Chrissy Teigen is keeping things festive despite a minor candy cane mishap.
“Merry chrithmath from our family to yours!!!!!!!” Teigen, 40, captioned an Instagram video on Sunday, December 21. The clip was titled: “Growing Candy Canes (Gone Wrong).”
Teigen and her four kids — Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti, 2, and Wren, 2 — put crushed up oreos in a flower pots to “grow” their own candy canes. When the kids went to sleep each night, Teigen added the holiday treat to the pot, showing how they have “grown.” On day three, there was a major mishap.
“Been working on candy cane growing. Tried to open one of these bad boys. My tooth fell off,” Teigen said, showing the camera that one of her front teeth was missing. “It’s a veneer. I have the whole piece.”
She continued, “This is what moms do for their kids. So you think you grew a candy cane. I was trying to create magic. Now, I have no tooth.”
Teigen continued to update her followers on the tooth journey, revealing that she had to go to “a school recital” for Miles with a missing tooth. The model ended the video by sharing selfies with the fully grown candy canes set to “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars.
Her Instagram Stories on Sunday shared a major update, revealing that she is “back in business” and has a new veneer. “Was cool to say hi to my old tooth for a while,” she added.
Teigen’s husband, John Legend, was quick to comment on her Instagram post, sharing three crying laughing face emojis. Other commenters praised Teigen for posting an honest portrayal of motherhood.

This is hardly the first time Teigen has publicly showcased the highs and lows of motherhood.
While appearing on Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan earlier this year, Teigen revealed that she often needs husband Legend’s help while remembering the days their four kids were born.
Teigen teamed up with Meghan during one episode, which premiered via Netflix in August, to make jewelry with pressed flowers that signify their kids’ birth months.
“So cute,” Teigen said. “I have to look up what the kids’ are.”
The Cravings cookbook author admitted that she has a “tattoo of their birthdays because I don’t remember.” However, the tattoo didn’t seem to help because Teigen still had a hard time figuring out the dates.
“April 14. May, is that 16 or 18?” Teigen started to say, before yelling to her husband in the other room.
“Is it Wren? Oh no, who is this? Miles is May [what]?” she asked. Legend responded, confirming their son’s birthday is May 16. “There we go. It’s just … a little bit blurry.”
Teigen and Legend welcomed their eldest daughter, Luna, in April 2016, three years after they tied the knot. Miles was born two years later. Teigen revealed in 2020 that she suffered a pregnancy loss, giving birth to the couple’s stillborn son, Jack. Teigen gave birth to their third child, Esti, in January 2023, and their son Wren was born via surrogate in June of that same year.
