With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, the selection of giant inflatables for the 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been unveiled. Enthusiasts of the animated hit KPop Demon Hunters have something exciting to look forward to, as fan-favorite mascots Derpy Tiger and Sussie are set to appear as giant balloons.

This famous event is held each year in the heart of New York, featuring an impressive variety of balloons from various pop-culture franchises. Previous appearances have included everything from SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo to anime favorites like Dragon Ball and One Piece.

Meet the Mascots: Sussie and Derpy Tiger

Derpy Tiger and Sussie are featured in the acclaimed animated series KPop Demon Hunters. In the story, the group Huntr/x is a popular musical act by day and a squad of supernatural hunters by night, using their voices to repair the Honmoon and shield humanity from demonic threats. Much like Huntr/x and the Saja Boys, Derpy and Sussie have gained a massive following of viewers everywhere and are expected to be a memorable highlight for families and fans alike during the parade.

An Incredible Year for KPop Demon Hunters

One could easily claim that 2025 has been the year of KPop Demon Hunters. The Sony Animation production has soared to the top as the top-viewed movie on the streaming platform, received five nominations at the Grammys, and the vocal talents behind the main characters—Rumi, Mira, and Zoey's voice actors—recently performed on a popular television program, delivering a stunning spectacular act.

Making things even better, the talented trio are also scheduled to make an appearance during the Thanksgiving Day festivities. Viewers can anticipate a potentially "Golden" performance from the group.

What's Next for the Franchise?

A new feature film, KPop Demon Hunters 2, is said to be in the works, with a potential release in 2029. While it's a long wait, the immense popularity for the original film suggests that audiences are eager for a sequel that lives up to the original success. For now, everyone can look forward to the amazing Derpy and Sussie balloons at the holiday parade.
