Podcast appearances and mentions of A Charlie Brown Christmas

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas! We kick off this festive episode by debuting our Christmas sweaters and battling some technical difficulties with a new microphone that may or may not sound like a tin can... you let us know. We discuss the overwhelming stress of the season, the joy of receiving fancy hot chocolate from London, and why Erin refuses to drink eggnog. What even is it? We also get a major update on Dan, who has taken his obsession to a new level by building a luxury habitat for a toad living in the garage, complete with a moss dome, a pool, and a working miniature lamp post.We then transition into a "Holiday Survival Guide," offering our best tips for enduring awkward parties, which mostly involves "dissociating," holding a phone as a shield, and finding an extrovert to cling to. We debate whether "The Grinch" is a name, a job title, or an ethnicity, and vent our frustrations about Apple TV holding A Charlie Brown Christmas hostage. Finally, we react to the terrifying Austrian tradition of Krampus runs (where people get whipped by demons), listen to a spam voicemail live on the air, and discuss the statistic that 1 in 4 Americans plan their entire Christmas Day around watching sports.

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH! MAYBE TOO HIGH? JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD toast and roast the seasonal cinematic chestnuts that have been served to genre fans over the years. Not even The Grinch can stop… OVERRATED & UNDERRATED: THE HOLIDAY EDITION! Every holiday season, we Monster Partiers celebrate with an expansive and diverse playlist of winter wonder films. Whether made for film or TV, the entertainment industry has not been shy in churning out a Santa's sleigh-bag of holiday-themed horror, sci-fi, and fantasy fare. Ranging from beloved animated TV specials like Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and A Charlie Brown Christmas, to Christmas classics like It's A Wonderful Life, March of The Wooden Soldiers, and White Christmas, and even offbeat and often controversial viewing like Silent Night Deadly Night, Gremlins, Fatman, The Thing, and Batman Returns, it's relatively safe to say that there's something for every taste. But are all these so-called classics as good as everyone thinks? And should some films and TV specials have a better reputation than they currently hold? Whatever your opinions, we guarantee that this episode will present challenging arguments that only MONSTER PARTY could inflict. Joining us for this canticle of criticism is a long-time friend of MONSTER PARTY, and our answer to Kris Kringle. He's a brilliantly talented comedian, actor, writer, producer, and podcaster, who has worked on or created such genre-friendly projects as THE SIMPSONS, SUPER ADVENTURE TEAM, THE GEX TRILOGY, TED, CREEPSHOW: THE SERIES, TALES OF HALLOWEEN, STAN AGAINST EVIL, and HANGING WITH DOCTOR Z. Please welcome back, the Christmas miracle that is… DANA GOULD! HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MONSTER PARTIERS! AND HAVE A CUP OF EGG NOG, IF ONLY TO ANNOY LARRY.

Front Row Classics is beginning a week long holiday celebration with several Christmas specials. We welcome back Scott Nevins to chat about classic Christmas TV specials. Brandon and Scott diiscuss everything from A Charlie Brown Christmas to the numerous Rankin/Bass specials.  It's a fun and nostalgic walk down memory lane. 

Welcome to a special Holiday Edition of Pop Goes the Couch, a limited series that looks at some of the greatest Christmas TV Specials in history.   In this edition, Steve Riddle is joined by Jeremy Nichols as they live-watch the 1965 special, "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Join the pair as they discuss what was on TV that same night, Christmas memories, Jeremy's time working at Toys 'R' Us and its inner workings, Steve working at the movie theater during the holidays, ranking the 3 main Peanuts Holiday specials, Charlie Brown's Christmas dilemma, tropes in Peanuts shorts, Snoopy winning the lights and display contest, the lack of adults, real trees or fake trees, Linus explaining the true meaning of Christmas, and the iconic scene at the end.   So join Steve and Jeremy as they brave the snow with or without sugar and discuss arguably the greatest Christmas TV Special in history.

It's our annual holiday spectacular! And once again we're talking about old Christmas cartoons, because that's all we care about. But this time, we're looking at a couple of cartoons we've never discussed on the show before, and they're both based on classic comic strips. (They're also both on YouTube, if you want to play along.) From 1979, A Family Circus Christmas features a ghost Santa, a candy cane farm in the clouds, a busty mom, and plenty of crazy jazz flute. And from 1982, Ziggy's Gift features the scrawny tree from Charlie Brown Christmas, the Irish cop from Frosty the Snowman, a creepy gray guy, and a million screaming turkeys. Both are magnificent. Also: A glitter bomb Christmas card from Panda! A Manos: The Hands of Fate Christmas card from Jacob! A lost Ziggy pencil sharpener! A lost TV show described as "Mission Impossible meets The Love Boat"! And the Mighty Morphin Figgy Pudding Pages! So please throw up the sash, turn with a jerk, and enjoy. The Flopcast website!

