Many specials this weekend will air on NBC, CBS, Hallmark channel or ABC. If you have cable (or a digital TV antenna like this one from Amazon), you can watch them all on TV through your local network affiliate.
If you’ve cut the cord, a variety of networks can also be streamed using SlingTV, fuboTV, or Hulu + Live TV. All of these services offer free trials, which will allow you to watch the Thanksgiving fun for free online without cable.
