Jennifer Garner nearly set her kitchen ablaze while cooking up a delicious holiday meal earlier this week — and her fans can't stop laughing at the hilarious mishap.

The 49-year-old actress —who posted the wholesome video for her Pretend Cooking Show on Wednesday, December 29 — was trying to make Ina Garten's beef bourguignon recipe when things got a little too heated in the kitchen.

"The thing about traditions — all you do to give them meaning is keep them," she wrote in her Instagram post. "I don't know when I started making @inagarten's beef bourguignon (from Barefoot in Paris) for Christmas, it was long enough ago that the smell of this perfect stew makes me feel happy, cozy, and relaxed (until I almost lit the kitchen on fire — Ina would never 😬!)."
