THE Today hosts are taking an extended Christmas vacation as they are all missing from the desk on Monday.
Kristen Welker and Peter Alexander have taken the reins at the main anchor desk.
Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb were not on the morning show on Monday after being absent last week.
But they weren't the only two missing from the program.
Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones, Carson Daly, and Al Roker were not on the show either.
The only regular host who showed up on Monday was meteorologist Dylan Dreyer.
She was joined by Kristen, Peter, and Jacob Soboroff.
Jacob took over the POPStart segment for Carson while Dylan reported the weather in Al's extended absence.
Kristen works for NBC News, including Weekend Today, and as a White House correspondent.
Peter is a journalist and television presenter who currently works for NBC News, NBC News White House correspondent, and the co-anchor of Weekend TODAY.
Savannah has not been on the morning show since December 16.
The morning of December 19 saw Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin behind the desk.
She spent that weekend with her family but did not explain why she was out the whole week.
Craig, 43, sat in Savannah's usual spot while the TODAY anchor appeared to take the day off.
Her absence came after the TV personality shared pics of her husband, Michael Feldman, and youngest child Charles' fun day out in New York City.
Last Sunday, Savannah posted snaps on Instagram of the father-son pair at the Broadway show The Lion King.
A couple of pics showcased the duo looking excited while standing outside the theater.
A third snap showed the adorable six-year-old holding the show's playbill while anxiously waiting for the performance to begin from the audience.
Savannah gushed over the photos in her caption, writing: "What a treat. One lion, one cub at The Lion King."
But Savannah's days off have been put to good use lately as she recently announced a significant career move, outside of Studio 1A.
Before her absence, Carson announced that Savannah will produce the show Princess Power, based on her best-selling book series, Princesses Wear Pants with Drew Barrymore.
Then, just a few short days later, Hoda surprised fans by not sitting behind the morning desk either.
Savannah was out the entire week and again on Monday.
Hoda was absent from Wednesday to Friday and then again on Monday.
Craig and Sheinelle took over for the main hosts with Carson reporting on a few stories on Wednesday.
Dylan was also absent at the beginning of last week.
Fan-favorite contributor, Jill Martin, filled in as co-host.
She was not on the third hour of TODAY from Monday to Wednesday, but returned the rest of the week.
Sheinelle and Craig hosted the show without their trusty meteorologist.
They were joined, however, by Joe Fryer and Jill on Monday.
And then just fan-favorite Jill joined them on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It was later stated by Jill that Dylan was "taking some time off" and judging by her Instagram posts, she spent it with family.
Dylan is also the only regular host to appear on the show, the day after Christmas.
