Speaking only for my limited exposure from a few parishes; I have only heard special intentions read, special blessings given and often special hymns such as God Bless America sung on holidays.

Well, for Thanksgiving Day, there’s the Order for the Blessing of Food on Thanksgiving Day within Mass:
1759 After the gospel reading, the celebrant in the homily, based on the sacred text and pertinent to the particular place and the people involved, explains the meaning of the celebration.
**
GENERAL INTERCESSIONS**
1760 The general intercessions follow, either in the form usual at Mass or in the form provided here. The celebrant concludes the intercessions with the prayer of blessing. From the following intentions those best for the occasion may be used or adapted, or other intentions that apply to the particular circumstances may be composed.
The celebrant says:
The Son of God, Who invites us to the Paschal feast, stands ready to help us. Let us call upon Him in our need.
Assisting minister:
For the Church of God, that we may never cease to give thanks for all good gifts, we pray to the Lord. R.
For the poor of the world, that we may share with them our food and material goods, we pray to the Lord. R.
For farmers and all those who provide us with our food, that we may cherish their labor and love for the land, we pray to the Lord. R.
For the world and all it contains, that God may continue to bless creation and make all things fruitful, we pray to the Lord. R.
PRAYER OF BLESSING
1761 With hands outstretched, the celebrant says the prayer of blessing:
God most provident,
we join all creation
in raising to You a hymn of thanksgiving
through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
For generation upon generation
peoples of this land have sung of Your bounty;
we too offer You praise
for the rich harvest we have received at Your hands.
Bless + us and this food which we share with grateful hearts.
Continue to make our land fruitful
and let our love for You be seen
in our pursuit of peace and justice
and in our generous response to those in need.
Praise and glory to You, Lord God, now and forever.
R. Amen.
