One commented, "Can't wait and happy new year to you all," with others adding, "Yippee," and, "Great news."
BBC Breakfast is the UK's most watched morning news show, but for the first time in over a decade, it got a makeover this summer.
The show launched an all-new 'multi-purpose' studio which is also shared with BBC Sport, located in the heart of Media City in Salford.
At the time, the BBC said the studio features the latest broadcasting technology which include new high-tech graphics.

Morning Live was launched in October 2020 and is shown at the same time as ITV's Lorraine.
Michelle Ackerley, Gethin Jones, Kym Marsh and Helen Skelton present the magazine programme from its Manchester studios, following its move from Broadcasting House in London.
