Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos welcomed the first full week of the new year with a new episode of LIVE with Kelly and Mark.

Kelly and Mark took their children on a beachy vacation from social media for two weeks during the holiday so they could all relax and refresh.

The couple loves to take extended vacations with their families to recharge away from the cameras, allowing themselves to return refreshed.

As Monsters and Critics reported, fans missed Kelly and Mark during the holiday season when an emergency caused a show pre-emption.
