“Miracle on 34th Street was shot on location in New York City, with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade sequences filmed live while the 1946 parade was happening. ‘It was a mad scramble to get all the shots we needed, and we got to do each scene only once,’ Maureen O'Hara recalled in her memoir. ‘It was bitterly cold that day, and Edmund [Gwenne] and I envied Natalie (Wood) and John Payne, who were watching the parade from a window.’“ [source]
