- WOW THIS VIDEO IS LONG BUT I SWEAR IT'S WORTH IT!
Hi guys! So if you're following me on instagram
( / meghanrienks AKA go do it )
then you've probably seen me post stories about cooking, baking, hosting, decor & all that stuff. I've only been sharing those things on instagram, until NOW! I always get so many question from you guys asking for advice on hosting or throwing parties/dinners & I thought it was finally time to tackle it!
I LOVE hosting & having people over #TeamHomebody
but it can totally seem like a scary or overwhelming thing to do for the first time as a fake adult- BUT FEAR NO LONGER! Today I'm showing you guys how I planned, prepped & hosted my first holiday dinner!

I really hope this video inspires you to host some friends for a dinner or event sometime soon! & if you use any of these tips, or recipes, show me on social with #HostingWithMeghan or #BakingWithMeghan
MASSIVE thank you to Aislinn for filming all of this & helping me!

1) Meghan and Mats are complete relationship goals
2) Aislinn is such a great friend, I'm so happy Meghan has her in her life!
3) This video made me so hungry
4) I also aspire to be this extra someday because dang girl, this is so freaking impressive
5) I love a genuinely happy Meghan!! :)
this was the most satisfying thing to watch
i totally agree.
Can I just say that I miss your vlogmas videos so dang much.
Seriously. Meghan was QUEEN of vlogmas.
me: *is in high school, can barely cook ramen noodles*
also me: *oh shit I gotta do this*
Samantha Martin ok me
current mood
After watching this I'm genuinely so proud of Meghan holy crap lol
Meghan, please please please could you do a furnished house tour? Like literally between this video and the holiday decorating video, I am OBSESSED with all of your decor. Like um hello, that bar area in the back looks to die for!? That mirror above your fireplace!? Like I swear, your house doesn't even have to be neat; I will watch that tour a million times over just because your taste is impeccable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This. Is. Incredible.
I'm not even just saying this. That's so fucking nice of you to make this much food for your friends even though you can't eat most of it. Like honestly. Not even this much food. But the amount of time you take into each dish is insane! I wish I had a friend like you!
I have watched this every fall when it's too early for Christmas but I want holidays vibes It has become a fall comfort 😊
Okay Meghan.... We need a cookbook like now!!!!! Chef it up baby!!!!
28 minutes is still too short! lol I'm ready for a full hour with Meghan.
MEGHAN you are GOALS. Literally. You are a freaking Girlboss. You killed thanksgiving, you go girl!!
lowkey can you post your whole schedule and menu ?? would love to see it omgg
Hope Lauren yes please Meghan :)
"- Ouuuuh you look so good in this kitchen...
- That's sexist...!"
I LOVE YOU SO DAMN MUCH MEGAN
i know this is 2 years old but i reference this video so much, anytime I'm planning a dinner or something i come back to this video
chef meghan is here!!!!
Meghan you are a great mix of: Monica Geller, Iliza Shlesinger, Nicole Curtis, Giada De Laurentiis, and a bit of a stereotypical wife from the 1950’s. The world (and especially Mats) is very lucky. Thanks!
this really makes me wanna throw a big holiday dinner but i’m 16 and have like 3 friends lol
I love your content it is so different than other youtubers who make the same trendy things, but you make what you want and love and it shows. It actually worth watching and i learned a lot from this video thank you
Meghan, I don't know how you got me to watch a half an hour long video about Thanksgiving dinner in December on a Sunday night at 1am but you did. Congratulations.
This is one of my favorite videos! Please do another Monica style video! (If long Covid allows)
IM GONNA NEED AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS!!
I've watched this video every year since it was posted, I still go back to your tips and love them. Thanks Meghan!
I LOVE the "Friends" references so much!!!
So all the time I fall in and out of love with youtubers but lately your stuff has me falling back in love. Keep up on the great work. And yes I’m watching this hella late but I’ve been keeping up with your bakemas and I may have gone on a little binge. Love you girl.
me again. anxiety again. watching video again.
irdk why this video just chills me out so much it's just relaxing
I just knew one day i would need to watch this step by step. This year is the year. Meghan we appreciate you
Brava! Brava! As a woman whose been in your shoes on many an annual bases, you did a great job! The hardest part of cooking an enormous amount of food for a large amount of people is making sure everything is hot AT THE SAME TIME. And sounds like you achieved that (at least for a few minutes while pictures were being taken)! Kudos to you!
"To further Monica the shit out of this.." that is me with everything lol, kinda hate myself for it... kinda don't
Honestly Meghan BIG COMPLIMENT! I very rarely post comments, BUT I had to this time! This was THE best video I have seen in a long time generally (but also from you). I have been following you since you were in high school (you in leggings and a flannel) and I am still a fan of you. I think you are an amazing person and I truly hope to see more of you aka more youtube videos.
Love from Austria (the one in Europe - not Australia)
Friends references were the best
I absolutely love this type of video.❤️
Definitely would want to see more like this. My ocd and anxiety filled body absolutely loves all the plans and organizing that went into this.
Side note: I really can’t get over how U guys are so Monica and Chandler😂🍾🥂
This is Thanksgiving dinner goal!
you look like me when i cook, this was the PERFECT video to stumble upon while i'm getting ready for christmas haha.
i have to transport all of my stuff to another house too so that's an added step of fun. i always did the holiday dinners for my family but it's been intermittent for the last 10yrs and this is the first "real" one i'm doing with a family again. transporting the food is going to stress me out but at least i don't have to make sure my place looks nice. my mom will be over so that's also a relief, like i can make things taste amazing but she knows how to time things and is the queen of oven tetris lol. with 6 days to go it sounds like i'm about on the same schedule you were for thanksgiving so i feel relieved :P
merry christmaaaas, thanks again for sharing your monica tendencies. it was interesting, helpful, and also gave me relief that i'm probably not going to ruin dinner.
You really do need a cooking show, all of your food looked absolutely delicious!!!!!
a 28 minute video?! um YES PLZ. Always love your videos meghan! Your personality is so captivating!
30 MINUTES OF MEGHAN YES PLS AND THANK YOU
It’s so nice seeing you doing sort of sit-down videos with your viewers again! Especially your clothing hauls they were so fun! I️ miss them! But I️ love the fact that u have made something like this to help us step by step, so much appreciated
This was the most interesting/ entertaining thanksgiving video I have ever seen. Everything looked amazing, especially the turkey. I’m so ready for thanksgiving 2018 I’m watching videos to prepare😂! ❤️
Honestly best vid on UA-cam
My friends don't understand how genuinely happy this video makes me
okay clearly cooking, baking, and hosting parties is your calling
I am so glad I spent 30 min watching this instead of studying for my Nursing final. #GOALS!
That intro was perfection though. I volunteered to work on Thanksgiving this year and when everyone asked in their most aghast voice why I would ever do that I gave them a version of that intro as my reasoning. The fact that you didn't have cranberry sauce though makes me feel aghast myself. That's one of my favorite parts of the meal.
I'm in awe to think about how far you've come,I've been a viewer for over 5 years and your evolving content grow. I can't wait for the next video 🙌🏻☺️
Meghan since you're already aware of the damages of plastic you should thing bout buying veggies unpackaged :) a lot of them are cheaper that way! you may need to spend a few extra minutes slicing but its totally worth it!! whole vegetables usually last longer too
complaint: 1) that my basic ass lives in the uk so we don't even have thanksgiving and 2) that my basic ass couldn't cook this well anyway
So proud of you Meghan! It looked beautiful and so freaking tasty!! I hosted my first thanksgiving this year with my husband as it was our first thanksgiving since getting married. Totally loved how you mentioned that it was easier than you thought. I totally agreed. I prepped similar to you and it took soo much stress off the day of. So worth it!
Loooooooove how organized this was😍😍😍
I go back and watch this all the time!
This is legit my favorite video ever!! You're such a great host Meghan!!!!
This is seriously the best video Ive watched on YT in a while! Perfect!!!
Watching how organized you were made me so relaxed. I wish I liked cooking as much as you.
This was so aestheticly pleasing and i'm so fucking hungry now. Plz be my monica next thanksgiving!!
Wowowowowow, the fact that you actually acknowledged how messed up the history behind thanksgiving is, is so rare
You never cease to amaze me!! You’re amazing, wish I could be more like you 🖤
This is the best video I’ve ever seen. Props to you! Your creativity is channeled exquisitely! Love it!
