Thanksgiving Traditions You Only See in Wisconsin 🍂🧀 Thanksgiving in Wisconsin isn’t just about turkey—here are some classic Wisconsin traditions that make our holiday one-of-a-kind: German and Scandinavian Side Dishes 🇩🇪🇳🇴 - Many families bring their heritage to the table. Scandinavian dishes like lefse and lutefisk and German favorites like cabbage, sausage, and potato salad are must-haves, adding a hearty touch to Thanksgiving dinner. Jello Salad 🍇🥕 - No Wisconsin Thanksgiving is complete without this sweet side dish, where fruit and carrots are suspended in jello—a true Midwestern treat! Other versions of this “salad” may include whipped cream or mayonnaise. Pickled Eggs 🥚 - While waiting for the turkey, pickled eggs offer a salty snack to keep everyone happy until dinner is served. Cranberry Relish - While eaten outside Wisconsin as well, Wisconsin grows more cranberries than any other state. As we celebrate these seasonal traditions, I can’t help but reflect on some of my favorite holiday moments—time with family, savoring that first slice of pie (are you team apple or pumpkin? 🍏🥧), and creating memories that last. Just like our financial goals, the things that truly matter take a little planning and a lot of heart. Wishing you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving wherever you are! P.S.

Love these uniquely Wisconsin traditions—especially the nod to heritage dishes! What’s your go-to side that always steals the show? Growing up in NJ, we always had macaroni, manicotti or lasagna!
