Santa has made an appearance on his sleigh, bringing a close to the 97th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
After the festivities, Hoda and Al took to Instagram to share some fun looks at how they navigated their way to the parade route, including Hoda hustling "30-something" blocks to 77th Street to climb aboard the iconic Tom Turkey float.
