Travis Kelce’s mother Donna has revealed what will be on the menu at this year’s Thanksgiving feast.
Speaking with Us Weekly, Donna, 71, said she plans on serving ham rather than the traditional turkey dish.
‘We usually just go get a ham,’ Donna, who was promoting her Ancestry partnership, told the outlet. ‘I’m not particularly fond of turkey.’
Donna – who insisted she’s ‘not a good cooker’ – also dished what other mouth-watering treats will be on the dinner table.
‘I bake cinnamon rolls. They’re always my favorite, my go-to. I only can do it a couple [of] times a year ’cause they’re so sugary,’ she said.

‘I bake cinnamon rolls. They’re always my favorite, my go-to. I only can do it a couple [of] times a year ’cause they’re so sugary,’ she said.
‘So, we’ve got rolls, we have muffins, cookies, things like that, and I usually do that in the season,’ she said.
Donna said her family generally enjoy playing board games and doing puzzles together during the holidays.
‘During Christmas, years ago, we used to [play] Mario Bros. video games,’ she said. ‘We would say, “OK, it’s your turn. You see how far you can get,” and then we’d do a tag team.’
She also described some of the challenges of having children who play professional sports during the holiday season.
Donna’s two sons both play in the NFL – Travis is a tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs while Jason Kelce, 36, plays for the Philadelphia Eagles.
‘You’re not home a lot during the holiday,’ Donna shared. ‘We would travel a lot. We would be in Florida, St. Augustine, visiting relatives, Disney [World], Marco Island and Fort Myers. [Jason and Travis’] grandparents [and] uncles, were in Florida, so we constantly went to Florida for the holidays.’
What a catch! Travis has been dating pop superstar Taylor Swift for the last few months

The Kelce family have been garnering a lot of attention these last few months, and not just for their football connection.
Travis has been dating pop superstar Taylor Swift for the last few months, and many were wondering if Swift would be joining him for Thanksgiving celebrations this year.
But Travis recently admitted he is spending Thanksgiving alone, eating fast food – with girlfriend Taylor in Brazil on her Eras tour.
In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, his brother Jason was talking through the holiday NFL games to watch on television when Travis made the admission.

‘Good luck to them. I’ll be feasting on KFC because I won’t have anybody here,’ he said.
Jason replied asking about Kumar Ferguson, Travis’s personal chef.
‘You don’t have anybody in there cooking turkey? What’s Kumar doing?’ he said.
‘I don’t know. He might be going back to hang out with his family,’ Travis replied.
Jason then extended an offer for his brother to fly to Philadelphia and join him for dinner.
‘If you want to make a quick trip, you’re welcome at the house, man,’ he said. ‘We’ll have plenty of food.’
It might be difficult for Travis to make the journey to his brother, though, given that he and the Chiefs have to prepare to play the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
