Macy's 2020 Thanksgiving Day Parade: How to watch and what it will look like - CNET

There won't be student marching bands or sidewalk crowds, but there will be plenty of Pikachu, Tom and Jerry, the Boss Baby and more.

The Jennie-O turkey balloon will gobble its way through the altered parade.

Thanksgiving will look different in a lot of ways in 2020, and that includes the traditional Macy's Thanksgiving parade.

"On Thanksgiving Day, we will showcase our annual celebration's signature balloons, floats, performances and herald the arrival of Santa Claus, in front of Macy's famed flagship store on 34th Street for our national television special on NBC.".

This is the 20th consecutive year that a Pikachu balloon will be part of the parade.

Lifetime holiday movies have many devoted fans, and this year for the first time, the network is participating in the parade?

The business-suited Boss Baby from the 2010 book, 2017 film and 2018 Netflix series will bring his big head and serious demeanor to the parade.

He'll be a new balloon this year, spreading early hype for the planned 2021 big-screen sequel The Boss Baby: Family Business.

The famous fighting cat and mouse have a comedic float in the parade this year.
