Is it even Thanksgiving without A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving? For so many of us, watching Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang stumble through the holiday has been a must-do tradition. There’s just something about those quirky Peanuts vibes that makes everything feel cozy and fun
WHY IT’S SO ICONIC
First off, that “Thanksgiving dinner” is unforgettable—toast, popcorn, pretzel sticks, and jelly beans? Only Snoopy could pull that off. And Peppermint Patty’s reaction? Classic. But then Linus comes in with his heartfelt little speech about what Thanksgiving is really about, and suddenly it’s all warm and fuzzy feelings.
SNOOPY’S SHENANIGANS
Snoopy completely steals the show, as always. Between battling a folding chair and setting up the most random Thanksgiving feast ever, he’s pure chaos in the best way. And can we talk about that cute moment at the end when he and Woodstock share a turkey dinner? Too sweet.

A FAMILY FAVORITE
Whether you’re 5 or 95, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is just one of those specials everyone can enjoy. Kids love the silly moments, adults love the nostalgia, and everyone loves that wholesome Peanuts charm. It’s just… a vibe.
MAKE PEANUTS A PART OF YOUR THANKSGIVING
Why not take the Peanuts fun a step further this year? Set up a “Snoopy meal” with toast and popcorn as a pre-dinner snack (or let’s be real, dessert). Or decorate a kids’ table with Peanuts-themed goodies—they’ll love it! And of course, watching the special together is a must.
