Hey there, friends! You know Kelly Ripa, right? She's the one who keeps us entertained with her charm on "Live! With Kelly and Ryan." Well, it turns out that this Thanksgiving, she’s decided to take a break from the kitchen. According to Entertainment Tonight, Kelly revealed on Monday, November 12, that she’s not even attempting to cook this year. And let me tell you, it’s all because of a past cooking disaster that left her feeling like it’s time for a change.
Let me set the scene for you: Kelly, who is now 48 years young, shared that her house has become the go-to spot for anyone without a place to celebrate Thanksgiving. It all started about a decade ago during a snowstorm. "I’m not even joking," Kelly said with a laugh. "My house turned into the refuge for anyone stranded by bad weather. We had friends stuck because of the snow, and we just couldn’t leave them out in the cold.”

Now, here’s the kicker. Kelly shared a story about a particularly challenging Thanksgiving experience. “The back half of our oven wasn’t working,” she explained. “We ended up with half a raw turkey and the other half so dry it could’ve passed for sawdust. At that moment, I made a promise: ‘If we’re going to host Thanksgiving every year, I’m bringing in reinforcements!’” This year, Kelly is showing up like an honored guest, ready to enjoy the feast without the stress of cooking.
What’s on the Menu?
But don’t worry, Kelly’s family won’t go hungry. Thankfully, most of them prefer protein alternatives and other dishes. Her son, Joaquin, who’s 15, is all about the sage and butter pork chop. “He loves it so much!” Kelly said with pride. Meanwhile, her 17-year-old daughter, Lola, has a sweet tooth for mashed potatoes—both regular and sweet. “We’re all about mashed anything and carbs,” Kelly joked. “It’s a family tradition.”
Ryan Seacrest’s Thanksgiving Plans
On the other side of the hosting desk, Ryan Seacrest also shared his Thanksgiving plans. He joked with ET that he’d ship his family off to Kelly’s house this year. But in all seriousness, Ryan is super excited about his sister Meredith visiting. “My sister’s about to have a baby, so this is her last chance to travel,” Ryan said. “We’re thrilled she’s coming. She’s even been testing out some new recipes.” Ryan admitted that in the past, his turkey had a minor meltdown—catching fire on the grill—but they’ve since recovered and are ready to serve up a delicious meal.
Live’s Thanksgiving Feast: Family Edition
It’s no secret that Kelly and Ryan love to celebrate the holidays in style. Their segment, "Live’s Thanksgiving Feast: Family Edition," invites extended members of the "Live" family to cook on the show. “It all began with the moms coming in and cooking years ago—not my mom, obviously, but my mother-in-law,” Kelly explained. “Then we decided to expand beyond just the moms.” This year, her son Joaquin is set to make a special guest appearance, adding a fun twist to the holiday celebration.
