Fischer toldCurtisabout her family’s routine to travel to her uncle’s house in Ohio for Christmas when she was a kid. Every year, they would eat the same “melted cheese sausage balls” but Fischer admitted that they “weren’t very good” — so Curtis elevated it.

“We tried to do something in that spirit but a little different,” he says. “I introduced her to a thing called raclette, which is that whole half wheel of cheese that you put a torch over and then you scrape it down and eat it with other delicious things.”

In another episode, Curtis helped recreate a memory fromBeverly Hills, 90210, which his wife, Spelling and Garth all worked together on.

“They were really fun to have because we sort of got to go back into this time when we were all on the scene,” Lindsay says of having Spelling and Garth for the New Year’s Eve episode. “We got to relive our days at Trader Vic’s dancing on tables and it was really, really fun.”

Spelling wanted to create Jello shots, so Curtis made them with champagne and real gold leaf. “There are just really fun little ways to take the memory and turn it into something current,” says Lindsay.

The pair describe these adaptations as “paying homage” to their friends but they stuck more closely to the original memories for some guests, like recreating Underwood’s practice of helping her “aunties” in the kitchen.

The Talkco-host told Lindsay that when her family members would cook for the holidays they would all wear aprons and fill the pockets with candy. So, Lindsay got vintage aprons for them all to wear and filled the pockets with candy.
