The 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade delivered 34.3 million viewers across NBC and Peacock, its biggest combined audience on record, outperforming last year's parade by +8% (2.5 million viewers). The 18-49 demo was up 13% from 2024. The original 8:30 a.m. ET airing on NBC drew 25.4 million viewers, the most-watched entertainment telecast in nearly 7 years (since the Academy Awards telecast on Feb. 24, 2019 on ABC). In the 18-49 demo, the parade's original airing stands as the highest-rated entertainment telecast in five years since NBC's 2020 Thanksgiving Day Parade. Each age demo saw increases from a year ago, but younger viewers were up more significantly (+20% for viewers under 25). The parade's linear audience peaked on NBC from 11-11:15 a.m. with 30.2 million viewers.

Elsewhere on NBC in entertainment on Thanksgiving: Across all platforms, The National Dog Show Presented by Purina drew 12.8 million viewers, a 4% increase from last year. In late-night programming post-football on NBC, both The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers scored their most viewers since airing after the NFL's kickoff game on Sept. 4.
