Nothing says Thanksgiving like a giant inflatable Snoopy.

The 89th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade brought its familiar cast of characters to New York City on Thursday: larger-than-life balloons, celebrity musical acts, Christmas-clad dance squads and, of course, Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

Also making an appearance this year were New York City cops — lots of them. In light of heightened terror alerts following the Paris attacks, the city beefed up security and stationed a record 2,500 officers along the parade route, NBC reported.
