Reacting to AMERICAN THANKSGIVING Traditions For The First Time 

“The good thing about this is we don’t have to bake it” Literally on the box: Ready to Bake 😂😂😭 I’m so dead rn

Half the time I'm having an anxiety attack and the other half is so proud

Condensed milk and Evaporated milk are actually different. The main difference between evaporated milk and condensed milk is that evaporated milk is unsweetened while condensed milk is sweetened

His videos are always just so wholesome. Watching how excited you are to try Thanksgiving foods is great. Maybe it's just me but I always have sweet potato casserole where it's mashed so watching him make that was so cute and hilarious.

As someone who has cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal, from scratch, many times, seeing Raph throw this meal together kinda makes me regret my life choices. 😞 Have a great Thanksgiving, my dude!! 🍗❤️

The effort rapha puts in his content is unmatchable, as someone who isn’t from America i feel like I’m experiencing this with you for the first time

You are an honorary American today Rapha! I love your giddy excitement over all the foods. My family makes yams, which is similar but it's mashed with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and it's baked with the marshmallows on top. Everyone loves them. It should probably be dessert, but it ends up with the dinner. I'm so happy you liked so much! Glad you steered clear of the green bean casserole. Fun fact, our country has many different customs and dishes for Thanksgiving. Depends on what region you're in. Happy Thanksgiving!

I love that he gets scared by the inflated price of pie and continues to hug the pies for a minute before putting them in the cart 😆

This was the MOST ADORABLE Thanksgiving Ever!!!

The juices from the turkey is used to make turkey gravy. Which is a light brown/cream color.

Raph… there’s these disposal baking trays you can buy (and yes, they have them at Walmart). They even have ones especially for turkeys around the holidays. They’re like really sturdy aluminum foil, but basically for fairly cheap you can get the types of pans and trays foods are meant to be cooked in, especially for big holiday meals like thanksgiving or Christmas when you’re not normally going to use that many dishes. No more cookie tray turkeys! You can use the cookie tray for the biscuits and cinnamon rolls next time!

You made that look easy and delicious. Just an FYI, condensed milk and evaporated milk are not the same. Condensed is thicker and sweet. It is used only for desserts. Another side that is eaten is green bean casserole made with green beans, cream of mushroom soup and canned French fried onions. Fun video!

Rapha giving us the content we deserve happy thanksgiving

The star of Thanksgiving are the side dishes! Also, I'm an American living in Norway and my husband and friends love the sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Happy Thanksgiving, Raphael!

You should have asked random people what their favourite food is for thanks giving and then created a table full of food based on that ☺️

I am in South Africa we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but I wish we did. A day to spend with family and being grateful to having each other in our lives ❤️❤️... Raphael thank you for the video I really enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️love you so much

I don’t know why anyone would give mean comments to you. You seem like you have a huge heart of gold. Salem is lucky to have such a sweet dad. ❤❤

Salem in that sweater 👏 Fun to see all these traditional foods from a different perspective. We take these kinda foods for granted sometimes because it's such a yearly staple. Pray for me, I'm cooking my first turkey tomorrow and it's a 15lb chonker. Happy holidays everyone!

I wish we were friends irl lol I'd cook you a the best thanksgiving FEAST ever! Also just a heads up for next time you can get canned yams to make the candied yams instead of raw sweet potatoes lol

Raph not breaking a sweat with a whole Thanksgiving dinner preparation 1st time! Good job 😄

The tradition for the pumpkin pie also calls for LOTS of whip cream. Enjoy! :)

All of us: Eating our classic American Thanksgiving Dinner Raphael: Screw it, anything is possible

You should totally do a video on Thanksgiving leftover recipes! It's a big thing in America here too! I hope you enjoyed your first Thanksgiving this year! 💖

Omg I’m dying! 😂😂😂you are too funny! Good job because I know my hubby wouldn’t know where to even start to make a Thanksgiving meal so I think you did a darn good job! That “plastic thing” was supposed to be removed lol. Honestly I don’t know anyone that uses instant potatoes or premade crust, gravy. My family and I make everything from scratch. Also the sweet potatoes need to be cut in chunks and boiled partly then put into a casserole with brown sugar and butter baked & the marshmallows (we don’t put marshmallows on ours) go on top a few minutes before serving. The traditional pumpkin pie usually uses a regular pie crust not Graham cracker crust. Honestly you get 100% for effort! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Thank you for the giggles I love your channel!

The idea that you haven't found friends yet is mind blowing. You are such a sweet kid.

I have to applaud you for cooking a Thanksgiving dinner! If you were in my state i'd invite you to our southern thanksgiving.

