-[Paris] Hello. -[man] Hello.
[Paris] I preordered a turkey.
[man] All right.
[Paris] Under Paris.
-[Paris] Ew. -[man] How's that looking?
[Paris] Beyond.
[Paris] Oh my God! Oh. Look.
[disturbing music plays]
[poultry clucking]
[Paris] No!
[clucking continues]
[man] Fresh and juicy.
[sinister music plays]
Eugh.
-[distorted clucking] -[screams]
[clucking]
[Paris] Ugh, I hate it!
[screams]
[man, distorted] Fresh and juicy.
[screams]
-[clucking] -[screams]
[Paris] I'm gonna heave.
[upbeat whimsical music plays]
[Paris] I love cooking.
But I'm not a trained chef. And I'm not trying to be.
I have a few go-to dishes.
Sliving nachos, jello shots, lasagna.
But I wanna mix it up,
so I'm expanding my repertoire.
I've found some brand-new recipes,
and I'm inviting my friends over to test them out.
Will we create culinary magic?
-[woman] Moment of truth! -[Paris] Wish me luck.
-[woman] Yes! -Oh my God!
[Paris] Anything's possible.
-["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" plays] -I love the holidays.
I've always spent them with my family.
We have presents, and a big tree,
and our traditional roasted turkey.
I'm starting my own family soon,
so it's important that I learn how to make a holiday turkey.
But raw turkey grosses me out.
There's the skin, and the ribs…
Dis-gust-ing!
I've never touched a raw turkey, let alone cooked one.
This year, I'm challenging myself to get over my issues
and cook a whole raw turkey from scratch,
like the grown-ass woman I am.
-[hip-hop plays] -But I'm not about to eat it by myself,
so my holiday dinner will include insanely funny and gorgeous
YouTube superstar Lele Pons,
so she can help me laugh my way through the cooking.
Because turkey is so traditional and I'm a rebel at heart,
I'm doing whatever I want for the rest of the meal.
We'll be making my go-to, cheesy mac and cheese
'cause trust me, it's easy and delicious.
The most important part of the holidays is the decorations,
and glitter makes me happy,
so we'll elevate some simple sugar cookies with couture decorations.
I'm ordering in some sides,
and we'll celebrate the festivities with Lele's crew,
Twan Kuyper and Adam Waheed.
The decor will be a cheerful rainbow wonderland.
I've made my list and checked it twice.
Forget my fears, I'm making this year nice.
[music fades]
[insects chirping]
[Paris] I can't even lift it.
Oh, he's so heavy.
[grunts]
[groans]
[shrieks]
Oh my God, his wings!
[sighs]
What the fuck?
What the fuck is that?
Does it have a dick?
What is that?
Fucking heave.
-[upbeat big bang music] -How to brine a turkey.
It's a long process, so start the day before.
I was, like, the kid in school who refused to even, like, cut open the frog
in whatever that class was.
This is even scarier.
[gags, groans]
There's a bag inside of him.
Ugh.
Now what?
"Wash the turkey off."
Bath time.
Hot tub.
"Pat turkey dry."
Ew.
[groans]
[exhales]
Oh my God!
Can't even look at you.
Eugh.
[music fades]
"Rub brine all over turkey. Rub under the skin, into the cavity." Ugh.
[breezy jazz music plays]
[grunts]
[groans]
I feel like I'm massaging, like, some fat, hairy, gross guy.
Ugh.
"Refrigerate turkey uncovered."
[music fades]
You better taste amazing.
[upbeat holiday music plays]
Literally makes the entire refrigerator reek.
-[woman laughs] -[Paris gags]
-Is this your first time making a turkey? -[Paris] Yes.
-[holiday jazz music plays] -[Paris] How to stuff a turkey.
Here's everything you need.
[dinging]
This covers it all.
Except for therapy.
[Charlotte] "Stuff cavity with onion, lemon, apple…"
-The whole thing? -I guess.
It this all gonna fit inside?
This is crazy.
Like, who the hell invented, like, stuffing a turkey's ass
with, like, fruits and vegetables?
Like, someone who is a huge perv.
[groans]
[Charlotte] Oh my gosh!
The upside-down neck is killing me.
-P! -[Paris] Great, he's gonna explode.
Great, he's breaking apart.
No!
"Rub room-temperature butter all over the turkey, under the skin."
-[Charlotte] Eugh! The skin! Eugh! -[Paris] Gonna spray can it.
Oh! Aah!
So ugly.
Hate it.
Slippery slivs.
That's gonna be a buttery bitch.
-Oh yeah, the wine. -[Charlotte] The wine. The wine.
The wine, 1 and 1/2 cups.
[Paris] I don't know how much that is.
-[Charlotte laughs] That's a whole bottle! -[Paris] This'll be lit.
[dreamy jazz music plays]
[Charlotte laughs] Okay. The wasted turkey goes in the oven.
It's so heavy.
[straining] Oh my God!
[Charlotte] Oh, be careful!
-[Charlotte exhales] -[Paris grunts]
[Charlotte] Be careful.
-Yes! -[music fades]
Peace. Huh?
[upbeat big band music plays]

