The Toronto Santa Claus Parade is a Santa Claus Parade held in November in Toronto, Canada which began in 1905. Similar to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the parade was founded by Eaton's department store and had but one float in its debut. Currently the parade features over 25 floats and nearly as many marching bands. CBS broadcast the parade for many years on Thanksgiving.
Members of the cast of Sesame Street (including Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, and Oscar) appeared in the parade in 1978 in a float reminiscant of the Fisher-Price Little People "Sesame Street Clubhouse" set.
