“The Thanksgiving Text,” to be released next year on Netflix, will tell the story of the accidental Thanksgiving text that had the whole internet believing in holiday magic.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the story, back in 2016, Wanda Dench was getting her Thanksgiving guest list together via text message. She accidentally sent an invite to a perfect stranger, Jamal Hinton. When the high school senior asked who it was, Dench simply responded “Your grandma.”
The two quickly realized there had been a mix-up, but when Hinton jokingly asked if he could “still get a plate tho,” Dench responded, “Of course you can. That’s what grandma’s do...Feed every one.”
