Hannah's rules sound manageable: the food must be edible, homemade and not destined for the trash. Then the requests arrive: medium-rare steak, a mashed potato volcano and green apple Jell-O topped with cotton candy.
"I Let My Kids Plan Their Dream Thanksgiving • Mom In Progress" is BuzzFeedVideo's only new upload this week, drawing about 25,000 views in its first ten hours. The episode is sponsored by Play-Doh, whose kitchen play sets occupy the younger children during the cooking.
Hannah recruits Jackson for the preparations, and the menu becomes a substantial kitchen project. There is salmon to season for sushi bake, a turkey-shaped cheese platter to assemble and an apple-and-pumpkin pie separated by a double wall of pastry. Even "orange sourdough" requires interpretation: Hannah makes the loaf with carrot juice instead of water, rather than orange flavoring.
The comments offer their own menu discussion. Viewers are curious about the root beer pie and apple Jell-O, while one initially interpreted the sourdough as citrus-flavored bread. Another shares a family tradition of lime gelatin packed with fruit and vegetables. Apparently, the gelatin course has company.
Across the channel, weekly views reached roughly 1.6 million while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is running above its usual level. Among nearby comedy channels, Speed McQueen added a substantial wave of subscribers, while Lilly Singh's weekly views were close to BuzzFeedVideo's.
The new Thanksgiving episode is the channel's strongest daily draw. Hannah's earlier "I Gave My Kids A Dream Day • Mom In Progress," celebrating the start of the school year, also remains active: another outing built around letting the children make the plans.

What viewers say
LOL ... I thought when he said "orange sourdough" he meant a sourdough bread that tasted like orange (flavor) ... maybe use orange essence or grated orange rinds and mix it in to taste like orange.
@melissawingfield8666See it on YouTubeI'm intrigued about the root beer pie and apple jello mold! Sliders and fries, Mac n cheese, sushi bake sounds so good right now!
@florentinaguggenheimer6557See it on YouTubemy mom makes a jello dish for Thanksgiving.
Lime jello, before it sets add crushed pineapple, shredded carrots, celery and cucumbers. It's one of my favorite side dish? dessert? 🤔💚@melissalillie9091See it on YouTube
