The special event comes after Hoda was absent from the Today show throughout early December.
The NBC star was also incredibly quiet on social media during her time off, causing some viewers to worry where she was.

However, all was explained at the start of the week as Hoda filled in co-host Jenna on what she had been up to over the past few days.
Telling Jenna where she had been, Hoda revealed: "I have been to this retreat and they took your phone away.
