I'd say no given that I virtually have the same meal on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. But I'd say that outside those two days I never really have most of the stuff - yams, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, stuffing.
I think dressing is the one item consumed only at Thanksgiving - although I occasionally make myself a small amount of it for myself from Stouffer's mix (I like dressing very simple with lots of sage). But for me, T-Day is the only time I eat turkey. Oh, and cranberry sauce is another one.
Stuffing and cranberry sauce are two items we eat pretty much on Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving only. I know that many folks eat a lot of same things for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, but my immediate family isn't Christian so that doesn't apply to us.
I make a strawberry pretzel jello dessert and I only serve it on Thanksgiving. Everyone likes it, and it would probably work well in the summer months too, but I only make it on Thanksgiving.

I'll make pecan pie on christmas, too (or make 2 for turkey day and freeze the second). Ditto for stuffing, only those two holidays, even if I cook a turkey at another time.
If we go to my brother's house, he makes yams and green bean casserole. I'm not a fan of either, so don't ever make them.
Spent this thanksgiving with friends, who made a HUGE meal for only 6 adults and 2 small kids. There were 2 different cabbage salads, 2 kinds of potatoes, 2 kinds of stuffing (I brought both), green bean casserole, pasta salad, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. More food was left over than eaten, and our hostess tried to get us to come over on Friday to eat more. But then she was exhausted and cancelled the invite (yay! I wanted to stay home).
Same here! And if it wasn't going to be a large dinner crowd the turkey was frequently replaced with a capon.
This should have been my answer. I forgot that we had only one turkey a year. I haven't cooked or eaten turkey in years.
