In the generous, gluttonous spirit of November, we felt compelled—no, morally obligated—to bestow upon you the finest Thanksgiving pick-up lines the internet (and several questionable group chats) have to offer.

Use them wisely. Every single one has an equal chance of getting you lucky, getting you laughed at, or getting you escorted out of the dining room by someone’s aunt who does CrossFit.

1. “Are those breasts real?”
Dangerous. Reckless. Potentially life-altering.
If you dare to deploy it, be prepared to immediately follow up with:
“THE TURKEY BREASTS. I MEANT THE TURKEY BREASTS.”
Run if necessary.

2. “Wanna head back to my place and get sauced?”
A classic—playful, festive, and slightly concerning if delivered while holding an actual bottle of gravy.
Avoid the darker version: “Want me to pour steaming hot gravy all over you?”
This is a pick-up line, not a cry for help.

3. “Hey baby, want to help me get the juice out of my baster?”
A timeless favorite.
Subtle enough to get a laugh, suggestive enough to get a number, and bold enough that your grandma will absolutely hear it from across the room.

4. “It takes me four and a half hours to really get cookin’.”
A perfect line—confident, mysterious, and mildly confusing.
However, if you cannot back up this promise, you risk creating the world’s angriest post-pie situationship.

5. “Is that your pop-up timer, or are you just happy to see me?”
Ideal for flirting with men who have no idea what a pop-up timer is.
He’ll laugh anyway, because he’s pretty sure he’s being complimented and that’s all he really needs to hear today.

Honorable Mentions for 2025:

• “You’re looking like the reason I’d break my ‘no second helpings’ rule.”

• “Call me the leftovers—because you’ll be thinking about me tomorrow.”

• “Are we in the kitchen? Because something between us is definitely heating up.”

Remember: Don’t let the holidays dull your flirting game. Turkey may get dry, but your pick-up lines shouldn’t.
