When Snoopy helps Charlie Brown make Thanksgiving dinner, he serves toast, popcorn, pretzels, jelly beans, and ice cream. (Not judging. I'm kind of into it.)
Then Charlie LEAVES HIM BEHIND to go to his grandma's for a "real dinner" -- RUDE.
So Snoopy makes a turkey with veggies and a pumpkin pie for himself and Woodstock, and you're like, "Yeah, you deserve a good meal!" but you know what? It's weird to serve Woodstock a turkey.

Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie... and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a REALLY big turkey party. Good grief! All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day. With such good friends, Charlie Brown - and all of us - have so many reasons to be thankful.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, heartwarming special that captures the anxiety of trying to pull off the perfect holiday, then gently subverts it, the charm lies not in flawless execution but in bumbling earnestness and the friends who show up anyway.
