NEW YORK (AP) — The holiday season really kicks off when the massive helium balloons start floating through New York. For the second year in a row, Thursday’s parade starts at 8:30 a.m. Eastern and will be on NBC, available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers. For cord cutters, the parade is being simulcast on Peacock and an encore telecast begins at 2 p.m. ET/PT. A Spanish language simulcast will also be on Telemundo. This year is starrier than ever. Grammy-, Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-winner Jennifer Hudson will perform, as will global pop icon and Grammy-winner Kylie Minogue and Tony-, Grammy-, and Emmy winner Billy Porter.
