Skylanders Will Be at This Year’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

On Thursday, November 27^th, my son and I love to wake-up early in the morning to catch each year’s Thanksgiving Day parade due to all the balloons floating around the sky. This year is going to be the biggest spectacle event ever because this year Macy’s Thanksgiving Day is debuting their largest new cast of giant character balloons ever assembled, along with five amazing new floats.

The Parade’s signature giant balloons have for decades showcased the world’s most recognized characters. This year, Macy’s will introduce the biggest class of new balloons in its history. Six new giant characters will take to the sky including The Weinstein Company’s loveable Peruvian bear Paddington^™; the always electrifying Pikachu^™; the warm giggling Pillsbury Doughboy^®; the vanquisher of evil the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger; the friendly locomotive Thomas the Tank Engine and my son’s favorite the lava spewing Skylanders Eruptor.

A spectacle like no other, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is broadcast nationwide on NBC. Regularly one of the nation’s most viewed events, millions of families tune-in every year to watch the revelry unfold. This year, the TODAY Show’s Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie will anchor the three-hour broadcast from 9:00 AM – Noon; in all time zones.
