Thanksgiving is fast approaching and that means Charlie Brown and friends will be making their annual appearance with A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving! The Thanksgiving episode is the 10th holiday special in the Charlie Brown collection, and features everyone’s favorite people pleaser trying to accommodate his friends who invite themselves over for Turkey Day. There is of course a history lesson from Linus and some Snoopy shenanigans thrown in for good measure.
The beloved Charles M. Schulz special is a holiday tradition for almost half a century, and this year, the viewing options are a bit different. Instead of catching the special on ABC as viewers have done for years now, the Charlie Brown collection has primarily moved to streaming.
