 The video opens to Peter and Tony sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Happy Thanksgiving, Ironfam!" he announces, throwing his arms out in a wide 'ta da' gesture. "Sorry for any of you that aren't in America... but I just had to do a video on Thanksgiving, it's, like, one of my favorite holidays."

"I thought Christmas was your favorite holiday," Tony says, giving Peter an amused look. "And Halloween was your second favorite."

"Oh, Mr. Stark," Peter smiles at Tony. "Every holiday is my favorite holiday."

Tony snorts.

"Anyway," Peter picks up where he left off. "Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, because it's an entire day dedicated to eating! And, you know, being thankful and stuff, but... eating! Yay!"

Tony is shaking his head exasperatedly from his place beside Peter.

"So," Peter continues. "I thought we'd just make this video for all of you! And of course, by the time you see it, it won't be Thanksgiving anymore, probably, like, a couple days after, but... you know. Thanksgiving Vlog! Let's go!"

"So," Peter says, standing just outside the kitchen. "We've got the entire team here. Thor came back from Asgard to celebrate with us, isn't that so freaking cool? But the team won't let him in the kitchen. But yeah, we've got Mr. Stark, Steve, Natasha, Clint, Dr. Banner, Thor, Wanda, Sam, Rhodey, Pepper, Bucky, and Happy. Ned and MJ are going to be here any second with their families, and of course, we've got..." he stoops, and when he stands back up, he's holding Lady and Chloe in one hand. "The pets! They are, of course, the most important part of this family, and we will be making them their own mini Thanksgiving feast."

Peter is standing in the kitchen, panning the camera to show the various Avengers working on different things.

"So," Peter says, turning the camera to face him. "We've got everyone here, and they're all working on the things they said they wanted to make." As he mentions each person, he zooms the camera in on them. "Since it's Mr. Stark's house, he's in charge of the turkey, and Pepper wanted to be in charge of the stuffing."

Peter zooms the camera in on his own face and drops his voice to a whisper. "Pepper makes the best ******* stuffing."

He returns the camera to the individual team members as he mentions them. "Steve is making rolls, Bruce is making fruit salad, Bucky is making potatoes, Clint is making his secret gravy recipe, Wanda is making green beans, Sam is making yams, Rhodey is in charge of setting the table, and Ned, MJ, and their families are all bringing their favorite kinds of pie. I'm pretty sure we're getting strawberry, pumpkin, pecan, lemon meringue, raspberry, and chocolate. And then Happy is making the Hogan Family Cranberry Sauce. Seriously. He's mashing cranberries right now. And then Natasha is making Russian Style Corn."

Peter and Natasha are sitting alone in the living room, as though they're in an interview.

"So, Natasha," Peter says. "What exactly is Russian Style Corn."

Natasha snorts. "Okay, so, Tony decided he was going to put me in charge of 'corn' for Thanksgiving, and I decided, okay, fine, if he wanted to put me in charge of something basic and stupid, I was going to make it not basic and stupid. So I invented my own dish, and called is Russian Style Corn so nobody would question it. It's really just creamed corn, Applebees mashed corn, normal corn, cobbed corn, all thrown together and mixed up. In one dish."
