Practicing should help. Thanksgiving will be full of people that I know.
I could simply ask them what they are doing for the holidays? and then ask them about their families and their traditions. or what are their favorite foods they like at christmas? This should keep them talking.

Yes!
You've got this. And you can talk about yourself so you are not only listening but engaging too. People do care what you have to say.
The only thing is that some families are divided politically and
do not look forward to the holidays or are planning on having
smaller meals /fewer relatives.
