Telecast Segments/Recurring Segments

Recurring segments are segments that are shown in a different way for every telecast year by year. Below is a list of every recurring segment shown in the parade's history.

## A Tribute To Those We've Lost (2018-2022)

"A Tribute To Those We've Lost" was a segment that was featured in the telecasts of the Santa Claus Parade. These segments were featured in broadcasts from 2018 to 2022, paying tribute to the saddest deaths that took place over the past year. Since then, this segment has become a telecast-exclusive staple. The segment was retired after 2022 because of the parade's rebranding to focus on the parade itself.
