**NEW YORK, NY** – Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Christmas episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark” served as a nostalgic look back at past holiday shows and a poignant farewell to their longtime studio. The show featured heartwarming reminiscences from former co-host Ryan Seacrest, who highlighted the festive traditions, including appearances by Mariah Carey and Santa Claus, and the beloved tradition of hosting the show in onesies. Seacrest fondly recalled the comfort and fun of the onesie tradition, expressing his intention to watch from home in his own onesie this year. Consuelos jokingly lamented the absence of onesies now that he’s co-host, a sentiment met with Ripa’s playful agreement on the need for a more elegant on-air presentation.

The Christmas episode also marked the end of an era, as the show prepares to leave its Upper West Side studio, its home for the past 40 years. Both Consuelos and Ripa expressed deep sentimentality for the building, describing it as more than just concrete and steel, but a place filled with cherished memories. Ripa emphasized the significance of the location and the many special moments shared within its walls, promising that while the physical space might change, the memories created at “Live’s first home” would endure.
