I started doing a little digging around and here's what I found. I have not tried any of these drinks myself and these are not my recipes.

1 oz. Malibu Rum
3/4 oz. canned pumpkin pie filling
1/2 oz. Kahlúa
2 oz. with cold milk
Mix ingredients in blender with ice and blend thoroughly; Pour into graham cracker-rimmed highball glass and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
*Sleepy Hollow Fizz*
1 1/2 oz Flor de Caña 7yr old rum
1/2 oz El Dorado 151 proof demerara rum
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz maple syrup
2 barspoon pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
Top club soda
Dry shake, shake with 3 ice cubes and strain into a tall glass. no garnish
PUMPKIN PUREE
Take one 15 oz can of Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin, add 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of ground ginger, 1/4 tsp of ground cloves and 15 oz of simple syrup and blend it all together in a blender or Cuisinart. Store in the fridge.
*Hot Rummin’ Pumpkin*
¾ oz Pumpkin Liqueur
¾ oz Jamaican dark rum
1½ oz demerara rum
4 oz cream, steaming hot
nutmeg, ground
Combine all ingredients in heated glass and top with ground nutmeg. Garnish with cinnamon stick.

I'll plug the Voodoo Priestess. Forbidden Island might have to approve you using it, as I think it might be theirs. It's what I'll be drinking!!!!

Sailor Jerry's and unfiltered apple juice. Add roast turkey and blazing fireplace. Simple, seasonal, and delicious.

Do you muddle the turkey? And doesn't the blazing fireplace make mixing difficult as well as melting the ice?

And you can add "giblets on a stick" as a garnish!

Someone needs to come up with a drink that has a turkey infused sugar syrup. Preferably with a cranberry garnish.

FWIW, a couple of weeks ago, in my usual liquor store, I saw two Hiram Walker liqueurs that look interesting, as a possible base for Thanksgiving or Christmas theme drinks: Gingerbread Liqueur and Pumpkin Spice Liqueur.
I didn't buy them (yet), so I can't testify. I just checked the HW website, and they are apparently seasonal offerings.
They've got a number of (dubious?) recipes on the website for each of the liqueurs, e.g., Gingerbread Island, Trick or Treat, et al.
I'm confident you guys could do better than most of their recipes.

Jones soda comes out with those Thanksgiving dinner sodas around this time of year. Use some of the turkey one in your holiday drinks.
