Lea Salonga also had an eventful Thanksgiving as she participated in this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The award-winning Broadway star joined the cast of Sesame Street with Elmo, Big Bird, and the whole gang for a delightful performance of "Sing."
"No, it wasn’t a sunny day, and it would’ve been great if the clouds were swept away, but today’s Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was still such a wonderful highlight! Thank you, Sesame Steet, this was truly very special, and thank you for plastering the biggest smile on my child’s face," Lea said.
Donita Rose and Felson Palad
Actress and television host Donita Rose celebrated the occasion by having a simple Thanksgiving dinner with her husband, recording artist Felson Palad, as well as a few of their nearest and dearest.
"A simple intimate family Thanksgiving dinner with celebrity couple Felson Palad and Donita Rose," wrote a certain Leo Cioco Abelita. "It was such an amazing time spending with you both one on one talking about the goodness of God in time as such as this Thanksgiving Day."
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez marked the national holiday in the arms of Benny Blanco.
As seen in her Instagram stories, the actress and singer looked all giddy as she was embraced by her boyfriend affectionately from behind during their Thanksgiving feast.
Before they got together, the pair worked on a song together titled I Can't Get Enough in March 2019 and again collaborated in 2023 for the latter's track, Single Soon. The couple confirmed their relationship in December 2023.

Rebel Wilson expressed her love for her wife Ramona Agruma and their daughter Royce Lilian as she shared some throwback pictures of their vacation in the seas.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. So grateful and lucky to have such an awesome family! Love you all so much," she wrote.
