It wouldn’t be Christmas without Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the rest of the Peanuts gang. ABC will air the Christmas classic A Charlie Brown Christmas on Thursday, December 22, just in time to kick off your holiday celebrations.
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a Christmas classic, combining a memorable Charles M. Schultz story with music that has become part of the holiday canon. Who can forget the sad little tree that Charlie Brown finds on the Christmas tree lot? A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a holiday tradition in households across the nation for years and years. It isn’t often that generations of families can sit and enjoy the same show together, sharing laughs and creating new memories.
From ABC: In the digitally remastered 1965 special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism that he sees everywhere during the Christmas season. Lucy suggests that he become the director of the school Christmas pageant, and Charlie Brown accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, Charlie Brown needs Linus’ help to learn what that real meaning of Christmas is.
With the 2015 Peanuts movie introducing a new generation to the Peanuts gang, this is a great opportunity to continue the tradition. A Charlie Brown Christmas is appropriate for all ages; fair warning, it’s addictive so be ready to watch it over and over again with the young Peanuts fans in your family.
