Hoda Kotb's fans are really loving her family's holiday card this year — and we can see why!
On the December 9 taping of Today With Hoda and Jenna, the NBC news anchor and her co-star Jenna Bush Hager showed fans the holiday cards they had sent out. While Jenna shared a coordinated family photo for her Christmas card, Hoda took a more relaxed approach. As she told Jenna on the air, she decided to make her own card with her daughters Haley Joy and Hope Catherine at the last minute.
"We went to see [the holiday Broadway musical] Elf yesterday and we got the picture," she told Jenna in a clip posted on YouTube. "Shutterfly — hit the button. That's what you do."
As for the holiday card itself, the photo features Hoda holding Hope on her hip while Haley stands proudly next to her mom. The trio also posed for the cameras right in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, which Hoda played up the theme with a string light border going around the card's wooden background. With the words "Merry Christmas" tying it all together, it was a perfect send-off for the TV personality as she gets ready to exit the Today show in early January 2025.
When an image of the card was later posted on Instagram, folks gushed about how much they loved it.
"Beautiful card🎄 Merry Christmas to you Hoda and your beautiful family," one person penned. "Heart is full and breaking at the same time. We love you, Hoda. ❤️," a different follower added. "The perfect Christmas card picture!! 🌲," another exclaimed.
