"Thanksgiving (Canada)" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American thriller drama television series Yellowjackets. It is the 25th overall episode of the series and was written by Libby Hill and Emily St. James, and directed by Pete Chatmon. It aired on Showtime on March 16, 2025, but it was available to stream two days earlier on Paramount+ with Showtime.

The series follows a New Jersey high school girls' soccer team that travels to Seattle for a national tournament in 1996. While flying over Canada, their plane crashes deep in the wilderness, and the surviving team members are left stranded for nineteen months. The series chronicles their attempts to stay alive as some of the team members are driven to cannibalism. It also focuses on the lives of the survivors 25 years later in 2021, as the events of their ordeal continue to affect them many years after their rescue. In the episode, Shauna finds that someone is threatening her family, while Misty continues her investigation. Flashbacks depict Ben's hunger strike, and the group's efforts to keep him alive.

The episode received highly positive reviews from critics, who praised the flashback sequences, closure to Ben's story arc and cliffhanger.
