Fun Things to Do Thanksgiving Weekend in Peterborough/Lindsay 2025
Thanksgiving Weekend 2025 Events in Peterborough/Lindsay
This year, Thanksgiving weekend is from Friday, October 10th to Monday, October 13th. Canadian Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the second Monday of October. We have our Thanksgiving in October rather than November as this is much closer to the end of the Canadian Harvest season, and also doesn't clash with Remembrance Day.

Preparing For Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving can be a stressful time, especially if you're the one hosting. We can help relieve some of that stress by providing you with some of the items you may need for the big day.
Pumpkin Puree: Looking to bake a pumpkin pie this year? Farmer's Market Organic Pumpkin Puree is your first stop. It’s unique flavor and health properties make it a fall necessity.
Simply Organic Turkey Gravy Mix: Instead of going through the stress of making your own gravy, you should pick up Simply Organic's Turkey Flavoured Gravy Mix. It's as close to homemade as you can get in a packet, perfect for creating instant, foolproof turkey gravy.
Cha's Organic Coconut Milk:
So many recipes call for milk and coconut milk is a great swap. It’s a rich, dairy-free alternative that works beautifully in both sweet and savory dishes. Use it to make creamy pumpkin soup, velvety curries, or even a twist on traditional mashed sweet potatoes.
Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour:
Whether you’re baking pies, dinner rolls, or a festive batch of cookies, this flour delivers reliable, consistent results every time. It’s milled from high-quality grains with no shortcuts, which means better texture and flavor in your holiday recipes.
Fall/Thanksgiving Drinks
Stash Tea: Maybe you need a mug full of fall flavors to warm you up on a chilly afternoon. And maybe you’ve been waiting for the right time to enjoy them. Either way, enjoy sipping Stash's seasonal fall teas and be sure to stock up on your favorites while they last!
Organic Traditions:
Pumpkin Spice Latte is a seasonal, limited-edition latte made with real pumpkin, warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and cardamom, and only 2g of sugar per serving.
Pulp & Press:
Your perfect cozy companion for fall, this Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is their healthy take on the infamous PSL. Crafted from 100% organic ingredients, it has the natural goodness of REAL pumpkin — no concentrates or added sugars here.
Dutchman's Gold: Carefully blended in certified organic pumpkin spice to create a delicious honey spread that will bring new and exciting flavours to your next breakfast or snack. Add some to your coffee or tea for an extra kick!
