The 68-year-old Today show host has been in and out of the hospital for the past few weeks following issues with blood clots.
However, it seems Al is back in good spirits as he gave fans a glimpse into his Christmas celebrations.
The TV star took to his Instagram yesterday to share a sweet snap of his family around the dinner table.
In the picture, Al was seen sitting at the head of the table which was covered with an array of festive food.
Joining Al at the table was his wife, Deborah Roberts, 62, and their children: Leila, 24, and 20-year-old Nick.

In a more recent snap, Al uploaded a clip of a fire burning and penned a heartwarming caption.
He wrote, “So grateful to have experienced another Christmas and to be with my family. We make assumptions and plans and they can [be] upended in an instant. You think you are grateful and show gratitude.”
He then finished off the post with, “And then, you realize, suddenly, that the depth of those words are so much deeper. I can never thank all of you who prayed for us enough.”
