NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly has revealed a new Thanksgiving tradition named 'Fakesgiving', which her family follows during the holiday.

Kelly explained that her family celebrates the fake Thanksgiving “the weekend before the real deal” and it started “last year” when her sister, Suzanne Crossley died.

This is the second year of the 'Fakesgiving' tradition. This tradition was started because Kelly wanted to spend time with her sister's children and fortunately, “getting everyone together the weekend before worked well”.

Megyn Kelly reveals how she spent time with family

The veteran journalist gave first-hand information on her official website about the time spent with her family during the weekend.

She revealed that she did not cook and instead ordered “every dish from Citarella, a grocery store". Kelly explained that even if the Thanksgiving turkey wasn’t as good as her mother's, it was still a “win-win”.

Kelly wrote that the best part about Thanksgiving was that she got to spend time with her sister’s children.

The entire family played charades and the former Fox News star disclosed that her mother “came alive” when they played the game.

She was happy to witness her nephew, Chris "in full angst as he brilliantly acted out 'Copacabana'".

Kelly stated that her son Thatcher totally “stumped” her with his “Last Chance University,” which turned out to be a “tough one” to act and get it right.

The famed journalist then spoke about how difficult it is to get the family together on a holiday. She explained, “Every 'yes' in one’s calendar comes at the expense of another possibility. It’s a commitment, especially this time of year. But it’s worth it.”

Kelly wrote that she was “thankful” for “Family. Laughter. Love. Shared time” and wished everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving”

Megyn Kelly shares Thanksgiving recipe book gifted by nephew

After wishing her followers a “Happy Thanksgiving”, Kelly also shared snaps of a recipe book that her nephew Chris gifted her earlier this year.

It was a “recipe book in which he "hand-penned entries".

Kelly disclosed that she “laughed” at it but when she looked inside, “it was no ordinary cookbook”.

It was filled with “memories of food experiences” at her home and many practices on how to make brownies or cookies and other specific meals.

Kelly joked that giving her the recipe book was "one step up from giving one to Strudwick".
