Early Look at Visit Mississippi's Kermit Rose Parade Float!

Back in September, Visit Mississippi unveiled the concept art for its creativity-themed Rose Parade float—and now we have our first look at the float itself. 


Titled “Where Creativity Blooms,” the float celebrates the state’s deep artistic roots, highlighting Mississippi’s rich literary and musical legacy.

At the heart of the design is Kermit the Frog, honoring Mississippi native Jim Henson, the legendary creator of the Muppets. The iconic character serves as a playful yet meaningful tribute to the creativity that has blossomed from the Magnolia State.

Adding to the celebration, country music star and Mississippi native Charlie Worsham will perform live atop the float during the parade, bringing Mississippi’s musical heritage to life for millions of viewers.


In true Rose Parade fashion, the details are as impressive as the theme. Kermit the Frog is constructed entirely from split peas, while magnolias, Mississippi’s state flower, are featured throughout the float, symbolizing beauty, growth, and creative expression.

Take a look a the float and what to expect in Charlie Worsham interview from Mississippi's WLOX.

The 137th Rose Parade will be broadcast from live Pasadena, California, New Year’s Day at 11AM EST/ 8AM PSD on NBC.

"Sesame Street" Officially a Hit on Netflix!

According to a recent post by Sesame Workshop, their recent partnership with Netflix is proving to be a big hit.


Season 56 debuted as the streamer's #1 kids show in the US and regions around the world and new content from the season was streamed more than 9 million times on PBS KIDS platforms. 

Below is the original post.

 
It’s a milestone moment for Sesame Street. Season 56 of Sesame Street debuted last week on Netflix and PBS KIDS and quickly became the #1 kids show on Netflix in the US and regions around the world. In its first week alone, Season 56 content was streamed more than 9 million times on PBS KIDS platforms. 

Writer Emily Horgan underscored that this momentum reflects “deliberate, strategic endeavors to cook up the perfect footprint across the most relevant touchpoints of modern-day preschool audiences.” She further noted that Sesame Street’s approach to Roblox “offers a strong reference point for preschool brands… age-appropriate, safe, and genuinely additive for young audiences rather than purely promotional.” 

From Netflix and PBS KIDS to YouTube and Roblox, thank you for your continued support as we meet kids where they are and advance our mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.

Sesame Street Season 56 is now streaming on Netflix and PBS Kids!

Although they sometimes seem like polar opposites, she and Red Fraggle are the best of friends.

AppleTV Debuts "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock" Trailer!

AppleTV released the trailer for their upcoming Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock special, "The First Snow of Fraggle Rock" !


The Fraggles eagerly await the first snow of the season and all the traditions it brings, but when only a single snowflake arrives and Gobo can’t write the yearly holiday song everyone is expecting, the season is thrown off course. For the first time ever, Gobo journeys to the human world — or as the Fraggles refer to it: Outer Space — to find some unexpected musical inspiration.

And in another first, back at the Gorgs’ castle, Junior is overwhelmed by the arrival of a new baby Gorg joining the family. This holiday season, the Fraggles and Gorgs learn that beautiful moments aren’t always perfect — but they can be as unique and memorable as snowflakes.

 

The First Snow of Fraggle Rock premieres Friday, December 5 on Apple TV
