Prince Royce and the cast of On Your Feet! will be making their way toward Herald Square at the 89th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday morning. While they will be some of the humans repping Latinos at the parade, Dora the Explorer is pretty much all alone on the balloon front.
If the Illumilatin had their hands in the parade, these 9 balloons would most certainly pop up:
1
Arácnido Jr.
Spider-Man is already very tied to New York City, so it’s time to let his Mexico City counterpart have a shot at the spotlight. Arácnido Jr. is the son of a wrestler, who came to fulfill his superhero duties after another wrestler killed his father in the ring.
2
Chespirito
Because Chespirito has even influenced American culture through The Simpsons.
3
Romeo Santos
Because attendance/views would be record-breaking.
4
Jennifer Lopez
How has this not happened yet?
6
Narcopaloma
Narcopaloma went from peddling drugs to finding love in 2015. Tell me he didn’t have a standout year.
7
Neymar
Neymar has really stepped up to the plate after Messi got hurt. Plus, he had a life-changing haircut.
8
Plátanos
Pretty self-explanatory.
