A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965)

Directed by Bill Melendez

Christmastime is here. Happiness and cheer. And for Peanuts fans everywhere, it just wouldn’t be Christmas without this classic holiday delight. Christmas lights may be twinkling red and green, but Charlie Brown has the Yuletide blues. To get in the holiday spirit, he takes Lucy’s advice and directs the Christmas play. And what’s a Christmas play without a Christmas tree? But everyone makes fun of the short, spindly nevergreen Charlie Brown brings back – until the real meaning of Christmas works its magic once again.

This Christmas special is probably my all time favorite. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and the whole gang have been part of my favorite comicstrip of all time: Peanuts. It is a no brainer than that I love this special so much. It has a lot of heart, charm, and depth when you think about it.

I remember watching it on TV as a kid, checking it out on VHS from the library, and finally buying a copy of my own on DVD. It’s now on Blu-ray, 4K UHD and streaming on Apple TV+.
