The countdown to Thanksgiving is already ticking down, and with less than a month to go, it's time to start preparing for the feast. Even though you may have your menu all set with classic family recipes, seeing some of Cooking Channel's stars' dinners may inspire you to try something new this turkey day.

This year, we have two specials premiering — one with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, and one with Rev Run and his family — showing two very different over-the-top suppers. Throughout November, you can also find out the secrets behind canned cranberry sauce on Unwrapped and revisit Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos' Extra Virgin Thanksgiving.

Check out all of our holiday programming below, and prep with our best Thanksgiving recipes while you're at it.
