Like millions of Americans across the country, Lea Michele readied herself for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday morning. But, rather than preparing to watch in her pajamas on the couch, she got ready to perform.
The actress and singer, who currently stars in Broadway’s “Funny Girl”, kicked off the 96th annual Macy’s parade with a killer performance with some of the show’s cast. But before she did, she posted a video on TikTok ahead of the iconic Thanksgiving celebration.
“Funny Girls at the Thanksgiving Day Parade! @funnygirlbwyofficial,” she captioned the video, which was set to Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled.”

While Michele attended the parade live, many big names tuned in from home, including President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden.
More stars shared holiday messages, including what they are grateful for, through Thanksgiving.
Michelle Obama
Former first lady Michelle Obama posted a family photo Thursday morning on Instagram and Twitter, sharing warm Thanksgiving wishes.
“I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with love, gratitude, and a whole lot of great food. From our family to yours, have a happy Thanksgiving!” she wrote.
Barack Obama
Like his wife, former President Barack Obama took to Instagram to share holiday wishes, too.
The former commander-in-chief shared two photos of himself serving food.
“Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!” he wrote. “As we celebrate, let’s give thanks for all the blessings in our lives and give back when we can. We’re also thinking of the brave men and women serving our country far from their home.

Kathie Lee Gifford
Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday for many, including Kathie Lee Gifford.
The media personality, 69, told Fox News in an interview published Wednesday that it’s “my favorite holiday of the whole year” because “it’s about gratitude.”
She told the outlet that Thanksgiving is “the only day of the year that I actually cook” and she makes many of the dishes her late mother did for the food-focused holiday.
“My mom was an unbelievable cook,” she said. “She couldn’t boil water when she was 19 and got married, but she learned to be an amazing cook. So she taught me and my sister and my brother all of her amazing recipes.”
