If you own a Samsung Frame TV, you already know the trick. Art Mode turns a 90-lb black rectangle into something that looks like it belongs on the wall. The catch is that most people set it once and forget it, which is a shame in November: Thanksgiving is one of the easiest seasons to decorate for, because “autumn” is basically already a design aesthetic. A turkey, a cornucopia, a harvest table, some warm rust-and-gold tones, and you can swap your Frame TV over to one of these for the week your in-laws are in the living room so the TV stops looking like a TV.
Below are eight Frame TV art pieces built specifically for the format (3840 x 2160, 16:9, the same aspect ratio and resolution as the Frame’s screen), each sold as an instant digital download. We picked these for scene variety as much as popularity, so there’s something here whether your living room leans rustic farmhouse or you just want a tasteful turkey and nothing twee.
The picks
This is the one to start with if you only add a single new piece this November. It’s a painterly turkey set against a warm autumn table scene, the kind of image that reads as art from across the room, not clip art. Works well in a living room or open-plan kitchen-diner where the TV is the main wall feature during a holiday meal.

A softer, more old-fashioned take: think an antique-style oil painting of a feast table rather than a modern illustration. Good if your existing decor already has antique or farmhouse touches and you want the TV art to match rather than stand out.

Leans cottagecore: a softer palette with more floral detail around the bird. Suits a smaller den or bedroom TV where you want something cozy rather than a statement piece.

If you like to rotate art through the season instead of picking one image, this is a small set rather than a single file, useful for anyone who runs their Frame TV on a slideshow and wants two or three Thanksgiving scenes in the mix instead of just one.

A wider scene, turkey family plus pumpkins rather than a single bird portrait, so it reads a little busier and more “harvest table” than the others. Good choice if your TV sits above a mantel or sideboard you’re also dressing with real pumpkins and gourds; the art can echo what’s already on the surface below.

This one is closer to a still life: a roasted turkey with floral styling, more table-centerpiece painting than turkey portrait. Nice if you want something that reads as generically autumnal rather than overtly Thanksgiving, so it doesn’t look out of place if it’s still up in early December.

A playful, slightly cartoonish turkey-in-an-apron kitchen scene. This is the pick for a kitchen or breakfast-nook Frame TV, or for a household with kids who want something a bit more fun than a straight still life.

A cottagecore-leaning fall scene built around pumpkins with the turkey as a secondary element, a good supporting piece if you’re rotating two or three images and want one that isn’t turkey-forward.

How to actually display Frame TV art (the format basics)
A quick note for anyone newer to the Frame: art files for these TVs need to match the screen’s native resolution and aspect ratio to fill the frame properly without stretching or letterboxing. That’s 3840 x 2160 pixels, 16:9. Every file above is sized to that spec.
Getting the art onto the TV itself is usually one of three routes: – The SmartThings/Samsung Art Store app on your phone, which lets you upload your own images to Art Mode directly. – A USB drive, if you’d rather not deal with an app: plug it in, select the image from the TV’s own menu. – Art Mode’s slideshow setting, if you want to rotate through several Thanksgiving pieces instead of committing to one, handy if you picked up the bundle above.
One practical tip: check the file’s color temperature against your room lighting before the day itself. Warm, rust-toned art (most of the picks above) tends to look richer under warm bulbs and slightly washed out under cool white LEDs, a five-minute test the week before saves a surprise on the day.
FAQ
Do I need a subscription to use custom art on my Frame TV? No. Samsung’s Art Store subscription unlocks their curated art library, but uploading your own purchased images through the SmartThings app or a USB drive doesn’t require any subscription. You’re just loading a file you already own.
What resolution should Thanksgiving Frame TV art be? 3840 x 2160 (4K), 16:9 aspect ratio. That’s the Frame’s native panel resolution, so anything sized to it fills the screen edge-to-edge without the TV having to upscale or crop it.
Can I use the same art on a non-Frame Samsung TV, or a different brand? Yes. These are just standard image files (JPG/PNG at 4K resolution), so they work as a desktop wallpaper, a digital photo frame image, or on any TV or display that supports viewing a photo from USB or an app. The “Frame TV” sizing just means it’s built for that aspect ratio and resolution specifically.
How far ahead should I set up Thanksgiving art on my Frame TV? Any time after Halloween decor comes down works fine; there’s no reason to wait for the week of. Loading it in early November also gives you time to double-check it looks right in your actual room lighting, per the tip above.
