Travis Kelce’s mom Donna Kelce shares family’s Thanksgiving menu – but NFL mom swaps out iconic Turkey for another fan favorite dish!
Travis Kelce’s mom Donna has revealed what’s on the menu for this year’s Thanksgiving feast.
Speak with We weeklyDonna, 71, said she plans to serve ham instead of the traditional turkey dish.
“We usually just go get a ham,” Donna, who was promoting her Ancestry partnership, told the outlet. “I’m not really into turkey.”
Donna – who insisted she is ‘not a good cook’ – also served up whatever other delectable treats would be on the table.
‘I bake cinnamon rolls. They are always my favorite, my go-to. I can only do a few [of] times a year because they are so sweet, she said.

Despite insisting she is ‘not a good cook’, Donna listed some of the delectable treats that will be served at her family dinner.
‘I bake cinnamon rolls. They are always my favorite, my go-to. I can only do a few [of] times a year because they are so sweet, she said.
“So we have sandwiches, we have muffins, cookies and things like that, and I usually do that in season,” she said.
Donna said her family generally enjoys playing board games and doing puzzles during the holidays.
‘At Christmas, years ago, we always did that [play] Mario Bros. video games,” she said. “We’d say, ‘Okay, it’s your turn. See how far you can go,’ and then we’d make a tag team.”
She also described some of the challenges that come with having children involved in professional sports during the holidays.
Donna’s two sons both play in the NFL. Travis is a tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs, while Jason Kelce, 36, plays for the Philadelphia Eagles.
“You’re not home much during the holidays,” Donna said. ‘We would travel a lot. We were supposed to be in Florida, St. Augustine, visiting family, Disney [World]Marco Island and Fort Myers. [Jason and Travis’] grandparents [and] uncles, were in Florida, so we went to Florida for the holidays all the time.”
What a catch! Travis has been dating pop superstar Taylor Swift for the past few months

The Kelce family has received a lot of attention in recent months, and not just because of their football connection.
Travis has been dating pop superstar Taylor Swift for the past few months, and many wondered if Swift would join him for Thanksgiving celebrations this year.
But Travis recently admitted he’s spending Thanksgiving alone and eating fast food — with girlfriend Taylor in Brazil during her Eras tour.
On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, his brother Jason was talking about the holiday NFL games to watch on television when Travis made the confession.

‘Good luck to them. “I’m going to indulge in KFC because there’s no one here,” he said.
Jason answered and asked for Kumar Ferguson, Travis’ personal chef.
‘Don’t you have anyone there who cooks turkey? What is Kumar doing?’ he said.
‘Don’t know. Maybe he’ll go back and hang out with his family,” Travis replied.
Jason then offered his brother to fly to Philadelphia and join him for dinner.
“If you want to take a quick trip, you’re welcome at our house, man,” he said. “We’ll have enough food.”
However, it may be difficult for Travis to make the trip to see his brother as he and the Chiefs must prepare for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
