A family's Thanksgiving dinner was almost ruined when the person making the stuffing left out the most important ingredient, the bread! They just mixed up all the other things like onions, celery, and spices. When they tried to serve it, it was just a wet and gooey mess. Everyone burst out laughing at the sight of it and they had to quickly make some instant mashed potatoes to have something to eat with the turkey.
Yes. I heard of a case where someone put the turkey in the oven without removing the giblets first. As the turkey cooked, there was this strange smell. When they finally cut into the turkey, they found the plastic bag with the giblets all melted and stuck to the meat. It was a total disaster but also a very funny story to share later. Everyone had to order pizza instead of having the traditional turkey dinner.
Sure. There was a story where a novice cook was trying to make cranberry sauce from scratch. They misread the recipe and added way too much vinegar. The result was a super sour and almost inedible cranberry mess. Everyone at the table made the funniest faces when they tasted it.

Well, there was this time when a family invited their really strange cousin over for Thanksgiving. He brought his pet snake and let it loose in the house by accident. People were jumping on chairs and tables screaming while the snake slithered around. It turned the Thanksgiving dinner into a crazy circus, but it's definitely a story that makes you laugh now. He finally caught the snake, but not before everyone had a good scare and a lot of laughs.
A common one is burning the mashed potatoes. You get distracted for a moment, and suddenly they're stuck to the bottom of the pan. Another is overcooking the green beans. They become limp and lose all their crunch.
My neighbor once attempted to make a soufflé. He didn't whip the egg whites properly. So when it went into the oven, instead of rising beautifully, it just sort of slumped to one side. It was like a sad, deflated balloon. He was so disappointed, but it was really funny for the rest of us to see.
