Thanksgiving is just around the corner and if you’re like me, that means more than just one day of celebrating.

I’m a pro at Friendsgiving. So, here are three quick and easy ways to take your Thanksgiving dinner party to the next level—including everyone’s favorite festive drink: Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry.

Roasted veggies

We all know and love the classic Thanksgiving sides but if I’m being honest, a lot of them can be a little one-note.

Whether it’s dressing or mac n’ cheese, the typical Thanksgiving plate has a lot of heavy, starchy sides on it.

For an easy side that adds color and contrast to your plate, select one or two of your favorite vegetables. Dice them up and roast them in a tray with the seasonings of your choice and voila! Now you’ve added some much-needed diversity to your Thanksgiving spread.

Bring some Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry to your get-together. It offers a refreshing drink option with a touch of those classic holiday flavors.

My fridge is stocked full of this bubbly, festive drink and my friends and I can’t get enough of it.

We had to get some fresh cranberries for our glasses to add to an already perfect drink.

Mashed potatoes

It may sound deceptively simple, but there’s no easier way to become the hero of the party than by showing up with everyone’s favorite comfort food: potatoes.

We opted for mashed (my personal favorite) for our Friendsgiving dinner and it was a hit.
