Al Roker is “so very thankful” to have made it home for Thanksgiving with his family.

The “Today” meteorologist shared a health update with fans via social media on Thursday after missing out on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 27 years.

A cheery Roker, 68, posted a video of himself in comfy attire as he walked around the hallways of a hospital.

“Alright, this is my version of the Thanksgiving Day Parade,” he said. “Getting ready to leave the hospital. Time to blow this taco stand. Woohoo!”

The weather anchor later informed fans that he made it home just “in time” to catch some of the parade commentary from “Today” colleagues Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

“So very #thankful to be able to be home for #thanksgiving#dinner with #family,” he wrote in another post shared via Instagram.

Plenty of celebs and fellow TV personalities took to the comments sections of Roker’s various posts to send him love and support.

“Yay Al! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️❤️,” wrote Katie Couric, with Jenna Bush Hager adding, “Yasss!! Now we are especially thankful for you too!!! And all those doctors and nurses who took care of our dear one! ❤️.”
