Much like everything else this year, 2020 has forced the change of one of our most beloved holiday traditions…the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. Don’t worry, the 94th annual parade is still scheduled to take place, but it will look much different, for New Yorkers at least. They’ll join the rest of us bundled up on our couches, anticipating what balloon or float will go by next on our TV screens. Let’s take a look back at some of the best Thanksgiving Day Parade moments.
