by

This next giveaway will be sure to delight any Snoopy or Peanuts fan! The Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz that began in 1950 and lasted for 50 years, went way beyond the newspaper. Snoopy has become one of the most beloved comic strip characters, along with Charlie Brown and the whole gang of Peanuts characters.   Holiday TV Specials such as A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown have become timeless classics, and must-see shows during holiday time, and they continue to delight each year. Also- be sure to check out Peanuts.com as it is a nice hub for more information and partner links all in one place.

We are huge Peanuts fans around here.  My kiddos love Charlie Brown!  We’re always so excited when the Peanuts specials come on TV during the holidays.  My kiddos were more than thrilled about the Peanuts Gift pack we got!  They immediately opened the DVD’s and watched them all within a few days!

Thanks to Peanuts Worldwide, one lucky reader will win a prize package that includes the Peanuts holiday DVD Collection, Peanuts 60th Anniversary Yahtzee Game, A Charlie Brown Christmas Book, a Holiday Cookie Baking Kit, a Craft Kit, and Whitman’s Chocolates with a plush Snoopy!

  4. My favorite is Snoopy! Who doesn’t love a dog that smart. We have 2 beagles at home that are almost as smart as Snoopy!

  7. I like Woodstock, but it is so hard to decide. My family thinks I am obsessed with Peanuts…I am just happy to have two little boys so I can foist my collectibles on them. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this prize.

  9. I was thrilled to see they overhauled the website. I used to get Snoopy Etc. catalog but when they discontinued it it was hard to get products. Nice surprise!

  10. I learned that the dancing girls featured in A Charlie Brown Christmas are named “Three” and “Four,” . What a crazy name for them! love it.

  16. Oh My! My 6 year old son absolutely LOVES Snoopy and the Peanuts!

    I also follow you on Facebook and by email

  18. I think my favorite character is Linus. He’s a loyal friend to Charlie Brown & I love when he tells the Christmas Story from the 2nd Chapter of Luke.

  46. Snoopy is my fav because he is so cute!!! I used to have a Snoopy when I was a kid I carried around by the neck so much his head fell off. 🙁

  48. I didn’t realize Charlie Brown ever had a girlfriend! That was fun to learn. I love ALL of the Peanuts, but I think Linus brings such a sweet tenderness in his childlike faith (be it Christmas or the Great Pumpkin) – he’s adorable!

  50. I think I was most surprised that Snoopy has so many siblings. I don’t think I have ever seens them on the shows.

  84. I was surprised to learn that the dancing girls in a charlie brown christmas are named three and four

  85. Q. What are the names of the teachers in PEANUTS?
    A. Actually, there’s a bunch.

    The following info was copied from the PEANUTS Collector Club FAQ, penned by master collector and PEANUTS aficionado Derrick Bang (www.peanutscollectorclub.com):

    * Mrs. Donovan — mentioned as Charlie Brown’s teacher, on 2/17/66.
    * Miss Othmar, later Mrs. Hagemeyer — Linus’ favorite teacher.
    * Miss Halverson — Linus’ new teacher, after Miss Othmar is fired during a strike. (She later reappears, sending poor Miss Halverson into comic-strip limbo.)
    * Miss Swanson — mentioned as Peppermint Patty’s teacher, on 12/8/69.

    Peppermint Patty also had another teacher, named Miss Tenure, that most notably accused her of stealing a box of gold stars from her desk.

    I picked that one just because I like the “whaw whaw whaw” when the teacher talks on the animated versions 🙂

  109. I love Charlie himself! My heart always aches for him when he doesnt get a card! I think I relate to him a little… 😉

  127. Woodstock because he was my favorite toy I would take with me everywhere I went when I was little.

  129. Charlie Brown because he is the kind of friend you can rely on. Plus, sometimes I feel sorry for him & just want to give him a big ol hug!

  158. Snoopy is by far my favorite character. For one thing, I love dogs, and secondly I love his attitude and how in the end it’s him who always saves the day.Dog is man’s best friend.

  164. I was most surprised to find out that my favorite character Snoopy has a bunch of siblings! Who knew!

  170. I was surprised to find out Chralie Brown had a girlfriend between 1990 and 1991 – go Charles!

  176. My favorite character is Sally Brown!! She was such a girly girl that was laid back and I was a blonde little girl and loved to wear pink just like her!

  190. I didn’t know the girl with the natural curly hair was named Frieda! Awesome!

    My favorite character is and always will be Snoopy/Joe Cool! He is so cute and cuddly, and I have been collecting Snoopy Christmas ornaments, books, movies, toys, trophies, etc. for as long as I can remember. I even have a Joe Cool tattoo!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win such great goodies! I’d be able to add a few things to my personal collection, as well as offer some as gifts.

  196. Linus is my fav. My little boy is just like him and takes his balnkie every where he goes.

  209. It was interesting to me to find out that Snoopy had siblings and there’s a list of names. 🙂

  233. Snoopy is my favorite! That is the last “funny” my grandfather wanted me to read him before he passed away.

  246. I love snoopy, he is a dog that can do everything. Who can get there dog house to fly!!!!!!!

  250. My favorite Character is Sally because I played her in my 5th grade Christmas program A Charlie Brown Christmas. Good memories!

  251. When I visited the FAQ section in Peanutes, I was most surprised by the fact that a trombone muted by a plunger was how the voice of the teacher’s wha wha wha was created!

  253. Cancel my last post, what I meant to say was: I enjoyed reading about the teacher’s voices being made by a trombone on the TV specials because one of my sons plays trombone.

    A. He was a barber – just as Mr. Schulz’s own father was.

  284. All of the Peanuts characters are my favorite because each one of them represents some part of adult myself or part of myself as a childhood.

    I subscribe to your email and follow your blog on FB.

  285. I was quite surprised that the little red-haired girl that Charlie Brown was in love with didn’t actually have a name. For some reason, as a child, my sister and I always called her “Heather”.

  286. I love snoopy because it was a nickname i picked up in junior high when running track. People started buying me memorabilia and it stuck.

  292. Snoopy of course… he is the comedian and Peanuts wouldn’t be the same without him!

  296. Well, my favorite was always the little brunette with a green bow in her hair (can’t remember her name) with a matching plaid green top. She was always just so adorable. My favorite Peanuts that I can name is Linus. My little one just started getting into Peanuts (we’re nuts 🙂 about their movies) and is a huge fan. This set would be the biggest hit this Christmas – even more than the kitchen set!

  298. I had no idea the answers to most of those FAQ’s. It was all pretty surprising, though I found it interesting the names of the twin girls (and the other family members) were numbers.

  301. I love Schroeder. I’m a piano player myself & I’ve always loved watching him play the Peanuts theme song on his little piano.

  306. My and my little boy’s favorite Peanuts character is Snoopy. Who wouldn’t love that cute dog?! He is so cool and fun! Thanks for entering me!

  332. Snoopy. I carried him in my first fashion when I was 5. I still have him too. 30 years later

  445. Well I would have to say Snoopy…my 2 year old son just discovered the Peanuts Gang while we watched the Thanksgiving Special together on TV. Thankfully I DVR’d it because he is no a HUGE Snoopy fan. Of course with it being Christmas we have to go and say hi or hug the Snoopys in the store. Thankfully we just bought him a lil Snoopy Bean Bag Animal an he takes him everywhere an sleeps with him…I know that this would be a GREAT gift for my 2 year old! Thanks for the chance to win!
