Maybe it\u2019s all the fantastic restaurants that are open<\/a>. Or the fact that you can find so many free and cheap meals<\/a> for the holiday. Or that this is home to seven of the country\u2019s coziest cities<\/a> \u2014 North Texas is officially the best pocket of the country to spend Thanksgiving in, according to a new study<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n WalletHub, a personal finance company, says three cities in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area are the most ideal places to cut the turkey this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n The high rankings aren\u2019t exactly surprising on the heels of the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s indication that 2025 is expected to be the busiest time for Thanksgiving travel in 15 years. The behemoth that is DFW Airport is expected to see some of the highest flight traffic in the nation<\/a> this year. <\/p>\n WalletHub says the metrics for this year\u2019s ranking include factors like affordability, celebrations and traditions, safety and accessibility, giving thanks and weather forecast.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Dallas. We\u2019re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. You\u2019d think that last one would flank our scores given that it\u2019s not uncommon for it to feel like Summer: The Sequel on Thanksgiving here. Still, Dallas and two of its suburbs made the top 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe best cities for celebrating Thanksgiving all have an abundance of high-quality restaurants and places to buy festive decorations,\u201d WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said in a statement. \u201cAnd their residents get very excited for the holiday based on their Google search history.<\/p>\n Though Dallas is among the top five, largely due to its high marks for the holiday\u2019s \u201ccelebrations and traditions\u201d category (at least we have one semblance of consistency to thank the Dallas Cowboys for), it scored a rank of 28 for affordability and landed at a dismaying No. 96 for safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n Irving follows close behind in sixth place \u2014 this one doesn\u2019t exactly seem like it would have amassed a national reputation for being a holiday hotspot, but there are so many damn-good eats over there<\/a>, and this is a holiday literally founded on food, after all. Sanjh on N. O\u2019Connor Blvd is open for an Indian-fusion buffet brunch<\/a> on Thursday, by the way. <\/p>\n Plano, which was also just named one of the best places to live in Texas<\/a>, ranks at No. 7 overall. It scored quite high for the affordability, safety and giving thanks categories.<\/p>\n
Help us continue giving back to Dallas.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/wallethub-thanksgiving.jpg\")
