With one of the best celebrity casts in a while, better if you enjoy Country Music, extra stars for TV broadcast only, songs from Broadway casts, and a very good line-up of giant balloons, this is a must watch event! Watch it for the tradition, parade #1 was in 1924. Watch it for the celebrities, where else can you see so many? Watch it for the giant balloons-who is your favorite? In many ways it's better to see in person but on this TV broadcast there are exclusives. Surprise interviews by Al Roker, such as stars from Chicago Med and Blind Spot. At the opening of the show see Whoopi Goldberg, Steve Harvey, Thalia,among others. Special TV only song numbers by Gwen Stefani and Kelsea Ballerini. Some of this year's parade stars have been there before: 98 Degrees, Patti Labelle and Jimmy Fallon. New giant balloons: Olaf from Frozen; the Grinch promoting his 2018 feature movie, and Paw Patrol. Harold the baseball player returns as a special 70th anniversary nod to Miracle on 34th Street, and the old parade veteran, Rex the Happy Dragon, to name a few. See it in person or see it on TV, but see it! And don't forget about the singing Christmas tree!
