The 95th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (2021) | The 96th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (2022) | The 97th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (2023) |
The 96th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was held on November 24, 2022, in New York City starting at 8:45 a.m., and was shown to viewers live on NBC and Peacock that same day from 9 a.m. to noon EST. The broadcast was hosted by Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Dylan Dreyer. The lineup featured 16 giant character balloons, 28 floats, 40 novelty and heritage inflatables, more than 700 clowns, 12 marching bands and 10 performance groups, a host of musical stars, and the one-and-only Santa Claus.
Overview
Stepping off at 8:45 a.m. sharp, the 96th edition of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicked off at 77th Street and Central Park West with a ribbon cutting ceremony from executive producer Will Coss and TODAY correspondent Dylan Dreyer. Following behind the iconic Tom Turkey float were thousands of balloon handlers, float escorts, cheerleaders, dancers, stilt walkers, special characters, and guest stars, who helped create another holiday treat for children everywhere.
Four brand-new giant balloons were introduced to the line of march. Bluey, the heeler pup popular among the preschool set, played the world’s largest game of Keepy-Uppy; the mischievous banana-craving Minion Stuart took hold of an animated man dressed as a banana, as Frantic Bananas below tried to escape his grasp. Greg Heffley from the mega-popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series returned as an all-new balloon–accompanied by a balloonicle of the infamous slice of cheese emitting an odor most foul; and DINO, the iconic apatosaurus of Sinclair Oil, who was joined by a new Baby DINO to represent the company’s growing family.
Also debuting in the balloon category was The Hottest Heart—a collaboration by Adidas and rapper Bad Bunny. Kicking the Parade into high gear was a balloonicle of Striker, the U.S. Soccer Star, who encouraged fans to cheer on the U.S. men’s soccer team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Trundling underneath them were 28 full-sized floats, five of which were all-new. Geoffrey, the mascot of the Toys”R”Us brand, laid down the beats on his own float to announce the return of Toys”R”Us mini-stores inside of Macy’s locations across the nation. Country star Cam rode on a Wonder Bread-sponsored falloon that gently floated on clouds. Ballet Hispanico performed a dreamy number with a float from the new Netflix flick, Slumberland, and Ziggy Marley brought his popular reggae style to the popular Baby Shark float.
In a special collaboration with the Wampanoag people, the People of First Light float, honored and told the story of resilience, tradition and an enduring vibrant culture. Reaching into their own Parade heritage, Macy’s presented an elaborate Winter Dragon that slithered down Broadway, inspired by the classic Doodlebug float that first appeared in 1968.
As is tradition, Santa Claus rode onto 34th Street just before noon in his colossal emerald and golden sleigh, following a much-publicized performance by superstar Mariah Carey, and announcing the unofficial start of the 2022 holiday season.

Trivia
- The 2022 Parade was going to be the third consecutive Macy's Parade to implement a Health and Safety plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally, all participants were to be fully vaccinated two weeks before Parade Day in order to participate, however the mandate was dropped on September 27, 2022 with proof of a negative COVID-19 test in its place.[4] Other safety procedures were planned to be enforced, but were later dropped include:[5]
- Select costumes and jackets being shipped to avoid crowding in costume areas.
- Select pre-Parade events and trainings remaining virtual in 2022.
- Potential mask mandates at indoor trainings and events.
- Toni, the Bandleader Bear, the Poinsettia Ornaments, Harold the Fireman, and the Rocking Giraffe were all planned to make appearances for the 2022 Macy's Parade, though they were later cut from the lineup.[6]
- During the 2022 Macy's Balloon Inflation Celebration, the floats were assembled along Central Park West between 77th Street and 86th Street, allowing guests to get a sneak peek of their assembly for the first time ever.
- Balloons that experienced defects included Ada Twist, Scientist (whose face was missing a marginal amount of helium), and Stuart the Minion (whose left arm was bent).
- Due to health complications involving blood clots, Al Roker was unable to host the NBC broadcast. Fellow TODAY meteorologist Dylan Dreyer would take his place uptown, though she did not appear in the 34th Street hosting booth. As such, this would also mark the first parade to be hosted by all women.
- Celebrities interviewed during the NBC broadcast included Ana Gasteyer (American Auto), Karamo Brown (Karamo), President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, Jake Lacy (A Friend of the Family), and Andy Cohen (Bravo's Watch What Happens Live).
- Celebrities featured in the "Thanksgiving Messages" segment of the NBC telecast included Blake Shelton (Barmageddon, The Voice) and Gwen Stefani (The Voice), Melissa Rauch (Night Court), George Lopez and Mayan Lopez (Lopez vs Lopez), Raymond Lee (Quantum Leap), and Terry Crews (America's Got Talent).
- The Fraggles of the Apple TV+ series, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, were showcased in a series of short segments throughout the official Parade broadcast, featuring Uncle "Traveling" Matt's journey to the iconic parade; some segments featured a cameo appearance by actress Jessica Chastain.
- The NBC broadcast of the 2022 Parade drew more than 27.7 million viewers (including streams on Peacock), and was the most-viewed Parade telecast in five years.[7]
- The NBC broadcast of the 2022 Parade was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Special.[8]
- The 2022 Parade was the last to utilize branding in collaboration with design studio Carpenter Collective. The following year, the procession's promotional campaign was given a refresh in partnership with Mattson Creative.[9]
