THE Christmas cartoon to watch--if not for the sweet story of the down-and-out Charlie Brown being supported by his often cruel, nasty friends--then definitely for the iconic Vince Guaraldi soundtrack.

My favorite Christmas classic!
Marcus MitchellDecember 19, 2025
I've always loved this. It's rare to see a TV special that is not only family friendly but actually talks about the birth of Jesus as the reason for the season. I think that's great.
