Thanksgiving morning hits different. The house is quiet (for now), the parade is rolling, and you finally get a second to breathe before the kitchen chaos begins. If your ideal start to the holiday includes coffee, a warm blanket, and the best tasting fudge edibles, you’re not alone. This year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup is stacked, the performances are bigger than ever (yes, Huntr/x is performing), and your favorite gourmet hemp chocolates make the morning feel just right.
Let’s get into a cozy holiday ritual, starting with the parade, the floats everyone will be talking about, and the chocolate edibles that turn Thanksgiving morning into a whole vibe.
🦃 The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: What to Expect in 2025
For so many of us, the Macy’s Parade is the unofficial start of the holiday season. It’s nostalgic, comforting, and fun to watch even if you’re only half-awake, wrapped in a blanket, letting your coffee and chocolate edible kick in.
Here’s the tea for this year’s lineup:
🎈 Iconic Floats Making a Comeback
This year’s parade is packed with the classics everyone waits for:
- The giant Snoopy balloon (he’s in a new winter outfit)
- Pikachu & Eevee floating side-by-side
- Bluey, because obviously the kids will lose their minds
- A revamped Tom Turkey, giving full “main character Thanksgiving energy”
- The sparkly Santa’s Sleigh float closing the show
🌟 New Floats Debuting This Year
Parade insiders already confirmed a few brand-new concepts:
- A very adorable Baby Yoda
- A Dream Generator by Serta
- A vibrant derpy blue tiger (you already know we stan kpop)
🎤 Huntr/x Takes the Stage
And the moment the internet will explode?
Huntr/x performing live on one of the mid-parade floats.
If you’re curled up on the couch letting your Delta 9 fudge edibles hit just right, that performance is going to be a whole experience.
📺 Where to Watch the Parade on TV or Streaming
If Thanksgiving is a multitasking sport for you, don’t worry, here’s exactly where you can watch while prepping the turkey (or ordering DoorDash, no judgment):
- NBC (traditional broadcast) — 9 am EST
- Peacock — full streaming coverage
- Macy’s official YouTube livestream — perfect for watching on your phone in the kitchen
- Hulu Live if you have it
- Sling TV and YouTube TV also stream it live
Pro tip:
Turn it on in the background while enjoying one of the best tasting fudge edibles and suddenly peeling potatoes becomes a spiritual experience.
🍫 OK… So What Are the Best Tasting Chocolate Edibles?
If you’re going to start your Thanksgiving with chocolate, it better taste good. Not “good for an edible.” Not “tolerable.”
Actually good.
At What’s Your Treat, people are obsessed with our gourmet chocolate lineup because:
- The flavor is high-quality, creamy, real chocolate
- The hemp extract blends seamlessly
- No weird aftertaste
- Doses are reliable, predictable, and easy to work with
- They melt perfectly if you want to use them in Thanksgiving recipes
Here are the chocolate MVPs for your Thanksgiving morning:
🍫 Milk Chocolate Delta 9 Bar
Smooth, classic, and everyone’s go-to. Think Hershey vibes but upgraded and adult-approved.
🍫 Dark Chocolate Delta 9 Bar
Rich, bold, and perfect for sipping with coffee while watching the parade floats roll through Manhattan.
🍫 Cookies & Cream Chocolate Bar
If “nostalgic sweetness” was a person, it would be this bar. Perfect for dessert, or dessert-before-breakfast, which is allowed on holidays.
🍫 Peanut Butter Cups
The exact energy you need to survive your family asking why the turkey “isn’t done yet.”
🍫 Chocolate Fudge
A creamy piece of heaven. Soft, decadent, and the perfect “take the edge off before guests arrive” treat.
🍫 Chocolate Pops
Portable, adorable, and honestly such a good option if you’re trying to keep your edible discreet around family.
These are hands down the best tasting fudge edibles to pair with a cozy holiday, no bitterness, no chalky texture, nothing artificial. Just real chocolate and good vibes.
🗣️ Thanksgiving Conversation Starters for Family You Only See Once a Year

Watch the floats. Cheer for Huntr/x. Laugh with family. Sneak extra dessert. Let the chocolate hit.
