There is a person named Karen Newman who recorded a Christmas song titled "It's Christmas Eve on Woodward Avenue." It's an olden-days Christmas story told from a Detroiter's perspective.

Hudson's, specifically their Thanksgiving Day Parade (which is known today as America's Thanksgiving Day Parade) was mentioned in the following lyric:
Santa Claus came to town
