“The Macy’s Parade team is thrilled to welcome Fleck, Bjorn,
Jojo and Hugg, stars of Netflix’s ‘The Christmas Chronicles’ to the
high flying stage of the 2018 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” said
Jordan Dabby, vice president, partnership marketing for Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade. “The Parade’s signature mix of whimsy and
magic is the perfect place to showcase Santa’s loveable elves who
team up to save Christmas in the film and ignite joy in the hearts
of millions along the Parade route and in homes across the
nation.”
When asked for comment, Hugg remarked, “H�vuumi virma rugv�mma
grüngrünki embruushi,” which loosely translates from Elvish to "I
promise to keep my chainsaw away from the balloons."
Sparking the holiday spirit along the Parade’s famed route,
Fleck, Bjorn, Jojo and Hugg will take flight this November as
30-foot tall helium, 20-foot wide character balloons. Fleck will
set off on his maiden New York City adventure carrying Santa’s bag
tracker, Bjorn will be showcased in his signature candy cane-fueled
toy-making frenzy, while troublemaker Jojo will be depicted
delivering letters to Santa, and Hugg will be featured hard at work
on a new wood carving. On Thanksgiving Day, the elf foursome will
usher in the arrival of the one-and-only Santa Claus as he
officially opens the start of the holiday season.
Netflix’s “The Christmas Chronicles” is a new holiday film from
producer Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”, “Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone”) and director Clay Kaytis (“The Angry Birds
Movie”), that tells the story of sister and brother, Kate (Darby
Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis), whose Christmas Eve plan to
catch Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) on camera turns into an unexpected
journey that most kids could only dream about. After staking out
Santa’s arrival, they sneak into his sleigh, cause it to crash and
nearly derail Christmas. As their wild night unfolds, Kate and
Teddy work together with Santa — as you've never seen him before —
and his loyal Elves to save Christmas before it’s too late. “The
Christmas Chronicles” will debut on Netflix on Thursday, Nov.
22.
The 92nd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs nationwide
on NBC-TV, on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018 from 9 a.m. – Noon; in all
time zones.
