And finally, it’s dessert time. For most, that means pie, pie, and more pie. Pumpkin pie, in particular, is a favorite during Thanksgiving. A 2024 YouGov poll found that 29 percent of US adults prefer pumpkin pie, with pecan, apple, sweet potato, and chocolate rounding out the top five Thanksgiving pies. 

Instacart purchase data backs this up. Last year, the day before Thanksgiving “saw an incredible surge in pie orders across the country as people stocked up for their big feast,” the grocery platform notes. “Pumpkin pie reigned as the undisputed Thanksgiving champion, with apple pie and pecan pie rounding out the top three.”
