There is no holiday kick-off quite like the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and this year the tradition is ringing in its 95th year! You can expect to see ‘a spectacle like no other’ when 15 giant character balloons, 28 floats, 36 novelty and heritage inflatables, more than 800 clowns, 10 marching bands and 9 performance groups, a host of musical stars — and, of course, Santa Claus — march their way down the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving morning.

“Today” show anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker will host the three-hour telecast; viewers nationwide can catch all the action via the special broadcasts on NBC and Telemundo, from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. in all time zones, and for the first time fans can also livestream coverage on Peacock. NBC will air an encore of the Parade from 2-5 p.m. ET.

The Spanish-language simulcast on Telemundo will be hosted by “En Casa con Telemundo’s” Ana Jurka and Carlos Adyan, accompanied by Freddy Lomelí live from Sixth Avenue, and will feature a special appearance by current Miss Universe, Andrea Meza.

It wouldn’t be the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade if we weren’t treated to a festive show-stopping performance by the iconic Radio City Rockettes®, and as always, the event will close with the appearance of the one-and-only Santa Claus as he sets out to prepare for his busiest time of year!
