Time to gobble up those Insta likes.

For people with a big appetite, Thanksgiving may be the best holiday there is. Turkey, stuffing, clouds of mashed potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie for days — the list of hearty, autumnal foods goes on. And what better way to share your celebration of thanks than with a clever Instagram caption? While colorful filters and editing can make a photo pop, nothing will impress your followers more than a funny caption.

Of course, at Travel + Leisure, we firmly believe Thanksgiving is a perfect excuse to ditch the dining room table and take a late fall trip, too. If your Thanksgiving plans include more flights than turkey, there is just one more reason to perfect your Thanksgiving Instagram strategy.
