Summary

Lo teams up with his sister-from-another-mister, actress and producer Hayley Orrantia, for a hilarious, heart-squeezing holiday special that goes way beyond the turkey. The duo dives into what they’re thankful for… and very much NOT thankful for (because honesty is the true holiday spice). From southern staples that make Lo reach for the stretchy pants to classic dishes that deserve permanent retirement, Lo and Hayley break down the Thanksgiving menu with unapologetic candor and chef’s-kiss comedy.

But this episode isn’t just about food. It’s for everyone navigating the holiday season, no matter your reality. Maybe Thanksgiving isn’t your thing. Maybe you’re skipping dinner with the toxic side of the family. Maybe you’re celebrating with your chosen crew… or maybe you’re riding solo on the couch wrapped like a human burrito. Wherever you are, Lo and Hayley are here to remind you: you’ve got family right here in the Lo Life cult coven — your cozy, judgment-free zone to laugh, decompress, and feel a little less alone.

The banter is prime, the friendship is real, and the heart is full. Whether you love the holidays, dread them, or are just trying to make it through your seasonal depression in one piece, this episode is the warm, green-bean-casserole-energy blanket your soul needs to kick off the holiday season.
