Here’s a synopsis: “On the eve of the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, viewers will enjoy an all-access look at the Macy’s Parade Studio to discover exactly what it takes to create the famous floats and balloons prior to their journey through the streets of New York. The special will also feature an inside look at Macy’s Balloonfest, where viewers will meet devoted volunteer balloon handlers who have been spending Thanksgiving walking in the Parade for decades.”
The special will spotlight the Radio City Rockettes’ 100th anniversary, an “awe-inspiring LEGO float, a determined California marching band making their Parade debut and a behind-the-scenes look at an exciting performance from EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters.”
