Who needs to whip up a Thanksgiving feast when you can get all the holiday fixings in one box of Oreos on.nbcboston.com/LmZQyGx
Oreo just dropped 6 new Thanksgiving-themed flavors — including Turkey & Gravy
Oreo just released new Thanksgiving-inspired treats, and cookie lovers have mixed feelings about the unique flavors.

I gave out candy corn this year, among other candy, and I am not exaggerating when I say kids loved it. They waved it to their parents, declared their love of it, and got all giddy. 🤷♀️
