Thanksgiving & Friendsgiving: Best American Snacks UK
What Even Is Thanksgiving, and Why Should UK Snack Fans Care? 🦃
Thanksgiving lands on the last Thursday of November in America — that's 26th November this year — and it is basically the Americans' version of Christmas dinner, minus the presents and plus a full day of American football on the telly. Families gather, turkey gets carved, and somewhere around the dessert course someone inevitably falls asleep on the sofa.
Here in the UK, more and more of us are throwing our own "Friendsgiving" — mates round, something roasting in the oven, and a proper American snacks UK spread for grazing on while the parade (or the football, if you're not fussed about tradition) plays in the background. You don't need a turkey to get involved. You just need the right snacks.
We've put together the ultimate couch-side haul for your watch party, whether that's a Thursday-night Friendsgiving or just an excuse to raid our full range of imported American snacks on a random Tuesday.
The Game Day Snack Squad 🏈
No American holiday is complete without snacks you can eat with one hand while the other grips the remote. These are built for exactly that:
Candy Pop M&M's Popcorn is sweet-shop popcorn loaded with mini M&M's through every handful — think cinema popcorn that got invited to the sweet shop. It's an absolute staple for any watch party bowl.

Prefer caramel to chocolate buttons? Candy Pop Twix Popcorn swaps the M&M's for crunchy caramel Twix pieces folded through the same sweet popcorn base. Either way, nobody's reaching for plain crisps once this is on the table.

And when you need something to dunk, Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookies are the real deal — properly crunchy, loaded with chocolate chips, and gone before the first quarter's over.

Fizzy Drinks for the Table 🥤
You can't do a proper American spread without proper American fizzy drinks — our whole American Drinks collection is full of flavours your local shop simply doesn't stock.
Fanta Berry USA is a proper US-only flavour — sweet, fruity and nothing like the orange Fanta you grew up with. Pour it ice-cold for the table and watch it disappear.
Fanta Grape 355ml USA is a deep purple, properly grape-flavoured soda the UK fridge has been missing out on. It's bold, it's bright, and it belongs right next to the gravy — well, near it, anyway.
Barq's Root Beer is the classic American diner drink — think sarsaparilla, vanilla and a proper fizzy bite. ⏳ Currently down to our last few cans, so check availability before you order.
Sweet Treats for After Dinner 🍬
Once the main event is done, it's time for the sweet trolley. These are the ones to have on standby:
Tootsie Rolls Original are an American classic — chewy, chocolatey, and the kind of old-school American candy your mates will have heard of but never actually tried.
Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry hard candies are a proper American institution — bold, tangy and strong enough to last through two full quarters of football.
👉 Shop Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry now →
Kit Kat Churros bring cinnamon-sugar churro flavour to the classic wafer snap — a genuinely different Kit Kat experience, brilliant for anyone who thinks they've tried every Kit Kat going.
Hydrate Like You Just Carved the Turkey 🧃
Thanksgiving in the US means football all day, so the drinks cabinet needs options beyond fizzy pop too:
Orange Gatorade is the proper American sports drink — electrolytes, a clean orange finish, and exactly what the NFL players on the telly are necking at half-time. ⏳ Currently down to our very last bottle, so check availability before you order.
Need a bit more of a lift before the washing up? Monster Energy Electric Blue USA is a proper import can with the flavour fans actively hunt down — nothing like the UK versions on the supermarket shelf.
👉 Shop Monster Electric Blue now →
Can't Decide? Grab a Mystery Box 🎁
If choosing is the hardest part of your Friendsgiving prep, let us do it for you. Our Mystery USA Boxes collection is a changing mix of American candy, chocolate, chips and drinks — perfect for filling out the grazing table without the decision fatigue.
The £10 American Mixed Snacks Mystery Box is a proper lucky-dip haul — great for topping up your spread the night before everyone arrives.

Hosting a bigger group? The £20 American Mixed Snacks Mystery Box doubles the haul — chocolate, chips, candy and drinks all mixed in, so there's something for every guest at the table.
