A good drink to go with this mix might be a cranberry cocktail or a mix of peanut butter and cranberry drink. Another good food would be green bean casserole over cornbread.

Cornbread covered with cream of turkey is another good mix to go with the green bean casserole cocktail. Turkey stuffing with mashed potatoes and gravy is a delicious mix. Any drink could go with these foods it just depends on the person who is eating the meal.

If someone wants to get really creative, they may make a cheese ball in the shape of a turkey with a variety of vegetables on the side. The drink that someone might choose for this would be wine. The wine would depend on the person who was eating the food as well. My favorites for the holiday meal would include turkey and pumpkin pie.
