Well, we blinked. Halloween is over and it’s time to move on to Thanksgiving.
And Macy’s got fans excited for the holiday by announcing the star-studded lineup for their annual parade in New York City come November 28.
The 93rd — yes 93rd — Thanksgiving Day Parade will feature the likes of Emmy-winning “Pose” actor Billy Porter, Grammy-winning performers Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Rowland, TLC, Chicago and Latin singer Ozuna.
Ciara, Idina Menzel, Lea Michele, and Debbie Gibson are all scheduled to participate as well with help from the cast of “Sesame Street,” That Girl Lay Lay, Natasha Bedingfield, Chris Young, NCT 127, Chris Janson and Josh Dela Cruz.
But sometimes the celebrities are overshadowed — literally — by other stars in the skies, the A-list roster of character balloons that make their way down the Big Apple streets with the help of hundreds of handlers.
The top dog — Snoopy — is even getting a makeover this year.
I am so excited to be back in the @Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, alongside some of my old friends. Who remembers the last time I got to parade down Manhattan’s streets? What better way to celebrate my birthday than in the biggest parade of all? #MacysParade pic.twitter.com/wBc9taz2UR

“Decked out in astronaut gear, the newest Snoopy balloon design marks the eighth version of Charles M. Schulz’s treasured comic character and honors the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and future space missions,” Macy’s said in a statement.
Guy and Sam from Netflix’s “Green Eggs and Ham” will make their first appearance followed by SpongeBob SquarePants.
And celebrating his 75th birthday, Smokey Bear will join in the aerial fun as well.
The department store juggernaut is also showcasing a new balloon by one of today’s most famous artists.
“And as part of the Macy’s Parade’s Blue Sky Gallery series which invites contemporary artists to recreate their artwork as balloons, Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Love Flies Up to the Sky’ will debut,” the statement read.
Started in 1924, the annual soiree has become one of the world’s largest parades ending every year with an appearance by the one and only Santa Claus.
Yep, blink again, and it’s Christmas.
Catch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade special on November 28 at 9 a.m. EST on NBC’s “Today” show.
