This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Eastern tomorrow morning, on NBC as usual, along with streams on Peacock and Fubo. Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker of the “Today” show will return as hosts.

Geo TV claims she even paid off another bride to secure that exact wedding date at Ocean House.
