There's a lot of excitement out at the plaza now that the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is finally glowing bright. Though thousands flocked to the area last night, plenty of people still showed up this morning to catch the early taping of the TODAY Show.
Luckily, the excitement of the holiday season is far from over and to top off the morning, style expert Jill Martin and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari treated a couple of our guests to an Ambush Makeover.
Read on to see their incredible new looks and find their new wardrobe essentials that are perfect for the holiday season.
