The 2nd Annual Comcast Holiday Spectacular (all photos by M. McClellan)

The Comcast Holiday Spectacular is back for a second year, and it’s better than ever. You probably thought that last year’s show was plenty impressive, with aerial views of nighttime Philly and a sweeping trip through a snow-covered forest. Well, this year you’ll get all that, but it will be in vibrant 3-D.

This year’s Holiday Spectacular will be shown at the top of each hour (expect at 5 p.m. on weekdays, so that all those folks who work at Comcast can exit the building unimpeded), starting on Thanksgiving Day and running through New Year’s Day. Attendants will be stationed at the various entrances into the building, handing out free 3-D glasses.

This year, Comcast has partnered with the United Way of Southeastern PA to encourage people to help fight hunger this holiday season. At the beginning and end of each showing of the Holiday Spectacular, Shaquille O’Neal appears on the screen and invites people to donate $5 to the United Way by texting “Philly” to 864833.
