Three Thanksgiving Seasons
Each one dresses the signature you already have. Your layout, details and links stay exactly as they are.
Falling leaves
A garland of maple, oak and elm leaves rustles along the top, and a copper Happy Thanksgiving with a swaying sprig sits under your details.
A round photo gets a crescent of leaves on a copper ring. Any other shape gets a spray of leaves, wheat and acorns in its corner.
Harvest moon
A dusk banner under your details: geese crossing a rising moon over a red barn and hay bales, with Happy Thanksgiving and GRATEFUL FOR YOU.
Leaves drift down both sides of your photo in late light, clear of your face.
The feast
GIVE THANKS pennants sway along the top, and the table is set underneath: a cornucopia, a steaming turkey, a pie with a slice cut and candles that flicker.
A round photo wears a roast turkey as a hat, set on your head. Any other shape has a turkey peeking up from its corner.
The accent colour and the dividers take the holiday’s colours too, and come back as they were when you turn the Season off.
When to add a Thanksgiving email signature
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, in 2026. Dress your signature for the week of it.
| Occasion | Put it on | Take it off |
|---|---|---|
| Thanksgiving, November 26 | The Monday before, November 23 | The Monday after, November 30 |
| The office closed Thursday and Friday | The week before | When you are back |
In Canada, Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October: October 12 in 2026 and October 11 in 2027.
Gmail and Outlook keep more than one signature, so you can save the Thanksgiving one beside your usual one and switch back with a click. The guides show how to change your signature in Outlook and in Gmail.
How to add it to your email
A minute or two, in the free Editor.

FAQ
Thanksgiving signatures
When should I add a Thanksgiving email signature?
The Monday before Thanksgiving, November 23 in 2026, and take it off the Monday after, November 30. A week is long enough to be warm and short enough not to wear out in every reply.
What should a Thanksgiving email signature say?
Very little. Falling leaves and Harvest moon already say Happy Thanksgiving, so your details can stay as they are. If you are away, add one line under them, such as Our office is closed November 26 and 27.
Will the animation play in Gmail and Outlook?
Yes in Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook on the web, the new Outlook and the Outlook and Gmail phone apps. Older versions of Outlook for Windows show only the first frame of a GIF, so every Season's first frame is a finished picture: it still looks dressed, just still.
Does it work with my template?
Yes. A Season dresses every template at every size. Your layout, details and links stay exactly as they are; only the accent, the dividers, the art above and below and your photo change.
Can I turn it off after the holiday?
Yes. Turn the Season off in the Editor and your signature is back as it was, colours and photo included. Copy it again and paste it over the holiday one, or keep both saved in your email app and switch back.
Is it free?
Trying is free, with no account: turn a Season on in the gallery or the Editor and see it on your own signature. Copying a signature in a Season takes the Signature plan, a one-time purchase that also copies the Pro Templates. Without it, the free holiday banner maker puts a greeting under any signature.
What happens to my photo?
To set a hat on your head, esigna finds where your head is in your photo on its server. The preview you see is drawn and sent straight back, kept nowhere. When you copy, the dressed photo is kept online with your account, so your email can show it.
