While not as popular as "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" is the third leg of the Peanuts holiday triumvirate.
Like a classic sitcom, Charlie Brown finds himself having to host Thanksgiving dinner for Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Franklin, and the rest of the gang on short notice. However, he has neither the time nor the ingredients for a proper feast, so he enlists Snoopy and Woodstock to help make a meal out of toast, popcorn, and jelly beans.
The plot of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" treads a little over the same ground as the Christmas special, but it does feature Snoopy and Woodstock more.
