Today came back from a commercial on Thursday about 30 minutes into the program.
A choir performed Frosty the Snowman outside while Hoda, 59, Savannah, 51, and Craig Melvin, praised them from inside the studio.
“What a great choir,” Hoda said.
“And speaking of the holidays and celebrating, happy early birthday to you missy,” she said as she pointed to Savannah.
Savannah will celebrate her 52nd birthday on December 27.
“Oh!” she exclaimed. “That’s nice!”
Hoda said that they are going to miss Savannah’s special day because their time off starts soon.
“Your much-deserved holiday, all of ours, starts soon,” Hoda said. “Tomorrow.”
“And we won’t be around until the new year again.”
‘ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!’
“But happy early birthday to you. Spend it with people you love,” Hoda said.
Savannah thanked her co-host as Craig, 44, joked: “Happy 40th.”
“Thank you. Yeah, exactly. Plus plus plus,” Savannah said.
“Thank you so much. I didn’t expect that. Appreciate it.”
Savannah went on to say that there is a meme that reads: “All I want for Christmas is for people to remember my December birthday.”
Craig and Hoda cracked up as Savannah thanked them once again.
The hosts then went on to talk about the tree in Rockefeller Center.
WHOOPS!
Before taking off for the holidays, Savannah and Hoda experienced a wardrobe blunder on Monday.
Savannah shared a photo to her Instagram of herself, Hoda, and Investigative and Consumer correspondent, Vicky Nguyen.
They all posed in bright, colorful outfits.
Savannah wore a red dress with a black belt and gold jewelry.
Hoda wore a bright purple, sleeveless jumpsuit.
Vicky had on a red shirt that matched Savannah’s and purple pants that were the same shade as Hoda’s.
“And we didn’t even plan it,” Savannah captioned the post.
