And the countdown to Christmas begins! There are little markers in L.A. that let us know that one of the most exciting times of the year is soon approaching: Christmas lights being lit, holiday music on the radio…and the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. Every year, thousands of Angelenos don their most festive apparel (still too tight from Thanksgiving dinner) and head to the Hollywood Walk of Fame as it’s transformed into a winter sort-of-wonderland. Here’s everything you need to know about the Hollywood Christmas Parade, one of the first major Christmas events of the season.

When is the Hollywood Christmas Parade 2025?

The 93rd Hollywood Christmas Parade takes place on Sunday, November 30, 2025, from 6–8pm. Pre-parade entertainment starts at 5:30pm.

How can I watch the parade?

Reserved grandstand seating is available to purchase here. Reserved spots in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre and Hollywood Roosevelt are going for $120, which supports Marine Toys for Tots, but curbside viewing along the parade route after Highland Avenue is free if you stake out a spot early enough.

If you just want to watch on TV, all of the action usually airs closer to Christmas on the CW and KTLA (this year’s air date is still to come).

Where does the parade start?

The 3.2-mile U-shaped parade route begins at Hollywood Boulevard and Orange Drive, in front of the Chinese Theatre, and heads east. It then turns south onto Vine Street and west onto Sunset Boulevard, where it continues until reaching Orange Drive again. A route map and street closure information can be found here.

Who will be appearing?

Erik Estrada, Laura McKenzie and Elizabeth Stanton will host. This year’s grand marshal is actor Luke Wilson (a pretty big celebrity get, by the parade’s standards), and Black-ish’s Anthony Anderson will receive the parade’s Humanitarian Award. The rest of the lineup includes Brian Austin Green, Sharna Burgess, Vivica A. Fox, Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering and stars from Days of our Lives. The parade also typically features plenty of character balloons, marching bands, dance groups and equestrians, too, plus live entertainment from performers including the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles. The night will culminate with the arrival of Santa and his reindeer.
