Pokémon Go is getting a special Thanksgiving event

Players will receive double XP and Stardust between midnight UK time this Wednesday, 23rd November, until midnight on the 30th.

On that topic, we recently met with Pokémon Go developer Niantic for a chat about the game's past, present and future - and there were several hints at what might be coming next, as well as word that Niantic wanted the game to last as long as MMO king World of Warcraft.
