Prince William, Tom Brady, Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway top list

MIAMI BEACH, FL, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ - The start of holiday season is upon us and, for many single online daters, that means spending Thanksgiving dinner surrounded by family and friends and the constant reminder that they came home stag. At Avalanche, LLC, owner of leading online dating sites Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com, we wondered which celebrity our singles thought would make the best impression as a dinner date.

"We weren't surprised that George Clooney and Jennifer Aniston topped the list of ideal dinner dates for Thanksgiving as they truly represent Hollywood Royalty; both are sophisticated, charitable, gorgeous, fascinating and worldly, and could make any relative jealous while charming even the grouchiest Grandparent," said Shira Zwebner, Relationship Advisor for Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com. "We expected that the future King of England as a dinner companion would rank high on the list, but were shocked to see that the popular Material Girl was outranked by some of Hollywood's newest leading ladies."

In a new survey of thousands of singles nationwide, we asked: You're Single this Thanksgiving and, if you could bring any celebrity home to have dinner with your entire family, who would it be?

    Following are the complete results:
