The 2025 Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade<\/a> is underway in New York City as Americans prepare for a busy holiday season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s parade was partially interrupted by pro-Palestinian protestors demonstrating against the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. This year? Consumer boycotts<\/a> are expected over Trump administration policies \u2014 including increased prices<\/a>, sweeping tariffs<\/a> and rollbacks of diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a> (DEI) programs \u2014 as peak shopping season kicks off.<\/p>\n

Despite rising inflation<\/a> and economic uncertainty<\/a> from President Trump\u2019s import taxes, the National Retail Federation estimated<\/a> that shoppers will collectively spend between $1.01 trillion and $1.02 trillion over the next two months \u2014 an increase up to 4.2 percent compared with last year.<\/p>\n

The parade began at 8:30 a.m. EST in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n
