Sarah Michelle Gellar has much to be thankful for, and this year in particular it was husband Freddie Prinze Jr. — and his cooking!
On Friday morning, the actress shared a post of the longtime loves in their Thanksgiving best, writing alongside the snap, "Grateful for this guy (and his thanksgiving dinner)."
The 46-year-old actress also posted a peek at their spread on her Instagram Story, showing off a picture-perfect charcuterie board set to the tune of Taylor Swift's "... Ready for It"?
Gellar and Prinze Jr., 47, met while filming 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer and wed five years later. In the years since, they've welcomed children Charlotte and Rocky, now 14 and 11, and marked many a holiday together.

In 2019, Prinze Jr. spoke to PEOPLE about the family's Thanksgiving traditions, sharing that they've been hosting what he calls a "stragglers' Thanksgiving" for 20-plus years.

“It goes back to when we were all young, hungry actors, the ones who couldn’t afford to go home or didn’t want to go home,” Prinze shared while working the Butterball Turkey Talk Line in Naperville, Illinois. “We’ve had everything from just my family to almost 30 people where we’re cooking multiple turkeys in multiple ovens. I have a passion for that and that philosophy.”
The actor’s favorite memory of the day dates back nearly two decades, when he and Gellar had just moved into a home in Toluca Lake, California.
“There was literally no furniture so we just filled it with tables,” he recalled. “We had maybe 28 people and we cooked everything you could think of. I had a ton of help — we were cooking multiple turkeys, multiple side dishes. I was up super late the night before prepping. But the moment we sat down my memory deleted all the work, all the stress.”
That’s not to say more recent Thanksgivings with the kids aren’t just as beloved.
“My daughter is very involved in the process,” he shared. “She makes a side dish, at least one, every year. My son just eats. It works out! But she really has a joy for it, a love for it, and she asks all the time — even if I don’t want her help, she’s helping.”
The one thing Prinze — who makes almost all the family’s meals, he added — won’t touch, however, is dessert.

“Sarah and I are so night and day, and it’s why we’ve always been a good couple and had a good relationship, because everything I don’t enjoy she’s really good at, and everything she really doesn’t enjoy I’m really good at,” he explained. “It’s never a hassle for me to cook dinner because I like it.”
“But I worked at a place called Hometown Buffet in high school to help my family pay the bills, working the late-night shift doing dessert, and I just can’t stand making desserts because of that,” he continued. “So I do the cooking, she does the sweets.”
