Listen. Using a mix or two isn't cheating... it's SMART! Time management for Thanksgiving cooking is hard. Everything looks like it turned out beautifully. 😊❤👍

I have been looking forward to this video since Thanksgiving Eve! I love your home videos. Thank you for taking the time in your hectic holiday to video it for us. It is truly appreciated. Martha would be so proud of your attention to detail. I do not know how both of you do it and you seem so calm. It takes so much effort to put together what y’all do. It’s truly a work of art. Bravo 👏.

Mike love your videos and especially Thanksgiving. I am the cook in our family and I wanted to share with you that I make the most delicious carrot souffle that is good for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Let me know if you would like the recipe. It is delicious and a BIG hit.

[@Mangomartinisful]

Thankful for the magic dads! Thank you for sharing your family with us. Happy thanksgiving!

[@TheMagicDads]

Thanks!

[@stacyscooby8488]

you are welcome @@TheMagicDads

[@irisjones6636]

gorgeous all the way around. Happy Holidays to you

[@mowikQ22]

Enjoyed this. Your food and table looked beautiful Mike! We fired up Miracle, the 90’s version, right after I watched this. Loved it!

[@beckypiel345]

Mike, beautiful Thanksgiving, as always, when you cook…..you might check your Thanksgiving video from last year and see if it sparks your memory!

[@TheMagicDads]

I know, I should!!! Lol. Thanks 😊

[@jimmysasser2449]

Love watching the different recipes! I have some of the Disney cookbooks and have been making some of those for the family.

[@tracylandry3821]

Looks so amazing and delicious. I'm a chef, but do not want to cook on Thanksgiving. Our family got Whole Foods take out feast...such a let down. We're struggling to eat the leftovers. Never again. You did it right. All smart chefs know which short cuts to take and which to avoid. You did amazing Mike, kudos to you! Nice bar set up too, I got the cocktail smoker during lockdown and LOVE it, it works well for cheese too. Happy Holidays from my family to yours 💞

[@Used2flyn]

What a beautiful table, perfect food, and that Turkey puts Martha to shame! The make your own drink station is genius. Your home and parties always look so inviting. When I can’t find a place for dry cleaned linens I always hang them on the rod of a coat closet or the end of any convenient closet with good intentions to put them away later. I’m sure you have already checked closet rods but that’s my 2¢. I hope you find them. 🍁

[@TheMagicDads]

Haha, after seeing this comment I went and looked on the hook on the back of our laundry room door: not there. Thanks for the tip tho!!

[@Used2flyn]

The one sure way to have your Thanksgiving linens magically appear next November is to replace them right now on sale, then you’ll find them! But I’m invested now so please update us! 😋

[@JM-qk5gs]

❤

[@dianefehring5626]

I'm guessing you made some donations and the linens accidentally got mixed in. It looked beautiful as usual. Love you guys so much! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤

[@bababooey9424]

I lost a complete set of dishes that was given to me from my mom! They were dark, brown and orange, so unique and I always wish for them. I still long for them and who knows where they ever went. I’m so sorry about your linens. How frustrating.

[@deniseblackburn33]

Nice

[@robertvarley8740]

I've been waiting for this! I hosted for the first time this year and it went great. Hope you all had a great time!

[@TheMagicDads]

That's awesome!

[@willstegall2527]

Everything looked amazing!! Steve, 100% stealing your cocktail bar idea.

[@TheMagicDads]

Thank you!! 😊

[@catski23]

Looks like you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving & holiday weekend. Hope you enjoyed the Homemade Mac & Cheese from Martha Stewart?!? Our family has been making it for years… We usually make 2 completely different batches, because my sister isn’t a fan of the Gruyère. We usually substitute it with Pepper Jack; for a bit of a kick 🥰❤️🧀

[@ktancrelle7312]

Happy Thanksgiving! Everything looked amazing. What did you do for sides. It was plentiful and elegant. I always feel like ai make too much. Great vlog and thanks for sharing with us!

[@Nicolesrq3]

🤩 Mike & Steve you are the ultimate hosts! Everything is gorgeous and looked delicious! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@Nicolesrq3]

Hey Mike, I live that hurricane on your table, is that from William Sonoma

[@allison6954]

I’m wondering if you threw the tablecloth’s in a random bin. I know last year you guys went right from Thanksgiving to Disney. I wonder if it was thrown into a Christmas bin perhaps ? I’d check random bins !

[@TheMagicDads]

Good idea! Thank you!!

[@amyw8056]

My guess is the table cloth was put in with Christmas items last year. Let us know if you find it.
