Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Marks 100 Years with Star-Studded Lineup

On November 26, 2025, NBC will air a special one-hour program showcasing the highly anticipated Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The event, which takes place the following day, November 27, 2025, is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary with a dazzling lineup of performers and attractions.

The special will feature interviews with popular artists Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, and Jewel, who are all set to take part in the parade. Viewers will also get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the intricate process of designing and constructing the parade's famous floats and giant balloons.

In addition to the celebrity interviews and float-making insights, the program will spotlight several other notable elements of the 2025 parade. This includes a special segment dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Radio City Rockettes, as well as the debut of a brand-new LEGO-themed float. Audiences will also get a sneak peek of a performance from EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from the Netflix series "KPop Demon Hunters."

Last year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade drew its largest audience on record, with 31.7 million viewers tuning in across NBC and Peacock. The event also remained the top Spanish-language TV program in its timeslot on Telemundo for the third consecutive year. This year's centennial celebration is expected to draw even greater interest and viewership.
