🎈🎉 How to Watch the 2023 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: Santa, Cher, and More! 🎉🎈

 Get Ready to Gobble Up the 2023 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Extravaganza!

Thanksgiving without the Macy's Parade? Unthinkable! It’s practically as essential as pumpkin pie, stretchy pants, and dodging that one relative’s awkward political comments. And this year, the iconic parade is back with a feast for your eyes, ears, and maybe even your soul.

This year's spectacle promises 30 fabulous floats, 29 zany clown crews, 25 sky-high balloons, 17 toe-tapping musical performances, 9 energetic marching bands, 6 Balloonicles (yes, balloons on wheels!), and one living legend — Cher. Yes, that Cher!

When’s the Big Show? Set your alarms and grab your morning coffee! The 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will roll out on Thursday, Nov. 23, airing from 8:30 a.m. to noon in every time zone. That's half an hour earlier than usual — an extra 30 minutes of parade magic!

Where Can You Watch the Magic Unfold? NBC’s got you covered! Tune in at 8:30 a.m. sharp, or catch it live on Peacock for all your streaming convenience. Prefer your parade in Spanish? Telemundo has you sorted with a simultaneous broadcast.

Who’s Hosting This Turkey-Day Treat? Your morning show favorites Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker will helm the NBC broadcast, while Carlos Adyan and Andrea Meza keep things lively on Telemundo.

Who's Stealing the Show? Brace yourself for a star-studded lineup! Cher is set to dazzle the crowd in the parade’s grand finale, right before Santa makes his big entrance. Kicking things off is the charismatic Grammy-winner Jon Batiste. Also hitting the stage are Alex Smith, Amanda Shaw, Ashley Park, Bell Biv DeVoe, Chicago, David Foster and Katharine McPhee, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, En Vogue, Jessie James Decker, Manuel Turizo, Paul Russell, and Pentatonix. Oh, and those lovable Sesame Street Muppets will be singing their fuzzy hearts out too.

New Balloons? Oh, You Bet! This year’s sky-high stars include fresh faces like Po from Kung Fu Panda, Beagle Scout Snoopy, Blue Cat & Chugs, Leo from Adam Sandler's upcoming animated flick Leo, Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece, Uncle Dan from Migration, and the Pillsbury Doughboy. These newbies join parade veterans like Grogu, Bluey, SpongeBob, Ronald McDonald, and the ever-reliable Smokey the Bear.

New Floats to Drool Over Prepare to be wowed by five fresh floats making their debut! Watch out for the adorable Camp Snoopy, the toasty Solo Stove's Igniting Memories float, the sweet-tooth's dream Brach's Palace of Sweets, a gnarly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem float, and the utterly whimsical Deliciously Delectable World of Wonka, teasing the much-anticipated Wonka movie dropping in December.

So grab your cocoa, pile on the blankets, and settle in — this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade promises to be an unforgettable swirl of music, magic, and larger-than-life fun!
