In the high-profile world of the Jonas family, traditions are usually a blend of American holidays and high-fashion galas. But in 2019, shortly after Sophie Turner married Joe Jonas, the “Queen of the North” decided that if she was going to survive a Christmas away from her native England, the menu needed a drastic overhaul. While the American side of the family—including brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas—was ready for a traditional Thanksgiving-style turkey feast, Sophie reportedly staged a festive rebellion that left her sister-in-law, Priyanka Chopra, and the rest of the clan scrambling for a taste of Britain.
The Battle of the Sunday Roast
Sophie Turner has never hidden her fierce loyalty to British comfort food. In various interviews, she has expressed her absolute “love love love” for sausages and British delicacies, even running a secret Instagram account, @SophiesSausageReviews, where she candidly rates sausages from across the globe.
On Christmas Day 2019, this loyalty hit a boiling point. Priyanka Chopra later recounted with a laugh that Sophie was so insistent on a “quintessentially British” meal that the traditional turkey was sidelined. Turner reportedly “threw down her fork” (metaphorically speaking) and demanded the staples of a proper UK holiday: Yorkshire puddings, sausage rolls, and a Sunday Roast.
“Joe and Sophie have been mastering British delicacies together,” Joe Jonas shared in an interview with Katie Couric. “As long as there’s some Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings on the side, Sophie is happy.”
A Global Search for Sausage Rolls
To appease the “Queen of the North,” the Jonas family reportedly had to go on a hunt for authentic English ingredients in Los Angeles. Priyanka Chopra noted that the family had to “give in” to please Sophie, leading to a hybrid Christmas that was part American Hollywood, part British Countryside.

The Legacy of a “British Christmas”

The Final Verdict
Sophie Turner’s 2019 Christmas rebellion was more than just a fight over food; it was a sign of her deep-seated connection to her home. While her American in-laws might have been confused by the lack of turkey, Sophie proved that you can take the girl out of England, but you can’t take the Yorkshire pudding out of the girl. As she celebrates 2025 in Warwickshire, the “Queen of the North” has finally reclaimed her Christmas kingdom.
