The 36th annual Dallas Holiday Parade has already made its way through downtown Dallas. Once again, it featured colorful floats, lively dancers, vibrant bands and, of course, a visit from Santa, spreading holiday cheer.
But there’s good news: If you missed this year’s parade, you can catch a special broadcast of the event on the CW that will air Dec. 25 at 9 a.m. It could be a great way to occupy kids on Christmas morning.
This year’s parade kicked off at the intersection of Commerce and Houston streets on Dec. 7 at 9 a.m., hosted by CW33 news anchor Jenny Anchondo, a four-time Dallas Holiday Parade host, and NewsNation anchor Xavier Walton, making his debut at the parade.
“I’m hoping this parade is going to be bigger and better than ever,” Anchondo said ahead of the event.
He noted viewers would see classic favorites featured year after year at the Dallas holiday tradition, along with a few surprises.
“People can expect one of the best holiday parades in a while. It’s like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but Dallas-style,” Walton said.
Have the kids watch until the end: That’s when Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus make an appearance.
