Pilgrim Travels figures in the snow

If ever there were a celebrity pair to symbolize Thanksgiving in Publix-operated states, it would be The Pilgrims. These little shakers have moseyed their way into our homes (and hearts) over the years, and the holiday season just isn’t the same without them.

 

The best part about The Pilgrims? Wherever you go, you take them along — and we get to see the amazing adventures. Check out these 15 times the Publix Pilgrims traveled the world.
