New York, NY (CNS) - Katharine McPhee is set to release her sophomore album, "Unbroken," and has lined up some major appearances for Thanksgiving Day, including the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" on NBC.

McPhee will perform her new single "Had It All" during NBC's telecast of the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" on Thursday, November 26th. Airing from 9am to noon in each time zone, McPhee joins performers like Boys Like Girls and Andrea Bocelli for the event.

McPhee will also perform on "Kaleidoscope," which unites figure skating, music, and celebrates cancer survivors. The special, which airs Thanksgiving Day at 4pm/ET on Fox, features the return of cancer survivors Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill to the ice, as well as performances from David Archuleta, Olivia Newton-John, and David Foster.

McPhee also recently released a version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" to iTunes. The Idol runner-up dedicated the holiday single, produced by Dreamlab, to the members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

"I am so thankful to the men and women of the Armed Forces for their service and dedication," she said. "We live freely because of their sacrifice. My involvement with the USO and meeting with the Wounded Warriors is an honor and I cherish any moment I get with them."

McPhee's upcoming second album, "Unbroken," featuring "Had It All" and "Say Goodbye," hits stores January 5th.
