  • The Airbnb stay includes participation in traditional Thanksgiving festivities complete with holiday dishes, board games, and a special selfie tradition that Dench and Hinton partake in year after year.
  • Airbnb will also make a one-time donation to Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the U.S., helping to support the 32 million Americans facing hunger every year.
  • The Tradition has continued over the years and has grown to symbolize a beacon of positivity, showing true connection and friendship can happen in unexpected ways.
