The actress, whose mother is Irish and father is English, told Celebuzz that the holiday gradually became a family tradition as she grew up in New York.
"My parents didn't understand you have to cook a turkey. But finally we're coming into our own with Thanksgiving. I have tons to be thankful for this year."
The former OC star described Thanksgiving as "one of my favourite holidays".
