Pictured above is the doodle that Google decided to feature on its homepage in honor of Thanksgiving 2016. It is the latest in a long line of Thanksgiving doodles that have been showcased on Google.com over the years.
Let’s take a look back in time and uncover the Thanksgiving doodles that Google came up with for the past 10 years. You’re in for a treat!
Thanksgiving 2015
"This papercraft doodle, colorfully constructed by guest artist Julia Cone, brings to life the 'Three Sisters' of North America’s native agriculture: corn, beans, and squash,” says the doodle’s official description. "While it’s common to see the Sisters at today’s Thanksgiving tables, these crops prospered through thousands of years of careful domestication."
Thanksgiving 2014
An animated doodle that presents a funny looking turkey wearing a blue hat.
Thanksgiving 2013
In 2013, Google showcased a bite-sized animated film featuring a motley crew of woodland creatures that get together for a Thanksgiving feast. The fox learns that everyone has something they can bring to the table.
Thanksgiving 2012
Obviously, this doodle is inspired by the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Thanksgiving 2011
In 2011, Google came up with a Thanksgiving doodle inspired by the popular and nostalgic hand turkey. The interactive version lets you change the way the turkey looks like. Once you’re done, you can share your customized turkey with others.

Thanksgiving 2009
Happy Thanksgiving 2009 from Snoopy on Charles M. Schulz's birthday.
Thanksgiving 2008
One month before Thanksgiving 2008. That’s when I joined the FindMySoft team. Can’t believe 8 years have gone by so quickly.
Thanksgiving 2007
If you zoom in and look carefully, you’ll see that the two turkeys are feasting on some veggies. They’re definitely not cannibals.
Thanksgiving 2006
Not sure about this turkey though. He definitely gorged himself, but we don’t know with what.
The first Thanksgiving doodle
Google posted its very first doodle back in September 1998, when Larry Page and Sergey Brin went to the Burning Man festival and they needed a way to tell the world they’re "out of office."
In November 1998, Google posted its very first Thanksgiving doodle. It looked like this.
This means that that Thanksgiving is the first holiday that got a special Google doodle. It also means that Thanksgiving is the longest running holiday that Google honors with a special doodle.
