Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade features new floats and balloons

Tuning in to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is a tradition for many. There's nothing like waking up on Thanksgiving morning and watching the streets of NYC fill with colorful floats and balloons.

Recently, the organizers of the parade announced new floats and balloons that will be joining the lineup. 

And read how helium gives the whole event its lift every year.

Cracker Jack Popcorn, the Sino-American Friendship Association, Dora and Friends, GoldieBlox, and Pirate's Booty all will have floats joining the lineup. Each float has something special to offer, and some will even feature some special guests.

The parade is also introducing six new floats: Paddington Bear, Pikachu, the Pillsbury Doughboy, the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Eruptor from Skylanders, and Thomas the Tank Engine.
