Matt Lauer to spend holiday time with Sarah Palin

Matt Lauer is going to Alaska for Christmas.

The “Today” show host will spread some Yuletide cheer with Sarah Palin and her brood riding snowmobiles, ice-fishing and making moose stew.

An NBC source said the arrangements were made as Matt prepared to interview the former vice presidential candidate live on Monday about her new book, “Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.”

Lauer will visit the Palins in Wasilla in early December for a segment that will air the week of December 16.
