Here’s Where To Watch The 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade For Free

Cher may be performing new songs at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

The department store announced Cher’s anticipated presence at the holiday parade shortly after her debut Christmas album release in October. It is likely the singer will serenade viewers with some numbers from the Christmas album, though no line-up has been disclosed. “When I listen to it, I think this worked out. It wasn’t planned out, but it worked out,” she remarked.

Cher told Billboard, “They’re not Christmas Christmas songs, OK, they’re just great songs,” explaining that she loves the songs, which is unusual because she “almost never” likes her work. The new release features a remake of “What Christmas Means to Me” with Stevie Wonder, “Put a Little Holiday in Your Heart” with Cyndi Lauper, as well as a collaboration with Tyga on “Drop Top Sleigh Ride.”
