6/10
lacks a compelling overarching story
23 December 2014
Charlie Brown struggles to sell Christmas wreaths door to door. Sally is not much help. Peppermint Patty is trying to read a book. She's hanging out with Marcie. Snoopy is ringing the bell as Santa. Sally tries to write a letter to Santa and tries to understand Christmas. Charlie Brown is trying to buy a pair of gloves for Peggy Jean. Peppermint Patty volunteers to be Mary in the school play but the role is already given to Marcie.

It's a scattering of Christmas themed sketches. This is in-line with the other Charlie Brown shows where distinct separate cartoon skits are lump together. It doesn't have flow. The story is certainly not as compelling as the original 65 Christmas special. It feels rather disjointed and cobbled together from several stories. However, it is still Charlie Brown and has that innocent charm as always.
