Brandy’s fans can also look forward to her first single from the album, “Christmas Party For Two,” which is set to drop on November 3. But the holiday surprises don’t end there, as she will also star in Netflix’s original holiday film, Best. Christmas. Ever!, premiering on November 16.

Brandy is not the only star set to light up the parade. En Vogue, Jon Batiste, and Bell Biv DeVoe will also grace the event with their musical talents. Bell Biv DeVoe, known for their R&B prowess, will perform from the Nickelodeon & Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem float. This float is one of the four new additions that promise to add an extra layer of excitement to the parade. En Vogue, another iconic R&B group, will fill the air with holiday cheer from the “Colossal Wave Of Wonder” float by Kalahari Resorts and Conventions.
