Thursday morning don't miss the Sesame Street Muppets at The 94th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This will be the 46th consecutive year that the cast of Sesame Street has made an appearance.

The parade begins at 9 am eastern on NBC. Sesame Street's appearance is scheduled for approximately 10 am eastern.

Please note, the parade may be delayed up to two hours for your time zone, so be sure to check local listings for accurate start times. Also in some markets, NBC will be re-airing the parade in the afternoon so check local times for broadcasts in your area.



In the meantime, enjoy last year's appearance!

That was a cute segment from the "Sesame Street" Muppets. i.e. Big Bird, Grover, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Rosita. It was also interesting hearing the early 2010s "Sesame Street" theme instrumental accompany it (as at least it runs longer than the 2015-present opening theme does!)

Was it a live appearance or a pre-recorded message because I missed it....

Matt always sounds that way when performing/voicing :wisdom: It's especially noticeable since I've been watching some Season 30's episodes that unfortunately loop together with my young niece that contain some JTE segments.

At least the pre-recorded message made it into the airing so ToughPigs can add it to their parade compilation presentation next year.

My mom said she noticed that too, but she really hasn't heard Matt as BB too much. We traditionally watch Muppet Family Christmas each year though.
I watch that every year too, along with "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street!" My brother also likes to watch "A Muppet Family Christmas" every year with his girlfriend, and usually treats it as the only "Sesame Street"-related material he's willing to watch.
