December 2025 - Pinellas Park Christmas Parade

Our float was packed with festive characters. Phoenix may have stolen the show as Cindy Lou Who — much to Barb’s dismay, since she was proudly playing the actual Grinch. Kevin and the Bandits from Home Alone were up to no good, the Elves on the Shelf kept watch, Elsa and Olaf brought the winter magic, and Jack Skellington added his own holiday flair. Even Jesus was behind the wheel, driving the float down the street.

Brody may have been gently persuaded to join us, but it worked out perfectly because he made an excellent Max the dog.

The quote of the night came from Phoenix, who looked out at the cheering crowd and said, “I have never been famous before.” That pretty much sums up the magic of the evening — kids waving, families smiling, and our cast soaking in every second together.
