The 93rd Hollywood Christmas Parade

Roll Out the Red Carpet for Holiday Magic: The 93rd Hollywood Christmas Parade

The glittering heart of Tinseltown is set to usher in the holiday season with its most spectacular tradition. Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 30, 2025, as the 93rd Anniversary of the Hollywood Christmas Parade returns, transforming the iconic streets of Hollywood into a winter wonderland of joy, spectacle, and heartfelt charity.

This year’s parade, proudly supporting Marine Toys for Tots, promises an unforgettable evening under the stars, blending classic holiday cheer with A-list Hollywood glamour.

A Timeless Tradition with a Star-Studded Cast

The festivities commence at 6:00 p.m., but the energy builds much earlier. Grandstand bleacher seats open at 4:00 p.m., giving families and fans a prime spot to soak in the atmosphere. The pre-parade entertainment kicks off at 5:30 p.m., setting the stage for an epic night.

Guiding viewers through the magic will be a legendary hosting team: the iconic Erik Estrada and the seasoned Laura McKenzie, joined by co-host Elizabeth Stanton. Together, they will introduce a dazzling lineup featuring:

• Celebrities & VIPs from the worlds of film, television, and stage.

• Award-winning marching bands filling the air with festive tunes.

• Larger-than-life, four-story character balloons floating above the boulevard.

• Colorful, elaborate floats designed to dazzle and delight.

• Novelties and famous movie cars for a true touch of Hollywood.

• Live performances that will keep the energy high from start to finish.

And, as the grand finale that never fails to bring a wave of cheer, the parade will culminate with the arrival of the Jolly Old Elf himself, Santa Claus, and his trusty reindeer, officially signaling the start of the holiday season.

Experience the Magic Live

The parade’s 3.2-mile journey begins at Orange Street and Hollywood Boulevard, marching proudly down a magnificent 50’ x 330’ red carpet—a fitting pathway for Hollywood’s holiday celebration.

For those who want to be in the heart of the action, grandstand bleacher seats are available for purchase now via Ticketmaster. Can’t make it to Hollywood? The entire live event will be captured for a national primetime telecast on The CW Network, so everyone can enjoy the magic from home during the holiday season.

A Parade with Purpose: Supporting Marine Toys for Tots

Beyond the glitter and glamour, the Hollywood Christmas Parade carries a deeper mission. By supporting Marine Toys for Tots, the event helps bring the joy of the holidays to less fortunate children.