[Lele] I went to the other houses.
-Slivington Manor. -[Lele] Yes!
[Paris] Lele Pons has been rocking the YouTube world
with millions and millions viewing her videos.
She's a hilarious influencer, actress, singer, and my friend.
-Wait, how did we meet first of all? -I'm trying to remember. It was…
I know how it was. I was with Bella Thorne, and you came…
I was like, "Oh my God! It's Paris!" Right? Of course!
Everybody, like, "Oh my God, it's Paris!"
You were so nice.
I was like, "She's so nice! I can't wait to see her again."
Then, obviously, you had the best parties before Covid, and, uh…
So the last party that I went, I literally went with, like, a gown.
-[Paris] Yes, that was so good. -[Lele] It was Maleficent.
And, like, I even go past Paris,
and I'm just, like, "I'm here too." Like…
[laughs]
-[Paris] Cooking with Lele Pons. -[breezy jazz music plays]
[Lele] What are we making today?
We're doing, like, a Christmas dinner.
I bought some sides, and we're making mac and cheese and roasting a turkey.
Are you serious? So you're making me do the hardest thing you can do in a kitchen.
Basically, yeah.
I did the beginning part so you didn't have to, like, barf and die.
-Okay, okay, good! Okay. -So now it's just goldening.
-And we're gonna do cookies too? -[Paris] Mm-hmm.
I made those yesterday, and we're gonna decorate them.
-[Lele] My God! -Aren't they cute?
-100%. Let's check on the turkey. -[Paris] Let's check on this bitch.
[Paris] How to check on a roasted turkey.
"Turkey is ready when thermometer reaches 165 degrees…
-Okay. -…when inserted into the thighs of meat."
-[Lele chuckles] -Eww.
-Okay. -[Lele] All right.
-[Paris] All right. Ooh. -[Lele] Wow!
-[Paris] Looks good. -[Paris] So happy I didn't do anything--
Like, this is all her!
-[Paris] Is a thigh-- -[Lele] The thigh's that one.
-[Paris] This? -[Lele] Yeah. That's the thigh.
[Paris] Ew. Do we keep this in or is it gonna melt?
Oh, "161."
[Paris] Oh, 'cause it's not cooked on the inside.
-Okay, that means more. -Yeah.
So we don't, like, kill Twan and Adam with salmonella.
-We would though. I would. -[laughs]
[holiday jazz music plays]
Can you help me with my bow, please?
Just, like, fluff it?
Sliving.
If my dog pisses on the bow, I'm gonna be furious.
[Lele laughs]
-Would you like kids? Do you want kids? -Yes. Next year, I wanna have twins.
-Wait! Can you make your kids? -Yeah!
-That's what-- -I did IVF.
So you could pick boys, girls…
Then can you make-- 'Cause I don't want them to have my nose.
-What? -Yeah, like my nose is fake.
-It is? -Yeah, like, I had a nose job.
It's amazing.
Yeah, but I can't have my kid having my nose.
[Paris] Let's see what else we do.
-"Make mac and cheese. Cook the--" -[Paris] The Paris recipe.

