Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicked off this morning, with balloons, floats, celebrities and musical acts cruising down New York City's Central Park West, through the Avenue of the Americas and ending in Herald Square, near Macy's iconic Manhattan store.
The parade, now in its 89th year, featured perennial favorites like Snoopy, Spongebob Squarepants and of course Santa Claus bringing up the rear, mixed with new arrivals like Red from Angry Birds, and a new Ronald McDonald balloon.
