Other Christmas Specials
Three lesser-known Christmas specials were produced decades after the 1965 original.
- It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown (1992). This special was 30 minutes in length with commercials and aired on CBS. It was abandoned by CBS shortly thereafter; it was released on DVD as a bonus feature with A Charlie Brown Christmas.
- Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales (2002). This special is a slightly shorter 25 minutes with commercials and debuted on ABC. It has been released on DVD along with I Want a Dog for Christmas...
- I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003) This special is a full hour long with commercials and debuted on ABC. It is available on DVD.
While not true sequels, several other Charlie Brown holiday season specials were produced: 1966's It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, 1973's A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!, among several others. All three of those mentioned still receive airplay on ABC to this day, with the first two having aired on a near-continuous basis since their debuts.
In 2002, a parody video called "A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa" was released by an anonymous person identifying themselves as "Most Offensive Video"; the video has since gone 'viral' on the Internet.

Famous quotes containing the word christmas:
“He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees;
My woods the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
I hadn’t thought of them as Christmas trees.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
