While people often gush — and rightly so — about the Charlie Brown Christmas and Halloween cartoons, I often feel like this is the “lost” Peanuts holiday special that doesn’t quite get the attention of its more popular siblings.
Charlie Brown, through no fault of his own, gets roped into preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for Peppermint Patty and all his friends. And this from a boy who can barely make cold cereal and toast. Snoopy and Woodstock lend a hand in the kitchen with predictably silly results.
While it’s not as iconic as some of the other Peanuts specials, it’s a good story that really grasps the characters very well. This DVD also features “The Mayflower Voyages,” one of several specials that cast the Peanuts characters as participants in American history. It’s a good educational tool for the kids, mixing in some of the harsher facts of life at Plymouth Rock with the softer, happier mood of the Peanuts gang. Together, these two cartoons are well worth the DVD.

This video takes me back to being a kid and being able to stay up and watch the specials that came on TV for the holidays. This is just a great simple cartoon for kids and parents alike. You will never be disapointed with any Charlie Brown cartoon. From Lucy’s contant quest to never let Charlie Brown never kick the football,to Charlie Browns deep thoughts on life. You will always love this one.

This is a classic. Even though Charles Schultz hated it when he first saw it, it has become one of the most beloved Charlie Brown caroons of all time. People get very antsy if their networks don’t put it on every year. As usual, Charlie Brown has his trials and tribulations as he tries to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for kids who have invited themselves to dinner. Even Snoopy and the bird get into the act.
This cartoon is great even for the little ones. It doesn’t matter if you are 3 or 93. It’s a treat for the whole family.
Enjoy it, Thanksgiving or any time of year!
