NBC’s Today Show isn’t just counting down the days until Christmas; it’s cramming in holiday segments like Santa stuffing a stocking. This Thursday, December 19, from 7-10 a.m., viewers can expect a festive flurry of gift guides, cooking segments, and a look back at the year’s biggest entertainment moments.
The first two hours will focus on getting you ready for the holiday onslaught. The anchors will partake in a cookie swap, part of the show’s “Season of Giving” series. If your oven’s already working overtime, maybe some last-minute kitchen favorites from Elena Besser will inspire you. Or perhaps you’ll find yourself humming along to a performance by the National Children’s Chorus, continuing the “Choir Week on Today” tradition.
Hour three shifts gears slightly. Financial advice on holiday tipping and charitable giving will be served up, because apparently holiday cheer doesn’t excuse you from fiscal responsibility. There’s also a “Behind the Brand” segment on Din Tai Fung, just in case you need another reason to crave soup dumplings.
And because no holiday season is complete without a frantic dash for gifts, Alejandra Ramos will present a food-focused holiday gift guide. Finally, Chris Witherspoon will recap the year’s top entertainment moments, reminding us of all the celebrity shenanigans we’ve (mostly) forgotten.
Tune in to NBC this Thursday, December 19th, from 7-10 a.m., for the Today Show’s holiday extravaganza.
