There are thousands of Thanksgiving videos on RUclips, but this is one of the best by far. It is truly a hidden gem. Your beautiful family, the decor, the menu, the food prep, the bustling kitchen, the laughter and chatter, so many combined cuisines-It’s all truly remarkable. Even the background music and videography…this presentation sets a holiday mood like no other. Happy holidays to you and yours and to anyone watching.
My family is now with Jesus and I miss them so much. Cooking with my Mom and siblings was such a joy! You have a wonderful family and this video brought back such precious memories. The food looks spectacular and thank you so much for sharing❤️
Wow that’s amazing! You did enough cooking for not only Thanksgiving but Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s, Easter, 4th of July, etc. GREAT JOB!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your Thanksgiving dinner is so beautiful and your whole family. When your mother prayed I cried, it was so beautiful. May God bless yo and your families!
Wowwwwwwww everything is so beautiful. I know you've put a lot of effort into putting this together for us and everything turned out just fantastic. Next year just put me on the invite list, I will wash the dishes, clean the kitchen and sample all the food for free. Totally enjoyed this video 🇹🇹
the best video so far in terms of content and videography. I had to watch in parts because i got tired with all the work you did, you and the other ladies are truly powerhouses.
This was fun to watch. Bless your big family. Love how everyone pitched in to help I’m sure that made the process more enjoyable. Lol @ Mikey making pelau with frozen chicken 🤣🤣🤣
My mom and I used to make everything the day of to feed about 40 family members at our place since I was 13. We did the American feast plus tamales, pozole and other Mexican food. However we are great at budgeting since we never spent more than $200 on all the ingredients. I don’t miss the cooking, I only miss those gone before us. So enjoy they’re company while they are here.
Just discovered your channel tonight, been watching for hours, but this video take the cake. It's 4.20a.m. and I'm hungry watching this amazing set of dishes, give you a 10 plus, excellent chef you are, and your sweet. Mikey , proud to see him help you so much, blessings to you and your family. Hope you all are ok with the horrible virus, hitting New York so horrific, very, very sad, love from TORONTO CANADA, stay safe!
... you watch this video and just wish that just for a few days could you hop on a plane across the Atlantic and join this family having this amazing experience, loved every second, thank you
You just popped up on my feed thank God I Loved watching you and your family prepare Thanksgiving dinner reminds me of me my family. You need to write a cook book. Everything looks delicious!!! I need recipes!! God Bless you and your Beautiful family!
Absolutely wonderful spread. Tons of work. Hope you weren't tired so that you can enjoy all those fabulous dishes. Enjoy your cooking videos. Thank you.
Ria, that is the most beautiful holiday meal i have ever seen! All the hard work that went into it is just amazing. What a beautiful family you have to love and enjoy it with you too! Such a true blessing! Bon appetite 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I enjoyed watching this, i found your Jamaican rice and peas video and I started watching one video after another and I am hooked I just can't stop watching you. Your are so satisfying to watch
Wow Ria, I want to come to your house for the holidays!! YUM!! Everything looks so amazing!! You and your family are so beautiful!! and I love the prayer! There is nobody that can bless us like Jesus!! Amen!! Stay blessed always
Ria, I just thought of this; You must have an amazing COMPOST heap, with all the bits cleaned from veggies and fruits!!! When I moved to my farm, I started one, and my throw away trash was reduced by half!!! I never realized how much I was filling in my trash can, until I started composting! Anyway, your Thanksgiving spread was amazing!!! You certainly have energy to do so much! I make my sides 3-4 days ahead, and freeze them, then just focus on the turkey, cranberry, gravy, and appetizers on Thanksgiving day. I used to be exhausted doing it all the same day, even with tons of prepping beforehand... I wrapped my side dishes very tightly with waxed paper, cling wrap, then foil, and they taste as fresh as if I cooked them just on TG day!
Amazing holiday dinner don’t ever think you know everything …because that will be the end of your cooking adventures.. l so much loved so many of your dishes and got some new fresh ideas….
Hey aria I just came across the thanksgiving feast you made one year ago everything looks so delicious can’t wait to try some of your recipes this year let me. tell you when coming to cooking especially Trini cooking you are the BOSS I have watch other people. Videos none of them ever come close god bless your hands that he may allow you to bring delicious recipes thank you 🙏🏼
WOW 😳!!!! I would be dead. I can't say anything because I cook like that on Christmas Eve. I have always had Christmas Eve because my kids are grown and married. So they can go to their in-laws on Christmas. God bless you and your family.
I know I’m very late to the party. I just discovered you looking for food ideas. I enjoy watching you cook such an enormous holiday meal. I can tell that your a very clean cook. I love cooking massive holiday and everyday feast. My problem is, no one appreciates it. The only time I get love is during the holidays so I just don’t bother anymore.
The best part was watching and listening the entire Family and friends enjoying the whole process of preparing this great feast together! Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving this year also!
This was an Amazing video..Praying for your family and every family in the world right now..I pray we can all have another wonderful Thanksgiving this year as we did in years of the past..Amen..

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video! You are truly a blessed woman! I loved especially how you included the blessing of the food. I loved everything!! Such a heartwarming family! Btw, I literally laughed out loud when you corrected the guy who reminded you to get “that yogurt thing”, referring to the ricotta🤣! Reminds me soooo much of my in-laws.
Wow!! It’s like Christmas came early! This vlog made me feel joyful and thankful! Yummy! Thank you Ria!! Favourite part is the family teasing each other and mummy’s prayers, love it!

My fiancé says I’m starting way to early but he doesn’t understand us island women don’t play when it comes to food and presentation…. Thank you so much for sharing and for inspiring me to really step my game up this year 🙌🏾
I can truly say that I absolutely Love, Love, LOVED watching this video from beginning to end. What a pleasure! I loved watching the shopping for the food and the cute music. I think you did a great job with the filming and the beautiful closeup of the food. Your family is funny; I liked when your mom said about Al Pacino "Is he still alive with all that stress?" Haha! People should have a plate of food that they are eating when watching this video because otherwise their stomach will growl from watching that wonderful feast. Also, I prayed along with the beautiful prayer of thanksgiving that was said before everyone ate. I really, really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
You remind me of my father the way he used to be may God Rest his soul now I don't see nobody yet that can cook like my daddy 😥 but you did a wonderful job everything looks great the outcome is always excellent good job. God bless.. 🙏
I liked this entire video . I must say that my favorite part is when the lady prayed at the end and she said in Jesus name. Love, Relationship, Unity. That is the Blessing of God in Jesus name ,Amen!!!
