What do you write in a professional Thanksgiving message?
Thank them for something specific, wish them and their family a restful holiday, and stop. "Thank you for your trust and partnership this year" is fine; "thank you for your patience with the migration" is better, because it can only be sent to one client. Two or three sentences is the right length. A client who has read ten Thanksgiving emails today will remember the one that sounded like a person, and skim the rest.
When should you send it?
Tuesday or Wednesday morning of Thanksgiving week, before people sign off for the long weekend. On Wednesday afternoon many inboxes are already quiet, and on Thursday people are with their families. If your work is deadline-heavy, send it Monday so that it doesn't look like a last-minute mass email. Never send it on Friday: by then it reads like a leftover.
What goes in the subject line and the sign-off?
Keep the subject plain: "Happy Thanksgiving from [company]" or "Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving". Skip anything that looks like a promotion unless it is one. Sign off with a real person's name, not "the team": a greeting from Maya at Acme is a message, and a greeting from "Team Acme" is a newsletter. If your office will be closed, add one line at the end with the reopening day, so nobody has to email to ask.
Should you text your customers?
Only if they've agreed to hear from you by text. In the US, business texts generally need the customer's consent and an easy way to opt out, and a holiday greeting sent to a marketing list counts. If you're allowed, keep it to one line, add your business name, and send it mid-morning. An unsolicited text on the holiday itself is the fastest way to get someone to unsubscribe.
What should a manager write to the team?
Thank people for something concrete and tell them to switch off. "This year was hard and you made it look manageable" credits the people, not the company. If there's a gift, bonus or extra day off, the note that goes with it can be short, because the gift is the message. And if you say "no email until Monday", don't send any.
How casual can it be with colleagues?
As casual as you already are. A colleague you eat lunch with can get a joke about pie and a real thank-you. Someone from another department gets a plain, warm line. A one-to-one note to the people who helped you most this year is worth more than a group message everyone will scroll past.
What if your clients or team are outside the US?
Thanksgiving is an American holiday, and Canada's falls in October, so a note to international clients can read as an assumption. Wish the people who celebrate, and add a general line for everyone else: "Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating, and warm wishes for the season to everyone else." Most people are glad to be included, and nobody minds being left out of a turkey.
What do you write to your boss?
Something short and specific: thank them for one thing they did this year. "Thank you for backing the team, especially in the busy stretches" is honest without sounding like flattery. Skip jokes unless your relationship is already easy, and keep religion and politics out of it.

Questions
Before you send it
What is a good professional Thanksgiving message?
"Wishing you and your family a warm Thanksgiving. Thank you for your trust and partnership this year." Short, specific to the relationship and free of sales language.
What do you write to clients on Thanksgiving?
Thank them for something specific, wish them a restful holiday, and stop. Send it on Tuesday or Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, and sign it with a person's name.
What do you write to employees on Thanksgiving?
"Thank you for everything you've put into this year. Enjoy the long weekend. You've earned it." Name something the team did, then tell them to log off.
What do you write to a coworker on Thanksgiving?
"Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for being the colleague who makes the hard days easier." Match the joke level to how well you know them.
What is a good Thanksgiving email subject line for clients?
"Happy Thanksgiving from [company]" or "Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving". Plain wins, and anything that looks like a promotion gets skipped.
When should you send a Thanksgiving message to clients?
Tuesday or Wednesday morning of Thanksgiving week. Earlier if your industry is deadline-heavy, never on the Friday after.
How do you announce a Thanksgiving office closure?
One line at the end of the greeting: "We're closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving and will reopen Monday." Give the reopening day so clients know when to expect a reply.
