This Mom’s Extensive ‘Home for the Holidays’ Food Plan is Going Viral

If this isn’t my list to my future kids when they come home for the holidays, then I’ve done parenting wrong. Of course it’s missing a little more organization like color coding, bullets and timing, but this mom really outdid herself.

Below is the email chain that has taken the internet by storm. On December 12, writer Khalid El Khatib shared a tweet that was an image of his mom’s email outlining their upcoming activities and food menu for the holiday week.

Khalid and his siblings are heading home to Dubuque, Iowa for Christmas week, and the organized itinerary won the hearts of Americans. I mean a brewery on a Wednesday? Count. Me. In.

For those of you wondering, what is El Khatib’s mom serving for Christmas? First, a French toast bake is a must with a side of mimosas. She even has snack items like a taco dip and is super on trend with the now legendary butter board. This mom is totally on TikTok. And the dessert, a Snickers Cheesecake? YUM.

How do we get a seat at this family table on Sunday?
