    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Vince Guaraldi sung the vocals for the song "Little Birdie," one of the rare moments he lended his voice to the music he created for the Peanuts specials, the other times being "Joe Cool" in "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" from 1972 and "There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown" from 1973.
    • Goofs
      It is puzzling why Snoopy did not serve the turkey and pumpkin pie to Charlie Brown's guests rather than saving them for himself and Woodstock. Serving to the guests would have been truer to the spirit of Thanksgiving and the two would have simply eaten the leftovers.
    • Quotes
      • Charlie Brown: We've got ANOTHER holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us.
      • Sally Brown: I haven't even finished eating all of my Halloween candy!
      • Linus van Pelt: Sally, Thanksgiving is a very important holiday. Ours was the first country in the world to make a national holiday to give thanks.
      • Sally Brown: [to Charlie Brown] Isn't he the cutest thing?
    • Crazy credits
      During the closing credits, Snoopy and Woodstock both have a slice of pumpkin pie.
    • Alternate versions
      The version of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" that aired on CBS in the mid 1980s trimmed the segment with Snoopy and Woodstock getting dressed for the dinner after setting up the table. It cuts from the scene after Snoopy pulls out his costume and a small hat for Woodstock to the scene where they walk up to the house.
