Celebrate More Than Christmas With These Lesser-Known Peanuts Holiday Specials

Good news: Charlie Brown is invited to a New Year’s party, where he might dance with a red-haired girl! Bad news: He’s also assigned a reading. war and peace It’s winter break, and it’s only just begun. Meanwhile, Snoopy makes the ultimate party blunder by sniffing Lucy’s root beer.

The whole gang is preparing for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, no one will be saying this special’s title phrase to poor Charlie Brown this year. However, he is not the only one having relationship problems this time; Linus is in love with his teacher.

Peppermint Patty and Marcy can’t seem to get this whole egg painting thing right. For some reason, a waffle iron was involved. But don’t worry, says Linus. When Easter morning arrives, the Easter Beagle delivers beautifully colored eggs to all the good children. Now, where have you heard that?

Now, Election Day isn’t technically a holiday, but maybe it should be. Lucy takes on the role of campaign manager and occasionally blackmails “voters” on behalf of Linus, who is about to be elected class president. That is, until he brings out a gourd gift in front of the entire school.

Yes, there were other Christmas specials too! The first film features, among other things, Sally and Peppermint Patty, who are struggling with their roles in a school competition. In the latter, Linus and Lucy’s younger brother, Relan, decides to adopt Snoopy’s younger brother, Spike, but the outcome is questionable. While these specials don’t match the charm of the original Christmas classic, they’re still a lot of fun for Peanuts fans.
