Another Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has officially drawn to a close, and once again the performances that marked the arrival of certain floats in Herald Square have proven to be impressive and a great way to festively usher in the holiday season.

From pop songs by artists dropping new singles, to Broadway casts strutting their stuff on the streets and festive holiday spirit numbers, the parade made sure to include it all. Here are our 5 favorite performances from the event:

 

Broadway Casts Of 'On Your Feet,' 'The King and I,' 'Finding Neverland,' 'Something Rotten,' and 'Fiddler on the Roof,' 'The Wiz: Live!' & The Radio City Rockettes

Nothing says New York more than Broadway, the casts of a wide variety of shows proved why no theater really does compare to that of New York. And of course, no holiday entertainment in New York is complete without the holiday favorites that are in fact the Rockettes.

Jordin Sparks, "Right Here, Right Now"

Sparks added some fun to the show with her performance, which she gave from aboard the Girl-Powered Spinning Machine Float.

Panic! At The Disco, "Victorious"

The punk-pop band gave the parade some edge with their number.

Shawn Mendes, "Stitches"

Several tween and teen girls likely screamed at their TV's with delight when they saw Mendes performing his hit song.

Mariah Carey, "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

Of course, no parade is complete without ushering in Christmas at the end of it, and what holiday season feels right without hearing Mariah Carey's classic Christmas love song?
