The Today show host shares Rusty, 13 months, George, two, and Calvin, five, with her husband, Brian Fichera, and it'll be full on for the family. She spoke openly to HELLO! about her plans for our holiday digital issue, starring Prue Leith on our cover.

But Dylan confessed they have a rule for Thanksgiving in their home - she's in charge of the food! "Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday," she said. "I’m in charge of the cooking and my husband won’t have it any other way." 

It's not a small affair either, as Dylan has a house full of guests to cater for.

Dylan and her husband will spend Thanksgiving with their family

"Since I have to cook, it’s time for everyone who hasn’t seen the kids in a while to do all the entertaining! I try to get as much prepped beforehand so I can enjoy the day, but it’s all hands on deck with the kids! Naptime helps too…I get A LOT done during Rusty and Ollie’s naptime."
