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:
“Monday’s child is fair in face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for its living;
And a child that is born on a Christmas day,
Is fair and wise, good and gay.”
—Anonymous. Quoted in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire, vol. 2, ed. Anna E.K.S. Bray (1838)
