The TODAY Plaza is bringing warmth and comfort with the introduction of Homesick Candles, setting a cozy atmosphere for its sunrise scenes.
Diving Dogs Make a Splash
On an early September morning, the Plaza was all about our furry friends. A large pool was set up to host a canine diving competition. Among the stars was Jagger, a German Shepherd who wowed everyone with a jump of 32.3 feet, securing his place as the champion.
Savannah Guthrie's Big Announcement
The Plaza has been a hotspot for many memorable moments, including pregnancy announcements. Back in June 2016, Savannah Guthrie surprised everyone with her announcement during a live segment. Holding a cue card that asked, Are you pregnant?
, she replied with a joyous Well, yeah, I am pregnant!
Her exciting news was celebrated by all on set.
Celine Dion’s Emotional Performance
Known for her powerful vocals, Celine Dion has always captivated audiences at the Plaza. In July 2016, after experiencing personal loss, she performed Because You Loved Me, leaving fans deeply moved by her strength and emotional resonance.
U.S. Gymnastics Team's Golden Moment
The summer of 2016 was remarkable for the U.S. women’s gymnastics team at the Rio Olympics. Gymnasts like Simone Biles dominated the games, bringing home multiple medals and igniting cheers on the TODAY Plaza.
Ed Sheeran Rocks the Plaza
In July 2017, Ed Sheeran lit up the Plaza with his hit songs. The event was marked by his performance of Shape of You, which was a chart-topping favorite across numerous countries.
The Comfort of Homesick Candles
The introduction of Homesick Candles brought an aromatic touch to the Plaza’s ambiance. Each scent aims to evoke memories tied to specific states, such as Illinois’ blend of grain fields and violets or Minnesota’s winter air fragrance. One reviewer noted, “The IL candle smells like if you took all the flower & fresh scented cleaning supplies in the store and dumped them into a giant bucket… Minnesota smells like you took the seasonal limited edition versions of the cleaning supplies in the store and repeated the same task.
” Despite some critiques regarding quality for their price, priced at $29.95 each plus tax and shipping, their nostalgic essence can’t be denied.
