"My mom started a tradition where she makes these amazing pumpkin bars -- almost like a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting, but it’s not too spicy. In my family we travel so much and we’re constantly living in hotels, so my daughter and I have been in the living room of the hotel with powdered sugar going everywhere making this to keep up the tradition. They’re really gooey and moist," Katie told Access Hollywood.

Gigi Hadid is a big fan of making Thanksgiving desserts and says she’s the one bringing the pies to the party. Meanwhile, the rest of her family covers the main meal -- from the turkey all the way to the buttered carrots.

I love rhubarb pie, I love apple pie and pumpkin pie and blackberry pie -- but sometimes that mixes with the rhubarb into one [pie]," she told WWD. "My dad does really good stuffing and all of the meat, and my mom is the best for buttered carrots and cranberry Jell-O, or whatever you call it. Bella does dessert. Anwar just eats, and I do pie."

3. Kristen Bell

Since Kristen Bell is a vegetarian, she says tofurkey is a staple in her Thanksgiving meal. Her parents first started making it when Kristen stopped eating meat and now she continues the tradition each year.

"We put them on the floor of the laundry room or in the back of a minivan where it’s cold. We put them outside because they don’t fit in the fridge, and we eat the pies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My daughter, Tabitha, goes crazy for them," Sarah Jessica told People.

6. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner’s Thanksgiving meal tradition was started by her grandmother Exie, who always made a sweet potato pudding. The actress explained that her family carries on the tradition of the side dish -- which is practically a dessert.

Laura Prepon is always guaranteed a delicious Thanksgiving meal because her mother is a gourmet chef! Each year she makes incredible candied yams and helps deep fry the turkey.

"My mom's candied yams...She's like a gourmet chef, so she's amazing. She has these little mini marshmallows that are roasted on the top that are so good. And you know what the key is about a turkey? Deep-frying it. It's so yummy. It's the way to go," Laura shared with InStyle.

9. Tori Spelling

All of Tori Spelling’s family contribute to the meal on Thanksgiving! While Tori’s green bean bundles wrapped in bacon have become her staple item, her children have found their own specialties.

Hattie and Finn try to help but usually end up snacking the whole time. And Jack is my best taster. [Dean is] Canadian, so he introduced poutine in a fun kid-approved presentation, potato bug poutine. And he has a famous stuffing that he makes with bagels instead of bread. It’s delicious!" Tori shared with People.

10. Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari has released quite a few of her own cookbooks so she says she pulls her Thanksgiving meal ideas from her own collection of recipes!

What Nicki Minaj cooks on Thanksgiving depends on who she’s celebrating with. She once explained that she has different meal preferences depending if she’s with her American family or Trinidadian family.

"It depends on if it's an American Thanksgiving, then I'd love some collard greens, some mac and cheese, stuffing and turkey. But if it's a Trini Thanksgiving, then I want the same thing I always want, which is curry chicken, roti, oxtails. The same old thing that we always eat," Nicki said.