I never knew Popeyes had turkeys for sale! Wow you did an awesome job. Really does look yummy!😋 Happy Thanksgiving. 🍁🌾

The whole thing is crazy but the reaction to the cranberry 'sauce' PLOPPING onto the plate was worth everything. 🦃

Watching you eat and make an entire Thanksgiving dinner meal was so much fun! I love that we’re part of the journey. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for Christmas ❤

Your videos bring joy and light during a time that seems to be stressful for a lot of people so thank you so much!!!!! Your spirit is so bright and wholesome and I can see why people really enjoy your videos.

All the folks in the southern USA cringing through the whole video. 😂

You've really outdone yourself Raphael. I'm gonna watch this all day long tomorrow. You have truly embraced the American Thanksgiving. I'm glad you enjoyed that turkey leg, and your response to the pecan pie was priceless. Happy Turkey Day to you and cute little Salem!!

Raphael, ur not supposed to use graham cracker crust for a pumpkin pie!! 😂😂

When there will be less than 5 guests, I buy thick slices of turkey from the deli.

THIS WAS AWESOME, RAPHA!!!! Glad you are taking to our holiday traditions! 😄 *EDIT: I just finished the whole video, and wait a minute!!! What about the Pumpkin Pie that you made???? You didn't try it!! 😰

Loved everything from start to finish! You can tell how much time, energy, & effort goes into planning these videos. True gem 🦃

Key lime pie by the way is divine! So good I preferred over birthday cakes so many times. Now that doesn't mean I don't like birthday cakes but the key lime pie is really good!

Happy Thanksgiving Raphael! It's cool to watch you experience our traditions for for the first time

Yesss finally someone else that loves the turkey breast, I feel like every-time I’ve had a turkey im one of the only ones that eat the breast it’s my favorite honestly especially when done well it’s so juicy and flavorful. As good as the leg is I just like whatever is easier to eat lol

I'm so happy you enjoyed the food!!! I never knew Popeye's sold whole turkeys lol, that was a sight to behold. You did really well for making all that stuff yourself!!! Happy Thanksgiving. ♥

The whole time he was in Walmart I kept hoping he would stop in the pet section and get a holiday pup sweater 💀

Thanksgiving is what you make it. I think you are doing a great job at it! Keep up the great work!!! 😘😘😘

Happy 1st Thanksgiving Raphael, I'm Thankful that you are here to enjoy it👍🙂 Have a Great Day✌

You did it again....made my day!!! Extra special treat seeing Salem in his Thanksgiving outfit❤❤so cute. I love watching you shopping and preparing food. Happy Thanksgiving Raphael.☺☺☺☺

I make southern cornbread dressing instead of stuffing and sweet potato casserole with marshmallows and pralines. I love pecan pie. You did a good job for your first try at making a Thanksgiving dinner. I would love to see try American Christmas candies and desserts.

I only discovered your RU-vid channel about a month ago and I’ve literally binged loads of your videos. Definitely become one of my new fav RU-vidrs.

Yessss give us more! Happy Thanksgiving Rapha!!

That was fantastic! Well done! Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏼

When Raphael went to the Popeye’s window my eyes got so big 😳🤯🤯😳 almost forgot he just moved here. I Enjoyed the video😂! I hope you guys enjoy your holiday! ❤

Happy Thanksgiving from 🇨🇦. When I do buy Pillsbury dough, if you peel it a bit, and hit it on the corner of your counter, it pops right open. Love your channel. I watched this 2x as I was finding Ornaments for Christmas listening, the first time. The pastry brush to baste your Turkey slices what?! Awesome great idea. I am grateful for your channel makes me laugh, smile, and your home decor looks relaxing.

Loved your video!! From the shopping to the baking!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Raphael!

Thank you for inviting us over for Thanksgiving! Your dinner was spectacular, I'm tired and full just watching you. Happy First Thanksgiving.

It's 6:00 am on Dec. 7th in Texas and I'm so glad the algorithm brought u into my life!!! ❤️. It's your facials at seeing the cranberry sauce and pecan pie for meee! Sweetheart, you did your best. I'm gonna binge your channel after work. At least I'll catch you on time for the upcoming celebrations!.

Happy Thanksgiving! This was fun! You forgot the pumpkin pie haha! And the cinnamon rolls! That's ok I was happy to see another video from you so soon! Looking forward to the next you're my favorite 🤗💖

Welcome to America!! You are so fun to watch and see the world through your eyes!! Keep up the great work!

This video was so wholesome 🥰 I loved every minute of it Rapha! Happy Thanksgiving

The sweet potatoes gave me so much anxiety 😟 sir u should have RU-vid’d this entire meal😂😂 but good effort 🙌🏽

I don't make friends easily either. So I feel yeah. I will be having Thanksgiving by myself too. It was fun to see what a good time you had. Thanks for being part of my Thanksgiving

You are absolutely hilarious and I love every video you make. Your videos are like no one else’s. Can’t wait for the next one. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for giving us this. You made my day and your puppy is sooo cute!

