The theme of this year's parade “A Very RVA Christmas” and features Nutzy and Nutasha of the Richmond Flying Squirrels leading off the holiday tradition.
"No one embodies the spirit of RVA like Nutzy and Nutasha of the Flying Squirrels," Parade Director Beth Karrer said. “We wanted to honor the rich history of Christmas in RVA, including 39 years of the Dominion Energy Christmas Parade!”

The team made it to the Eastern League playoffs this season for the first time since 2014.
