THE VIRTUAL MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
NBC-TV
9 a.m. PST
Free livestream on Twitter and YouTube
Joe Biden pledges to “unite the country,” but for those who are forced to contend with their family’s annoying political viewpoints over the holidays, that can seem like a pipe dream. Perhaps the wholesome, thoroughly apolitical Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the one thing we can all agree on—that it’s mostly boring, but also sort of fun? Naturally, this year’s parade will be entirely virtual and track a much shorter route. There are also no crowds, which means there’s no risk of a repeat of the Great Cat in the Hat Balloon Tragedy of ’97.
