But with their daughter spending time across the pond in London, the Live host had to prepare herself for the fact they may not all be able to unite this Thanksgiving.

During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, the World News Tonight anchor and good friend of Kelly, opened up about cooking for his loved ones and said: "We are a smaller group coming for Thanksgiving this year, and I'm going to cook," before adding: "But Kelly has offered to be the back-up plan."
Ryan agreed with his choice, adding: "She's a good back-up plan," as David hilariously continued: "I have not mentioned that to the family because they'll just go straight to plan B!"
Kelly gave her own two cents on the proposal, saying: "Plan B is totally catered, because I have no time this year. I'm not even messing around. I'm not even pretending to bake a pie."
