The unofficial âQueen of Christmasâ Mariah Carey will be opening for Santa at the Macyâs Thanksgiving Day Parade with a performance of her hit song âAll I Want For Christmas Is You.â âMy childhood dream is coming to life! Iâm going to be opening for the one and only, SANTA CLAUS đ đŒ, at this yearâs @macys Thanksgiving day parade,â the 52-year-old wrote on Instagram to announce the news. âđđđ« Tune in on Thanksgiving Day.â
In the clip, we see Mariah say, âHey, itâs Mariah! See you at the Macyâs Thanksgiving Day parade,â just after a countdown to Thanksgiving appears on the screen.
Mariah is set to appear at the parade around 12pm, usually the time when Santa comes around to make his appearance to close out the parade. Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker of the Today show will also be returning to host the parade this year. Other performers include Gloria Estefan, Paula Abdul, Big Time Rush, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, Fitz and the Tantrums, Mario Lopez and family, Ziggy Marley, Sean Paul, Kirk Franklin and Jordin Sparks, and more. In addition to the parade performers, weâll also see some dazzling stuff from Broadway, including performances from the cast of Broadwayâs Funny Girl, the cast of A Beautiful Noise, Some Like It Hot, and The Lion King. And, of course, the legendary Radio City Rockettes will also be gracing our TV screens with their talent this year.
We canât forget the iconic balloons that we see each year at the parade, including Peanuts Worldwideâs Astronaut Snoopy, DreamWorks Animationâs Boss Baby and Nickelodeonâs SpongeBob SquarePants. Some new balloons this year include Bluey by BBC, Diary of A Wimpy Kid by Abrams Books, Dino and Baby Dino by Sinclair Oil and Stuart the minion from Illumination.
