Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade® Floats
Santa's Sleigh
Santa's Sleigh
The most eagerly awaited part of the Parade, the one-and-only Santa Claus officially ushers in the Christmas season in a magnificent 50-foot sleigh. The jolly old gent's carriage is a replica of a winter snow goose, lined with plush green velvet and pulled by the most famous 12-foot reindeer in the world: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
