Following this year's Treehouse of Horror (also known as The Simpsons' Halloween special), the animated series will be back with more horror stories as the family prepares for their annual Thanksgiving Day.

This year, the Simpsons' Thanksgiving literally turns into a nightmare when they are faced with some unexpected obstacles, "including the first Thanksgiving, an artificial intelligence mishap and a dangerous space mission complicated by a sentient cranberry sauce", as per the official synopsis of the episode.
