How does Donna Kelce do Thanksgiving?
Travis Kelce’s mom gave Us Weekly insight into her family’s holiday celebration in an interview published Wednesday.
The matriarch admitted that she’s “not a good cooker” and plans to bake cinnamon rolls instead.
“They’re always my favorite, my go-to,” the 71-year-old said. “I only can do it a couple [of] times a year because they’re so sugary. So we’ve got rolls, we have muffins, cookies, things like that.”
Donna added that her loved ones will “go get a ham” as they are “not particularly fond of turkey.”
Her menu breakdown came on the heels of Travis, 34, admitting he will be spending the holiday alone as Taylor Swift remains in Brazil.
“I’ll be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here,” the NFL player said on Wednesday’s episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
Jason, who lives in Pennsylvania with wife Kylie Kelcie and daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 8 months, subsequently invited his sibling to their Thanksgiving.
“If you want to make a quick trip you’re welcome at the house,” the Philadelphia Eagles player, 36, said. “We’ll have plenty of food.”
Jason noted that Travis is usually a “super picky” eater and would end the holiday “in tears” as a kid while dad Ed Kelce “screamed” at him to finish his plate.
As for the food the “Catching Kelce” alum does enjoy now, he said he would miss eating mac and cheese, ham and his mom’s rolls.

While the brothers reminisced on playing pickup football games after their Thanksgiving meal, Donna told Us Weekly they often made puzzles, pulled out board games or competed in Mario Bros. video games.
She said that the holiday could be “rough” when traveling for sports or spending time apart from her sons.
Travis, who lives in Missouri, was rumored be ringing in Thanksgiving with Swift, who he has been romantically linked to since September.
However, the Grammy-winning singer is seemingly staying in South America for her Eras Tour as she flew to São Paulo on Tuesday. She will kick off performances there on Friday.

The performer’s decision to stay was last-minute due to her heavy emotions over a concertgoer’s death last week, a source told Page Six.
“It’s a mess she didn’t expect,” the insider said. “It’s been a traumatic experience. It’s been a lot.”
According to Us Weekly, Travis has been acting as a “huge support” to Swift in the wake of the tragedy — even as he is down on his own loss against Jason’s team on Sunday.
“She is so grateful,” the outlet reported. “Her family has been there, but it’s different to have a boyfriend to lean on.”
