Victoria Beckhamhas revealed her Christmas celebrations role — and it’s a crucial one.“I do not do the cooking, I prepare the drinks,” the fashion designer, 50, said during an interview with Zanna Roberts Rassi on the Dec. 16 episode ofHoda & Jenna. “I’ll be the bartender — someone’s got to do it.“Instead, her husband, former professional soccer playerDavid Beckham, 49, has it handled.“David will be doing the cooking, he’s actually a really good cook,” Victoria explained during the interview. “He loves the whole prep.”

Victoria and David share four kids —Brooklyn, 25,Romeo, 22,Cruz, 19, andHarper, 13 — and they are all well aware of Victoria’s lack of culinary talent.

Earlier this year, Brooklyn said thathe loves cooking because of his father. In an interview with the British news outletThe Times, he, too, poked fun at his mother’s cooking ability.“My dad was always the one cooking in the house, my mum not so much,” he explained of David and Victoria at the time. “I just loved hanging out with him in the kitchen, I loved the smell of food.”

Nowadays, Brooklyn says the Beckham kids cook together. “We never say it’s like a competition, even though we give each other a bit of stick about it — that’s just what brothers do. All of us in the kitchen. Just listening to music, cooking together, it’s fun,” Brooklyn said in theTimesinterview. “The best.”
