More Cartoons Back to A Charlie Brown Christmas

I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown is one of the Peanuts made-for-television specials. The hour-long special first aired on ABC on December 9, 2003. It was released to DVD on October 26, 2004.

 

Plot

Having seen the relationship between Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Rerun van Pelt is desperate for a dog for Christmas; however, his family does not believe that Rerun is ready for or capable of caring for a dog and they refuse. Frustrated, Rerun asks Charlie Brown if he can play with Snoopy. While initially cooperative, Snoopy quickly tires of Rerun's idea of fun and games, and after a while Snoopy begins to snub Rerun.

Instead, Snoopy commissions Spike, one of Snoopy's siblings, to make a trip to the Twin Cities. When Spike arrives, the van Pelts are appalled to see Spike's notoriously slender figure and take him in. After a short stay, Spike regains significant weight but decides ultimately to return to his home in the desert.
