This year, the parade begins at 8 a.m. on January 1,2018 You can enjoy it on a variety of networks, though personally I wish to see Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan, aka Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, host it streaming reside on Amazon PrimeVideo Of course, big-time canine fan Jonathan Scott of the PropertyBrothers is likewise hosting together with sibling Drew, Josh Temple and Nancy O’Dell over on HGTV.
