The Peanuts gang at Thanksgiving dinner

This animated short film tells the story of Charlie Brown attempting to organize what may very well be the first-ever “Friendsgiving.” As the Peanuts gang throws together an impromptu celebration (with a menu featuring toast, popcorn, and jelly beans), they learn about the true meaning of the holiday.


The Peanuts gang on the Mayflower

Immediately following A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, ABC will be airing a bonus Charlie Brown feature called This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers.

This deluxe version also includes This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers and Play It Again, Charlie Brown as bonus features, for over an hour of viewing time.

    Thank you for this post!!! I started the tradition of watching all of these classics when my son was first born and now it’s something that all of my kids look forward to! A few years ago I missed a few. This is so helpful! Thanks!!!

    • Stacy F (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That’s a great tradition, Elle! Glad we could help!

    • Angela V.

      We do the same! Love that tradition! 🙂

    I watched The Great Pumpkin with my kids for their first time right before Halloween via ABC. I was seriously disappointed that they showed onlinemercials for the new Terminator movie several times. Definitely not a young child friendly onlinemercial. I emailed ABC about it and they told me that their station is aimed to adult audiences. 🙄

      When it onlinees to channels that are not specifically for kids I tend to record the program on my dvr that way I can fast forward thru the onlinemercials as there tend to be things I don’t want to sit thru with them.

    I bought the Charlie Brown Holidays as a set which was a onlinebo of bluray and dvd for a really good price a few years ago. (Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas) That way you don’t have to put up with onlinemercials and can watch anytime. I also like the Garfield Holiday dvd too.
