The parade includes a great mix of balloons, floats, and characters. The Despicable Me segment features the Minions and the Gru family across three floats, showcasing the characters’ playful antics. Madagascar’s representation includes floats and balloons dedicated to its penguin characters, King Julien, and other key figures from the franchise. The Shrek section brings the Gingerbread Man, The Three Little Pigs, The Three Blind Mice, The Big Bad Wolf, and a Santa Shrek float among others.

A highlight of the parade is the appearance of Santa Claus himself, alongside classic Christmas elements like toys, a nutcracker balloon, and reindeer floats. The grand finale features Santa Claus on his sleigh, followed by a gold star balloon with the Macy’s logo.
