A Saturday Night Live Thanksgiving (Wednesday, NBC 9:00 p.m.) — No one does Thanksgiving quite like SNL.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (Thursday, NBC, CBS 9:00 a.m.) — Macy’s celebrates the 92nd year of its holiday parade with performances by some big-name artists including John Legend, Diana Ross, Bazzi, and Rita Ora.
