Donnie Wahlberg's 'midnight' Thanksgiving obsession with wife Jenny McCarthy

Celebrities including Donnie Wahlberg, Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Wahlberg share their favorite Thanksgiving traditions, from leftover sandwiches to family gatherings.

Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital. 

"I would say for Thanksgiving, for me, the best part was just leftovers," he said. "Taking whatever was left of the turkey and trying to make a sandwich out of it a few hours after the original meal was digested. And Jenny and I do that. We literally can't wait for leftovers. We wake up Thanksgiving morning, she starts cooking because she loves to do Thanksgiving. And we are literally like, I can't wait to be making a leftover sandwich at midnight."

With their busy schedules, it's not always possible to get the whole family together for the holidays. He and wife, Jenny McCarthy, live in Illinois, "so we try to focus on our kids and being able to have the holidays with them," and when it comes to his siblings, he says they'll do it if it works out.