Rapha, I randomly came across your channel and I absolutely love it. I have been binging for a week now all your videos. Welcome to America. Happy Thanksgiving. Love you!

Great job cooking your first Thanksgiving dinner. And yes, we would love to see your take on other holidays.

I love love love your videos(not to mention the apron 😂😂😂).... Keep going! ❤️❤️❤️

I love this!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I love it!! happy thanksgiving

Loved it from beginning to end..only thing missing is green bean casserole. And the holiday leftover sandwich!

Watching him make his thanksgiving meal while I’m making my thanksgiving meal. Thinking I should have just done everything like him since it seems like a lot less work lol.

Awesome job on your first Thanksgiving meal. Wow! My kids will be stoked to learn about that Turkey you bought. As many others have said, there are tons of traditional food for Thanksgiving all depends on where you are. You can spend years creating Thanksgiving content meals with the variety. Happy Thanksgiving Raphael.

👏 *YAY! U DID GREAT RAPHA!* Happy Thanksgiving.🦃 I'm very thankful for u. 🧡

🤯*every time tries something yummy* Super adorable!

Lmfaoooo this video is so chaotic in the best way 😂

HAPPY THANKSGIVING RAPHAEL GREAT JOB ON THE MEAL🦃 Love ya and Salem too

U always make me laugh... Happy Thanksgiving...keep making more videos they make my day

HAPPY 1st THANKSGIVING!! Enjoyed your reaction so much...just wish we got to see you try the Pumpkin Pie...that's my favorite pie....OH, also, did you try the stuffing?? ~Dawne

I love this. So sorry you had to eat alone. Salem is so adorable! Happy Thanksgiving!

Loved every sec of it!

This video makes me smile so much!

Happy Thanksgiving, Raph (and other friends!) - hopefully you'll get an invite to an authentic Thanksgiving meal next year. However, I appreciate the effort you put into this. It's a lot of work, and planning, but with good planning there isn't much stress needed. I love your enthusiasm!

The sweet potato dish is fantastic if made right. It’s one that I have for every thanksgiving

Absolutely precious 😍🥰 Best video of 2022 Period!!!

Not the lady at 3:35 making sure she doesn’t get robbed 😂😂😂😂

Happy 1st Thanksgiving Raphel! I love how instinctively you knew to dip your biscuits in the gravy 😂! The term for it is sopping it up. You've gotta sop it up 😂🤣

next time try a topping with chopped pecans, butter, and brown sugar (with a little bit of salt)

Happy late thanksgiving and yes we do sweet potatoes with marshmallows for thanksgiving

Your reactions are everything... U make us forget how grateful we should be:) Excellent job on shopping and dog cooking dinner!

I'm so impressed good job!!! Everything looks so good!

Raphael I so love watching your videos. I would have invited you to a traditional thanksgiving meal at my house for sure :)

Raphael, you are adorable! It’s entertaining watching you navigate our culinary oddities/traditions.

I’m dying about the cranberry sound on the plate!!! 😂😂

Love all the new Rapha content we've been getting!! 😍😍

I’m worried poor Raphael is gonna be overwhelmed with how much turkey he’s gonna have to turn into left overs lol. According to the web the Popeyes chicken is 13-16lb. Singles, couples and other tiny households/families really are fine with just buying turkey breasts rather than a whole turkey. Perhaps he can make home made dog food with some of it so his doggo will help him eat it lol

Happy Thanksgiving Rapha!

Since he's not from here, and Thanksgiving is a holiday completely made up by white people, it's understandable it's not logical for him... be kind. He's trying his best and I love watching him and his innocence ❤

The plastic thing on the turkey should have came off before you cooked it LOL. You did a good job on your Thanksgiving I am an American and we do eat cheesecake on Thanksgiving also there's this green bean casserole that you can put dried onions on top and a sweet potato casserole with brown sugar and other stuff on top of it not marshmallows and that's how we make our Thanksgiving. But other people do do marshmallows I just think that's yucky

Happy thanksgiving! You did a really good job on that turkey!❤️

This video is everything!!!

Since my brother travelled to a different country And my sister got married And I live with my parents in a very big lonely house And also the house is located in an area where none of my friends are close to me Also I'm from syria so it's kinda hard to afford going out And since all of my friends live close to each other so they're busy spending time together so that means I can't really talk to anyone, your videos have kept me busy from the thoughts of being so incredibly lonely, all of the time Thank you raphael ❤️
