Thanksgiving Day parades and cooking segments are an annual TV tradition. Here are some Thursday morning highlights:
6 a.m.: If you're up early with holiday preparations, CBS This Morning features an interview with the hosts of The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS, Kevin Frazier and Keltie Knight. KTVT-TV (Channel 11).
7 a.m. ABC's Good Morning America broadcasts live from Thanksgiving Day parades in Philadelphia and New York, plus celebrity chefs share last-minute meal ideas. WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
8 a.m.: The Thanksgiving Day Parade from New York City. CBS' annual three-hour holiday telecast features performances by Justin Bieber and the casts of Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. KTVT-TV (Channel 11).
9 a.m.: The 89th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Our day of gastronomical gluttony just wouldn't be the same without marching bands, cheerleaders, clowns, celebrities and giant balloons that, thankfully, are much more bloated than our bellies. The holiday spectacle returns in all its festive glory as Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie anchor the broadcast. It's followed at noon by the National Dog Show. KXAS-TV (NBC5).
9 a.m.: H-E-B's 66th annual Thanksgiving parade from Houston. WFAA-TV (Channel 8).
