Happy New Year to you too!
A crew of astronauts did indeed once sneak a full Thanksgiving dinner up with them to the International Space Station. They managed to shock NASA ground control by breaking out the stow-away foods on camera after NASA didn't plan an official Thanksgiving meal for them.
Here's a news article commemorating the event: http://gizmodo.com/5413714/astronauts-sn…
No explanation has ever been given as to how they snuck all that food up on a craft where weight is so important. However they did it, it must have been pretty clever!

The up on the ISS do eat fairly decently. They get fresh fruit with each supply ship and some crew members are actually quite adapt at cooking meals in space (duct tape is a handy kitchen utensil) -
