See Ciara, Cynthia Erivo, and More Stars Shine at 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
A Wicked-ly good performance, a hilarious Al Roker fan interaction, a surprise Jessica Chastain appearance and so much more makes this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade one to remember.
Savannah Guthrie and Today show alum Hoda Kotb reunited to host the 99th annual Thanksgiving Day Parade Nov. 27 alongside Al, and Cynthia Erivo kicked off the holiday spectacular to sing Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.”
After her rendition, Cynthia officially marked the beginning of the parade by cutting the ribbon, allowing every balloon imaginable from Pikachu to Tom the Turkey float through the streets of Manhattan.
Later, Al showcased the Radio City Rockettes and gave a young fan a very special present—tickets to see the show in New York.
As the Today weather presenter told the young girl, “Would you be excited to see the Rockettes?”
In response, the fan answered, “Yeah!”
But when Al presented the girl with her prize, she hilariously quipped, “I did that yesterday!”
