Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is trading in sweat for sweets this Christmas.

But his wife Lauren Pesce’s cookie-baking tradition makes it difficult for  Sorrentino to maintain his buff physique.

“It’s so hard because I just got my six-pack back and everyone’s baking cookies right now,” Sorrentino recently told Page Six. “It’s very, very unsettling because, you know, I just posted a photo on the Internet of me being shredded again and now I’m eating cookies.”

Since his release from prison in September after an eight-month sentence for tax evasion, Sorrentino has been posting snaps of his workouts on his social media and shares his cheat day meals on his YouTube channel.

Pesce, 34, explained that her tradition of baking cookies has been in her family for years.

“I used to make cookies with my grandma growing up and all her private, personal recipes,” Pesce said. “She is no longer with us so I do it every year with my sisters and my mom. We just did that this weekend and it’s really fun ’cause once that happens, everyone’s house is stocked with the cookies, like, that’s when the real season has begun for us.”

In addition to the sweets, Sorrentino is looking forward to a more traditional meal.

“We really go crazy with the seven fishes for Christmas Eve,” he said. “So we’re definitely gonna make Christmas Eve great again this year.”

And when it comes to combining families, Pesce has a plan to make sure everyone is included.

“It’s always fun to do like a white elephant gift or something that’s like a game to include everybody and break the ice,” she said. “Our families know each other, but definitely, when you incorporate that kind of stuff, it always gets everybody laughing.”
