Victoria Beckham skips the kitchen duties on Christmas but embraces a key role in the festivities: “Someone has to take charge of it!” she shared, revealing her essential contribution to the holiday celebrations.
Victoria Beckham has unveiled her key role in the family’s Christmas celebrations — and it’s an important one.
“I leave the cooking to someone else and take charge of the drinks,” the 50-year-old fashion designer shared during an interview with Zanna Roberts Rassi on the Dec. 16 episode of *Hoda & Jenna*. “I’m the bartender — someone’s got to handle that part!”
Meanwhile, her husband, 49-year-old former soccer star David Beckham, takes the lead in the kitchen.
“David is in charge of the cooking, and he’s genuinely great at it,” Victoria revealed. “He really enjoys all the prep work too.”
In September, Victoria Beckham opened up to *The Telegraph* about her approach to avoiding stress—and it includes steering clear of the kitchen. “I don’t take on anything I know I’m not good at. Oh, and I definitely don’t cook,” she shared.
Victoria’s daughter, Harper, has even joked about her lack of culinary skills.
“Harper says I can burn water, so it’s probably best for everyone if I stay out of the kitchen,” Victoria admitted.
The Beckhams, who are parents to Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 7, are all well-acquainted with Victoria’s aversion to cooking. Earlier this year, Brooklyn credited his father, David Beckham, for inspiring his love of food and gently poked fun at his mom’s abilities in the kitchen.
“My dad was always the one cooking at home, not my mum,” Brooklyn told *The Times*.
“I just loved being in the kitchen with him and soaking in the smells of food.”
Brooklyn frequently posts his own culinary creations on social media.
He even hosted a Facebook Watch series from 2021 to 2022 titled *Cookin’ with Brooklyn*. In the series, he collaborated with professional chefs and celebrity guests to craft innovative and unique dishes.
