Thanksgiving Pie Coloring Page

Pumpkin pie became associated with Thanksgiving after the first harvest celebration in 1621, though early colonists actually stewed pumpkins rather than baking them in pies. The pie became a tradition in the 1700s after cookbooks published pumpkin pie recipes. Today, over 50 million pumpkin pies are consumed during Thanksgiving week in the United States alone.

Pie became a Thanksgiving dessert because it could be made ahead and stored without refrigeration, making it practical for early American families. Baking pies in a communal oven was also a way to celebrate and gather. The sweetness of pie marked the end of the meal as a special treat, symbolizing gratitude and celebration after the harvest.

The top three most popular Thanksgiving pie flavors are pumpkin, apple, and pecan. Pumpkin is the clear favorite, representing about 80 percent of pie consumption during the holiday. Pecan pie is particularly beloved in Southern states, while apple pie remains a classic choice nationwide. Some families enjoy cranberry or sweet potato pie as delicious alternatives.
