For more than 100 years, Wonder Bread has been a mainstay in kitchen tables and lunch boxes across the country. And now, for the first time-ever, the brand will be making an appearance in homes across the world, and parading down the streets of New York City as it debuts its first-ever float at the 96th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

To celebrate this important occasion, Wonder Bread and Macy’s hosted an exclusive press event to offer a first look at the new float.

The fully immersive event transported attendees to a world of wonder, including a giant float replica and indulgent Thanksgiving-themed bites and cocktails.
