Depending on who you ask, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is either pure holiday magic or three hours of agony on television. It’s actually a Choose Your Own Adventure situation that remains a deep part of the Thanksgiving tradition, no matter where you land on the topic.
This year’s parade really provided some solid entertainment, especially if you’re elderly. We got performances from Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon, and Shaggy – basically the soundtrack to every house party of the 2000s. And for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the parade featured a K-pop Demon Hunter performance, so everyone got at least a moment to scream, “Oh my god, I know them!”
However, what took everyone by surprise was the appearance of Mister Fantasy — KJ Apa’s anarchic, wig-wearing TikTok alter ego — like a fever dream materialized at the Macy’s parade.
Thus, it has been a great time for social media.

Without the full story behind Apa’s alter ego, many viewers were not thrilled to see Mister Fantasy haunting them on their Thanksgiving morning. But hey, at least Busta Rhymes is here.
