Now that Thanksgiving is out of the way we can turn our attention to The Hollywood Christmas parade, previously known as the Hollywood Santa Parade or Santa Claus Lane Parade, which returns to the streets of Hollywood once more this year, bringing the excitement of the festive season to an early start in the sunshine state of California.

Famous for its big name Grand Marshall and star-studded lineup of hosts, which, this year, includes, Deab Cain, Laura McKenzie, Montel Williams and Erik Estrada, the Hollywood Christmas parade also features balloons, celebrities, live performers, marching bands, pageantry and much more.

Date

The 91st Hollywood Christmas parade in 2023 will be held on Sunday 26th November!

Event Details

The Hollywood Christmas parade steps off at 5pm from Hollywood Boulevard and Orange, right by the famous Chinese Theatre. The route then follows a horseshoe route along Hollywood Boulevard, down Vine then back along Sunset Boulevard.

There is Grandstand seating available at the start of the parade route, you can buy tickets for these VIP areas. These tickets will also give you access to the pre-parade concert, one of the highlights of the day. Tickets for the grandstand seating can be reserved online here.

Live Streaming, TV Coverage

There is usually live TV coverage of the parade, channels such as Hallmark and KTLA have been involved in the past.

The coverage is also syndicated out to TV channels across the country, where delayed screenings are shown right through December; see the TV schedule here.

Hotels and Accommodation

Hollywood hotels tend to be on the expensive side all year round, it pretty much goes with the territory in this part of town, so you can expect to pay a premium to visit for the Christmas Parade, especially given the proximity to Thanksgiving. It makes sense therefore to get your reservation made as soon as you can to try secure the best deal.

You can check availability and make reservations for local hotels here.
