Meghan Trainor sang [Thanksgiving carols](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-courier-carolers) during Jimmy Kimmel Live, and the results were hilarious.

I know, I know. You're probably wondering "what's a Thanksgiving carol? I didn't know any existed." The answer is they don't, up until now. Jimmy Kimmel thought there was a problem with the lack of songs celebrating [the holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-thanks-collection), so he invited the 20-year-old 'All About That Bass' singer to perform a few soon-to-be classics on his show.

In an infomercial format, Trainor plugs her merry tunes, which include 'My Flight Got Canceled in Denver (I'll Be Sleeping at an Airport Quiznos Tonight),' 'I'm Not Bringing Leftovers on the Plane, Mom,' 'I Would Like to Leave (To Get Drunk With My Friends)' and, of course, the soulful 'Grandma's a Racist (Pass the Yams).'
