so&nbsp;holiday travel&nbsp;may not be the best idea\u2014with that in mind, know that your Thanksgiving gathering (even if it is outdoors) will be smaller than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Dress Your Backyard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/interiorunits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dsw-eames-4-dining-chairs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2698\" width=\"561\" height=\"374\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dress your backyard with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/interiorunits.com\/chairs\/dsw-eames-style-set-of-4-dining-chairs-white\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DSW Eames Style Set of 4 Dining Chair<\/a><\/strong> rather than one big, long table, break up seating into smaller parties by household, to make mealtime safer. Invest in&nbsp;outdoor heaters&nbsp;and put out cozy throws to help keep the chill off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Little Creative With the Menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/interiorunits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/creative-with-the-menu.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2699\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your oven the day off and find ways to keep your cooking outdoors, too. (That\u2019ll also help warm up the backyard!) You can&nbsp;fire up the grill for the turkey&nbsp;and sides like&nbsp;sweet potatoes&nbsp;and&nbsp;corn.&nbsp;Slow cookers are great for a number of&nbsp;Thanksgiving sides,&nbsp;including potato gratin and corn spoon bread. Whenever possible, aim to offer&nbsp;individual portions,&nbsp;so no one\u2019s reaching into shared dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Offer Hot Beverages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/interiorunits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/coffee_hotdrink_winter.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2700\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A hot drink can help everyone stay warm. Use slow cookers or thermoses to serve cocoa and hot water for tea. (You can also put out rum or bourbon so guests can craft their own hot cocktails, and extra add-ins like cinnamon sticks, marshmallows, and whipped cream to let guests get creative.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Coordinate Your Menus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Work with the hosts of each household to plan at least a few similar dishes on each family\u2019s menu, so you can all enjoy the same appetizers, your family\u2019s secret stuffing recipe, or a slice of apple pie for dessert.
