Vincent Silva+FollowMacy’s Parade Breaks Viewership Records!Did you catch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year? Turns out, you weren’t alone—over 34 million people tuned in, making it the most-watched parade ever on NBC and Peacock! That’s 2.5 million more than last year. Even the under-25 crowd showed up big (+20%). Looks like the holiday classic is more popular than ever! Did you watch live or stream it later? #Culture #MacysParade #Thanksgiving30Share
nhayes+FollowMacy’s Parade: The Celebrity Style You MissedIf you missed the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, you missed some serious style moments! Ciara brought Barbie-pink ski vibes, Teyana Taylor turned the parade route into a runway, and Cynthia Erivo gave us not one but two luxe winter looks (plus a sweet moment with Queen Latifah). Busta Rhymes and Lil Jon kept things festive with bold, cozy fits. Honestly, the fashion was as iconic as the floats! Who had your favorite look? #Culture #MacysParade #Thanksgiving10Share
Vincent Silva+FollowThanksgiving: The Real Story Behind the FeastDid you know the whole Pilgrims-and-Indians Thanksgiving story is only part of the truth? The real history is way more complicated—and way older! Indigenous peoples were holding harvest feasts and giving thanks centuries before the Pilgrims even landed. The classic story we tell now actually left out a ton of people and traditions, especially Native Americans. Next time you’re passing the cranberry sauce, remember: Thanksgiving is about more than just Plymouth Rock! #Culture #Thanksgiving #History00Share
Traci Smith+FollowWildest Macy's Parade Moments You MissedThe 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was a total rollercoaster! HUNTR/X and KPop Demon Hunters crushed it, Lil Jon turned up with Geoffrey the Giraffe, and Busta Rhymes rapped with the Ninja Turtles (yes, really). The Goldfish mini float was adorable, Pikachu’s tail deflated (justice for Pikachu!), and Al Roker’s surprise for a kid went hilariously sideways. Parade balloon handlers deserve a medal for saving Luffy and Goku from flying away. Already counting down to the 100th! #Culture #MacysParade #Thanksgiving90Share
Erin Wilson+FollowNBC’s Macy’s Parade Coverage Sparks OutrageAnyone else feel like NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was just one giant commercial break? Viewers were hyped for new floats like Shrek and K-Pop Demon Hunters, but barely got to see them thanks to endless ads and chatty hosts. Reddit was on fire with complaints, and people started sharing links to alternative streams that actually showed the parade. Next year, I’m skipping NBC and going straight to the AP YouTube livestream for the real deal! #Culture #MacysParade #NBC358308Share
Zachary Vazquez+FollowThanksgiving Dinner Prices: Then vs. NowEver wonder how much your Thanksgiving feast would’ve cost in the ‘60s? Back in 1960, the whole dinner was just $15.63 (about $173 today). Fast forward to 2025, and you’re looking at $175.54—with turkey alone at a wild $57! Inflation, changing tastes, and bigger expectations have seriously upped the price tag, but the menu? Still classic. Makes you look at that pumpkin pie a little differently, right? #Culture #Thanksgiving #Inflation20Share
pbrewer+FollowNew Orleans: Culture or Exploitation?I went to New Orleans expecting music, soul, and good food — and I got that. But I also felt... uneasy. While tourists danced on Bourbon Street, I noticed how many locals were working double shifts, serving overpriced cocktails to people filming for TikTok. A woman told me, “We can’t afford to live where we work anymore.” It hit me — the same culture tourists come to “celebrate” is what locals are being priced out of. New Orleans is alive, yes, but at what cost? #Travel #Culture4011Share
