The holiday season has a way of humbling even the most prepared hosts - and celebrities are no exception.

Here's a look at some famous feasts that didn't exactly go as planned.

"One of my favorites was when the deep-fried turkey craze started," the Santo Tequila co-owner told Fox News Digital.

Fieri noted that he learned the technique from "a guy named Kim Gardner," who showed him how to make his first deep-fried bird. It turned out so well he wanted to make one for his family. But instead of measuring the oil properly, everything spiraled.

"Just like every video that you see on TikTok, it is a fireball of flames," he said.

The pot spilled, and the burner tipped, sending flaming oil across his patio and into the yard. "

My flip-flop is melted to the stand. So, I got one flip-flop on one flip-flop off," he added.

"Grabbed the turkey. Now it's kind of coated in some leaves and such, and I grabbed the hose, and I'm hosing the turkey off. And I'm, it was about eight in the morning, so I'm hosing the turkey off."

The reaction from inside the house was immediate. 

"There's no way in hell I'm eating that turkey," he recalled.

That's when things went up in smoke. 

"I preheated the oven to 500 degrees, then forgot to turn it down to 325," she said. "I woke up to smoke and flames."

Stewart rushed to a nearby farm, grabbed the last turkey they had, and even salvaged the stuffing from the burnt bird. Dinner was six hours late but saved.

Stewart, of course, has come a long way, sharing a photo on Instagram on Dec. 2, 2023, showing the heritage turkey she roasted for a friend's Thanksgiving buffet. 

Chrissy Teigen shared a Thanksgiving kitchen misfire in 2018.

The "Cravings" author and cookware mogul went viral after burning her sweet potato pie.

She posted a photo of the charred dessert on Instagram with the caption, "In case you are wondering why I didn't put my finished pie on my Instastory."

Teigen quickly baked a second pie and laughed it off.

In 2022, the couple tried to capture a family portrait with their seven kids. The result was pure chaos.

Caroline Bryan skipped the picture-perfect Thanksgiving and showed what hosting really looks like.

"This is what happens when I say I'll cook something on Thanksgiving," she said while lifting the ruined pan. "The whole thing… I did that."

She captioned the clip, "I hate cooking. I give up. I spilled crap everywhere! And I think my turkey weighed five pounds."

Her friend and publicist Derrian "Phreshy" Perry later posted a photo of the two posing on a staircase. Cardi had added a bra under her black Chanel dress just in time to avoid a major wardrobe malfunction.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Camilla Luddington learned the hard way that cooking a turkey from scratch isn't for everyone.

On her 2024 podcast "Call It What It Is" with co-host Jessica Capshaw, Luddington said she decided to skip her usual pre-cooked bird from Whole Foods and roast her own.

"I didn't grow up with it," the British-born actress said. "So, I just inherited all the Friendsgiving traditions around me."
