The star opened up to her current co-stars, DeMarco Morgan and Rhiannon Ally, and said she was planning on spending the holidays somewhere far warmer than New York.

The TV personality and medical professional later reiterated her plans on Instagram when she shared a snapshot from the show and added: "Good Morning America: my “last day of work before going on vacation."

Many of her fans wished her save travels and a happy Christmas, as others said they'll miss her. Jennifer's getaway comes at a difficult time for the show as Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have been put on hiatus following their relationship reveal.
