Chabad doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving though. They don't even celebrate Yom Ha'Atzmaut. Instead they read Tachanun on Yom Ha'Atzmaut. They have their own holiday which falls out one week before the night of Thanksgiving this year. The 19th and 20th of Kislev is the Hasidic New Year for Chabad.

This year I will be celebrating Chanukah on the evening before Thanksgiving with my Chabad Rabbi...
