This Thanksgiving, New York City is buzzing with excitement as Spider-Man makes his grand return to the streets and skies of the Big Apple after more than a decade. According to a Marvel press release, the iconic superhero, beloved by millions, is set to debut an all-new balloon during the 98th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade® on November 28.
