Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost are opting for a stress-free Thanksgiving this year by dining at a restaurant instead of cooking at home. During an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Johansson shared her family’s plans for Turkey Day, noting that this will be a new experience for them. She reflected on the challenges of home cooking, particularly the daunting task of doing dishes alongside her father-in-law, which often overshadows the festive spirit.
Johansson expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to enjoy a meal out, highlighting the joy of not feeling obligated to clean up after the meal. With both families being large, the couple will need a sizable reservation to accommodate everyone. Johansson and Jost’s family includes their three-year-old son, Cosmo, and ten-year-old daughter, Rose, whom Johansson shares with her ex-husband.
To make the most of their time, Johansson joked about participating in trivia instead of cooking, showing her enthusiasm for finding fun, new traditions. Recalling previous Thanksgiving mishaps, she humorously mentioned a cooking failure from Jost that led to some playful banter during an interview.
This shift towards dining out could represent a greater trend of families seeking to relieve the pressures of holiday preparations, allowing more time to connect and create memories together. As we move towards a season often filled with stress, this decision by Johansson and Jost serves as a reminder to prioritize enjoyment and family bonding over tradition.
