Macy’s is gearing up to introduce seven exciting new floats at the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade, including the smallest one to ever feature in the event.

As anticipation builds for the annual holiday tradition, the iconic department store has revealed its fresh lineup of floats, which will join the existing fleet of 28 in this year’s spectacle.

Capturing the spirit of the Gen-Z phenomenon, Labubus will make their inaugural appearance on a grand float called “Friendsgiving in Popcity.” The vibrant creation will bring Labubu and his counterpart Mokoko to life on the streets of New York City as part of the 99th parade, scheduled for November 27.

The plush toys have been a hit among young people, who eagerly snapped up keychains to adorn their bags earlier this year. Now, these beloved characters will stand 16 feet tall on the float, accompanied by other imaginative creations from Pop Market.

In a nod to the whimsical, Goldfish is unveiling the parade’s smallest float ever, measuring just 14 Goldfish crackers in length. Standing at a mere eight inches tall, this float features intricately detailed fish-shaped crackers.

The design includes a snow tube slope, complete with a giant snow Goldfish perched atop, as tiny crackers slide down the mountain, adding a playful touch to the parade’s festivities.

Lego will also debut a new float this year based on one of its sets. Similar to Goldfish, it features a ski slope and holiday characters like a snowman and a reindeer, as well as a yeti. 

The chocolate company Lindt also has a gorgeous float gearing up to grace the Midtown streets for all the nation to see.
