Host Friendsgiving with Partytrick x Batch

Friendsgiving is like Thanksgiving’s younger sister— both are dramatic, but Friendsgiving is a bit wilder, more extroverted, and embraces a lot more drinking. It’s the perfect time to gather friends from every part of your life for a night that feels straight out of a sitcom: filled with epic toasts, inside jokes, and endless friendship shenanigans.

This Friendsgiving, Partytrick has teamed up with Batch to make hosting easier than ever. Partytrick provides all the planning tools you need—from timed reminders and curated playlists to shoppable links for decor—so you can focus on fun, not logistics. Batch, a curated marketplace of top experiences across the U.S., lets you elevate your gathering with options like at-home hibachi chefs, private bartenders, and luxe charcuterie boards delivered right to your door. Together, we’re taking the stress out of hosting and adding a whole lot more flavor.

We’ve curated some of our favorite Batch experiences based on what your favorite sitcom might be for some epic, Friendsgiving inspiration:

Friends

Give Monica a break from the kitchen and tell Rachel to step away from the cookbook—there’ll be no trifle mix-ups this Friendsgiving. Hire a private chef and bartender from Batch to handle the meal while you relax with friends. With a restaurant-quality Thanksgiving feast, Joey might even pull out his “turkey pants” and say, “Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!”

New Girl

Whether you’d be the hunter or gatherer on the New Girl squad’s camping trip, one thing’s for sure—there’d be a lot less squabbling (and far fewer rotting dead fish) if the crew just ordered a luxury charcuterie board to the loft instead! Picture Schmidt taking a bite and saying, “This is literally the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Except maybe my Schmidt-smoked almonds. Those are next level.”

How I Met Your Mother

For those who remember the ducky tie debacle, you know the HIMYM crew had a love-hate relationship with hibachi. This year, let’s turn over a new leaf with a hibachi Friendsgiving, complete with classic tricks like the Onion Volcano and Shrimp in the Pocket. As Ted once said, “Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things”—so let's celebrate new traditions and great food with less fighting and crazy bets.
