This Thursday, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager offer a pre-holiday survival kit disguised as a morning show. If tinsel-induced stress has you reaching for the spiked eggnog a little early, perhaps some festive desserts, beauty tips, and last-minute travel advice can salvage your seasonal sanity. Or at least provide a welcome distraction.
“What’s Poppin'” with Daryn Carp will cover the latest pop culture happenings, offering a break from holiday music and family drama. Need a beauty refresh before the onslaught of relatives arrives? Ashlee Glazer will share holiday beauty secrets and trends, hopefully offering solutions that go beyond a strategically placed Santa hat.
For those with a sweet tooth (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t during the holidays?), Katie Stilo and Anthony Contrino are here to tempt you with delectable dessert ideas. Because calories don’t count in December, right?
If your holiday travel plans are still up in the air (or non-existent), Mark Ellwood will offer some eleventh-hour travel tips. Perhaps he has a secret portal to a stress-free Christmas vacation? We can dream.
Finally, Jessica Williams, known for her work on “Shrinking,” will stop by for a chat. It’s a welcome chance to hear from someone who isn’t trying to sell you a fruitcake or a timeshare.
“Today with Hoda & Jenna” airs weekdays at 10:00 AM on NBC.
