Dylan Dreyer had an unexpected change to her Thanksgiving plans after she stepped in for Al Roker at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday.
The Today star – who was more than happy to help co-host the show after Al was taken to hospital with blood clots – may have missed spending the morning celebrating the holiday with her family, but she more than made up for it when she returned home.

After the parade, Dylan rushed off to join her family for their big meal - and this year they were joined by her husband, Brian Fichera's family too. In fact, there were a total of 17 people she needed to cook for!
Dylan recently spoke to HELLO! ahead of Thanksgiving, revealing that it was her family's favorite holiday.

She said: "Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday! I’m in charge of the cooking…my husband won't have it any other way.
