New York will be filled with holiday cheer Thursday as festive floats and towering balloons take to the streets of New York City for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The iconic parade began in 1924 (with live animals!) and has since evolved into an hours-long celebration featuring celebrity appearances and performers. It attracts huge audiences, in person and on live TV, from around the world. Watching the event has become a Thanksgiving tradition in homes across the country.
Before you watch the parade Thanksgiving morning, here's a sneak peek at the newest floats to join the lineup this year.
Blue Cat and Chugs, Beagle Scout Snoopy and Kung Fu Panda's Po are just three of the latest additions to this year's parade. The total number of balloons for 2023 is 25, according to Macy's.
