The [Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade](http://social.macys.com/parade/) celebrates its 90th anniversary this year—and for the first time, [cord cutters](https://money.com/cable-tv-without-paying-bill/) will have a unique opportunity to watch the parade without a cable subscription.

NBC will broadcast the parade starting at 9 AM ET on Thanksgiving Day. If you have a digital antenna, you can watch the parade with "Today" show hosts Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie and Al Roker. You can stream the same program on [NBC's website](http://www.nbc.com/live), but only if you have a cable subscription.

But folks without cable have an even better option this year. Verizon, [in partnership with NBCUniversal and Macy's](http://www.nbcuniversal.com/press-release/nbcuniversal-and-verizon-take-viewers-beyond-balloons-macy%E2%80%99s-thankgiving-day-parade%C2%AE), will offer cordcutters a "front row seat" to the parade with a 360-degree livestream on [Verizon's YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEVUjvSc8Wk). Marlon Wayans and Olivia Culpo will host the #Verizon360 livestream, according to [NBC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEVUjvSc8Wk). You can watch the parade livestream from almost any device [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEVUjvSc8Wk).

The parade ends around noon. So if you're looking for other ways to avoid talking about politics with your family, here's our guide to streaming NFL games online.
