On this day in 1965, CBS aired the first animated TV special based on the comic strip Peanuts by Charles Schulz. Highlights of the program included Linus’ speech about the true meaning of Christmas, and the iconic little Charlie Brown Christmas tree that could barely hold one ornament.
The show won an Emmy and a Peabody award, and even the jazz soundtrack was hugely successful, selling over 4 million copies. A Charlie Brown Christmas paved the way for several other Peanuts television specials.
