"Last night was my first night out after my recovery from tonsil cancer," he captioned the update.
In the featured image, Reardon wore a black peacoat looking like his typical self. The second picture, however, showed him wearing a face mask while seemingly at a hospital undergoing treatment.
"Has been a long road between these two pictures and the difference is from the love and support I received from my people in my life," he added.
In the post, Reardon thanked his wife, Meghan Ory, "for taking on our whole world to help me get better" and their "brave kids who inspired me." (Reardon and Ory recently co-starred in Hallmark's 2024 TV movie, Believe in Christmas.)
He also expressed gratitude for his father, "who took me for a walk everyday even when it was hard for me to get out of bed" and his mother, "who made me soups and ginger honey tea and green juices so I could get calories into my body."

After thanking his in-laws, nanny and neighbors, Reardon extended his appreciation to "all the amazing doctors, nurses, technicians, hospital workers, psychologist."
"You are all my heroes and I thank you from the bottom of my heart," he concluded. "Kindness is an under appreciated quality in people. We should never under value it. Celebrate it and distribute it as much as possible. It is free and life changing. Happy Holidays ??."
In the comments, Reardon's followers lifted him up with words of support.
One Instagram user wrote, "Tonsil cancer!? Bro!! You got this!!! My thoughts are with you and your family. Happy holidays."
