We've seen the popularity of the Gulf Coast increase over the 20 or so years we've been visiting. Our summer months weren't that popular for US visitors 10 years ago but that's changed and it's really quite busy these days.
Thanksgiving has always been popular there and we enjoyed it but to be completely honest we had a run of disappointing weather in late November/early December and don't leave it that late now. The shorter days mean that it doesn't really warm up until mid morning and as it gets dark around 5 pm even on a sunny day the high temperatures don't last long. For sure, the average daytime high looks very attractive but it's normally only reached for an hour or so each day. Much warmer than the UK of course but I could never recommend that time of year for a soaking up the sun holiday.