Mine is basically like that,
-with all of this thrown on. -All this stuff.
-[Lele] We have to put hot water, right? -[Paris] Oh yeah.

So that and then salt.
Why is this salt glittery?
'Cause it's glittery salt.
Every little detail is, like, perfect!
The salt is diamonds!
-Please! -[laughs]
[Paris] That's how I roll.
[breezy jazz music plays]
[exhales] How are we going with the butter?
It's great! It's just…
-Fucking up your nails? -[laughs]
[Lele] I never wear nails!
I think I need a little more and then we're good.
[Paris] So, what's next?
One half-- quar--
One quarter. Is it this?
Yeah, look at the little thingy.
-Oh. It's tiny. -So it has to be that.
-Why is it so tiny? -I don't get it.
-Makes no sense. Should we just change it? -Probably.
One…
-That. -There! Yeah, let's do that.
I like milk.
[Lele] Then what else do we do?
-We have to put the cheese, no? -[Paris] Yes.
[breezy jazz continues]
-Everything? -Everything.
-This, that, this. -[Lele] Mmm.
-You gonna put all of this? -[Paris] Yeah.
[Lele] Wow!
All of it. All of it?
[Paris] Yeah.
[Lele] There's, like, 15 types of cheeses!
[Paris] Cheese is bomb.
[Paris] Mm-hmm.
-[Lele] I'm killing this. -What do you usually have for Christmas?
It depends. I'm in Puerto Rico every Christmas, so, the pork…
-They literally kill it in my house. -Pork?
-A pig? -A pig.
-Aww! -I know--
-I'm not doing it! -I had a pig named Princess Pigelette.
I will never eat pig again because I'm obsessed with her.
[Lele] It depends what you want. I'm usually like, "I don't want the pig!"
So random.
So my grandma just does for me the tortellini.
-Oh wait. So what time is it? -Oh shit.
-Oh my God, you were literally on time! -Hey, on time!
-Okay. -[Paris] You're psychic.

[Lele] Open the vagina.
[both laugh]
Uno, dos, tres…
Wow, we made it!
-[Paris] Yes. -[Lele] To be honest, I didn't have faith.
[Paris] Well, we always had to have faith that we could do anything.
[breezy jazz music playing]
Oh my God! So bomb.
-It's actually really freaking good. -It's sick.
-Okay. -Wow!
[Paris] Oh my God, it's so cheesy.
[Lele] It's so cheesy! I love it!
[Paris] Some of the best mac and cheese in life.

It really does.
And, like, Gucci.
This is sick.
-That's how you do it. -Wow!

So, what are the names of the kids that you want?
So the girl is gonna be named London Marilyn Hilton Reum.
Wow. Okay, okay. I love that. London.
Yeah, London 'cause London Paris.
And then the boy, I don't…
I can't think of, like, a cool city, like, for a boy's name.
Denver?
Denver? Hmm.
-Denver. I never even thought of that. -Yeah.
I was thinking of Ibiza, Vegas, all my favorite cities.
But if my kid's named Ibiza, it's gonna be, like, a rager.
-Rio? That's from Brazil. -That's cute. You're really good at this!
-If I think of more, I'll give you more. -Thank you, sis.
-Let's check on our sliving turkey. -Yeah.

or buried?
[Lele chuckles]
Where's the, uh, stabber?
-Stab this… -It must be, like, right?

I like ice hockey.
I like skydiving, skiing,
jet skiing, water skiing.
[Lele] I love that.
I need a file with these stupid nails.
[Paris] Yeah, you did not bring your cooking nails today.

Cheers, guys!

Thanks for coming, guys.
[Paris] This year, I overcame my fear of raw turkey.
You just have to make it yours.
And suddenly, whatever you're cooking isn't all that scary.
-[Adam] I lost some of the cookie, but… -[all laugh]
-[Adam] It's pretty good. -[laughter]
[Paris] So make your holidays into whatever slays for you.
What? You think I'd leave you on a chill moment?
