The annual Hollywood Christmas Parade is a tradition that dates back to 1928. Since 2007, it has been held on the weekend after Thanksgiving to help kick off the holiday season; it raises money and donations for the Marines Toys for Tots holiday charity campaign. This year it is airing on Friday (Dec. 13) at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

If you don’t have cable, you can watch a live stream of the CW on your computer, phone, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or other streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming subscription services:
