Is happy Thanksgiving capitalized?

“Happy Thanksgiving” is capitalized when it is used as an exclamation (e.g., “Happy Thanksgiving, Mom!”). However, when you use the phrase in the middle of a sentence, “happy” is not capitalized but “Thanksgiving” is because it is a proper noun (e.g., “She wished me a happy Thanksgiving”).

Often, Thanksgiving messages will begin with the capitalized exclamation “Happy Thanksgiving!”