Meghan!!!! My FAVORITE video of yours EVER
Please make more videos like this! this is amazing!
OMG WOW MEGHAN WAY TO BE MORE DOMESTICATED THAN ILL EVER BE!! THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I THINK INA WOULD BE VERY PROUD!!!!!! XOXO
Watching this in August because I’m so ready for fall and it’s so cuteeeee
honestly... you're goals
This has honestly been my favorite video that you have ever made!
I'm watching this because I didn't want to study for finals anymore. I need help. Love you Meghan!
This video is perfection just like "gum is perfection" (quote from Chandler when the power was off in the bank place)
The best thanksgiving video I've EVER watched!!!!!
Yes! I am so glad you made this video! This is the kind of stuff I love doing for my family and friends! takes forever but it is always worth it!
First off, LOOOOVVVVE the yellow sweater. Rocking it. Secondly, I love this video probably more than I should and I need you to get that blog post up asap because I need these recipes. I feel like we're soul sisters, my thanksgiving looked at lot like yours.
everything both in this video and the actual dinner looked so wonderfully put together xx
Absolutely in love with this video!
This is such a beautiful, relaxing, and informative video to watch!! One of my favorite videos you’ve done!
This is my favourite video I've ever watched please make these for every dinner you host omg 😍
Wow Meghan you are a super human! You put on an amazing spread! 💕👏🏼
amazing! Would love to see more videos like this! Your schedule is insane and I love it!
When I have my own place, I hope to be like this while hosting dinner parties. Meghan, This was Dinner Goals. ILY!
This was amazing! I loved this and hopefully one day I can put on such a feast. Could you make a video on a beginners guide to cooking: what you need to make everything you want? Pots, pans, measuring cups, mixers etc. I’m just starting to cook for my Fiancé and would love to stock my kitchen with all the necessities.
I think this may be my favorite video of yours yet!
I'm having a massive anxiety attack and for some reason this video is really helping so thank you for that genuinely
literally this was the most satisfying and enjoyable video ever i would watch a whole giant series of you making videos like this pleaaasse do more :)))
I’m planning on hosting a friends Christmas party. So this was so helpful. Love you Meghan
I’m so obsessed with this
This video is so aesthetically pleasing when you're cooking and I love it
also, i love how you decorated and set the table. my family just puts the food all on the table and kitchen counters 😂
Hey Meg! This was AMAZING and since I'm hosting Christmas dinner I really do need more notes so please post the schedule done below? You'll save me since you did all that!! Lots of love ❤
The salted caramel was beautiful! Loved those shots haha
I was so excited to see you had a new video!!! I WISH I could host like you do! It looks AMAZING
This was an amazing video! Congrats on such a beautiful meal. I did my first Friendsgiving a few weeks ago and can't even put into words how happy I felt. Watching your video was kinda like re-living it, so thank you!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH OMG! Could honestly watch you cook all day 😙
Meghan, this was the most helpful video you've ever made and i've been watching your videos since "Dr. Meghan college advice" LOL
This video was AMAZING!! I love this kind of content . Hopefully 2018 is the year of Contemporary Cooking with Meghan Rienks (obviously you can call it whatever you want lol but this is a GREAT name for your cooking show)
Meghan is the kinda adult I wanna be. She looks so put together.
i've never related so much to a video before. I am also a Monica and prep the same way as you do. great job on the details!
I'm rewatching this right now I looooove how you filmed/formatted this video ❤️ makes me want to host a party haha
omg you need your own show on the food network!!!
I really need you blog to come back so I can start planing my friendsgiving this year. need all your amazing recipes!!
Never been this early to a video!! 😂 Meghan you're amazing!! Keep up the awesome videos and podcasts!! 💓
I've watched you as long as I remember I literally consider u my bff
who knew i'd like watching someone else cook a thanksgiving dinner so much
i loved this haha i see myself so much in how you work in this video and it's honestly the best
Meghan, you are AMAZING!!! The fact you did all of that. It's insane. Definitely my favorite video of yours! I really need to get my sh*t together after watching this. Like really.😅 Loveyouuu!💖
I love this type of videos so much, she is a REAL CHEF u guys. Really missed the baking videos tho :(
