Synopsis
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.

Reviewer notes
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersThere is some hate behind this for no reason aside from what Lenin said about having to destroy the culture. A lot of culture and traditions have been under attack due to false pretenses lately haven't they?

RecommendedTo start off with I give this one a 68% rating, I rate the Great Pumpkin 85% and The Christmas Special 80%. This one is also good, but it does not quite match the other 2 as it's the 3rd in the Charlie Brown Holiday specials, it just does not have the feel that the other 2 had, they were great from start to finish, kept me interested & were funny at times.…
