It has officially been five years since the start of the 2020 COVID pandemic that left many people across the world isolated over the holidays that year and possibly even a few years after that, based on the trauma and tragedies that were experienced then. Coupled with that was also families losing a lot of their matriarchs and patriarchs, making the holiday feel a bit less family-focused. 

However, this year, it seems a lot of families have found their communal spark again and have gathered for intimate celebrations, which is really heartwarming to see, especially when it comes to our favorite celebs. Many of them shared their family gathering with us, showing off full plates and bellies, tender moments of “the ‘itis,” and hilarious attempts at the latest TikTok trends. Several stars used their platforms to spotlight local restaurants or food drives, connecting celebration with community care.

This gallery is a collection of those moments. You’ll see Kandi Burruss posted up with her family, Jamie Foxx cheffing it up in the kitchen, Bresha Webb serving up the full meal, and Megan Thee Stallion booking an entire catering gig for her man Klay Thompson’s whole entire family.

Yes, the Hot Girl in charge took it upon herself to make everything that you’ll soon see on her Thanksgiving table, from the turkey to the mac and cheese to the stuffing and everything in between. Klay’s father, Mychal Thompson confirmed Meg would be cooking for the fam during a radio appearance, and the couple’s public moments over the past months have repeatedly leaned into the idea that food and care are part of their bond. Klay has even praised Meg as a “great cook,” noting dishes she’s made for him often. 

Food is a love language! Check out these star-studded, heartwarming Thanksgiving celebrations!