The true meaning of Christmas can easily get buried under gifts, traditions, and cultural noise, but it has always centered on one life-changing reality: the birth of Jesus Christ. Reflecting on Christmas through the lens of faith helps shift our focus from material celebration to the eternal hope and salvation Christ brings into the world. Highlights Childhood Christmas traditions can unintentionally center more on materialism than meaning Familiar cultural moments, like classic Christmas specials, can point back to the Gospel Christmas offers a unique opportunity to share faith with those who may not know Christ The birth of Jesus fulfills long-awaited hope and promise Christ entered the world humbly, not with extravagance or recognition Christmas is an invitation to refocus our hearts on salvation, not spectacle Sharing the meaning of Christmas helps renew our own faith Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Reflecting on the True Meaning of Christmas By Vivian Bricker Bible Reading: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:11). A Christmas tradition in my family was watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” each year. Countless times, I saw this television special, but its meaning would elude me. While I could blame childish ways of thinking, the real reason I wasn’t paying attention to the more profound meaning was that I was rather fascinated by the materialism of Christmas. I loved the gifts, fancy dinners, and elaborate decorations. When I rewatched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as an adult, I quickly saw all of the connections it had with the Gospel. Linus shares the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. As an adult, I was shocked that this Christmas special continued to air in such an anti-Christian world. Nonetheless, I am thankful this special continues to be shared, and hopefully it has led many people to the true meaning of Christmas. Sadly, so many people still do not know that Christmas is about the coming of Christ. They are blinded to the truth. The devil will continue to blind people; however, Christmas is the perfect way to share the Gospel and combat the devil’s schemes. By sharing the true meaning of Christmas with others, it can help them come to know the Lord as their personal Savior. Intersecting Faith & Life: A classic Christmas passage you can share with others is Luke 2:11: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” From this passage, we are told that a Savior has been born and He is the Messiah. As we share this passage with others, it can help us reflect on the true meaning of Christmas ourselves. During the timespan from the fall of mankind until the coming of the Lord, everyone was awaiting the Messiah. Endless Old Testament prophecies pointed to the coming Messiah, who would bring lasting peace to His people. When Gabriel shares the message detailed in Luke 2:11, the people would have been overjoyed at this wonderful news. The Savior, who would save them from their sins, had finally come. When we reflect on this truth, it helps us understand the significance of the Lord coming down to earth. He is our Savior, who left Heaven in order to save us from our sins. He was humbly born in a stable without any special treatment. Jesus deserved every wonderful thing, yet He entered the world on a silent night. Because of the Lord’s birth into the world, He was able to grow up, live a sinless life, and die for our sins. This is what Christmas is all about, and Jesus is the One we should be celebrating. We can do this by sharing our knowledge of Christ with others. Christmas only comes once a year, yet the Lord sacrificed His life in order for us to have peace every day of the year. Who can you share the true meaning of Christmas with this week? Whenever you are distracted from the true meaning of Christmas, how can you bring your heart back to the Lord? Pray with me: Dear Lord, thank You for showing me the true meaning of Christmas—You. Help me to always stay focused on You and Your birth into the world. Please also help me to lead others to know You this Christmas season. I praise You, Lord. Amen.

Some will watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Some will watch Frosty the Snowman. Some will watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. You, however, should watch The Sports Information Christmas Spectacular, as Kent Lowe, Michael Bonnette and Bill Franques talk all things Holiday season (and a little LSU sports) on the latest episode.

The hour opens with more from Petros Papadakis, including laughs over favorite guilty-pleasure restaurants and Petros’ unfiltered take on Nick Reiner. The conversation blends sports, pop culture, and classic Conway-style banter. The show then shifts to major national news as Fox News reports the suspected shooter connected to the Brown University case was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire. Additional details later emerge during a news conference confirming the same outcome. Dean Sharp, the House Whisperer, joins the program to discuss the state beginning repair work on an abandoned oil well in Newport Beach that has left a nearby home red-tagged indefinitely.

The secret power of any holiday tradition is repetition. Endless re-runs of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas or A Charlie Brown Christmas are what engraved them into the cultural consciousness as "classics." So, in a similar spirit, we're re-releasing this very special seasonal ceremony to make your holy days a little more meta and a bit more magical. Is Santa Claus a wizard? What is the true meaning of Christmas? Did you get me any presents? All of these classic Christmas questions are at long last answered in this very special Meta Modern Xmas Special!

In 1965, Christmas television in the United States changed forever when, A Charlie Brown Christmas, premiered. Nothing about its creation and tone said it was going to be a success, but it touched people and was a huge hit. A hit that has continued to deliver Christmas Magic year after year for decades. I start the episode talking about something that became important in the eighties. That's when it wasn't enough to just watch the special. Now with VCRs, you could own the special. Sure, you could eventually buy or rent a copy, but with a blank tape, you could make your own copy. So I discuss what that was like in my home at the time. Then I dive into the special itself. I discuss the people in front of and behind the camera, its production, music, and much more. I also reference some newspaper articles, and I will share my clippings over on Patreon, so if you are a support, make sure to check them out. It isn't Christmas for me unless I watch, A Charlie Brown Christmas. It is a special that not just enhances my holiday mood, but helped to define it. Many of us who grew up watching it, when we try and think about what the season is really about, will hear Linus' speech in our head. Its a message that is presented in an earnest way that doesn't feel preachy, and for network programming, that is pretty amazing.

The BoomXers are back at it after a week off. We're not sponsored by A Charlie Brown Christmas. We've got Keywords, Jimmy Reads, and a special Christmas Mashup. We hope you enjoy!

It's a "good news, bad news" kind of episode, and we start by ripping off the Band-Aid to talk about the difficult spot Milwaukee restaurants are in currently. Within just a few days, city institutions Beans & Barley and The National both announced plans to close, and several others have publicly pleaded for support as the traditionally slower winter months loom. We do our small part in the podcast by sharing a few important ways you can support the local ecosystem --- from gift cards to positive online reviews to simply visiting more often.On the more positive side of things, Ann dives into Milwaukee's recent "bakery boom," which afforded her the opportunity to sample delightful treats from recently opened spots like Poppy, Matilda and Midwest Sad. She also leans into her Wisconsin native-ness by revealing the secret to a perfect relish tray (hint: it involves a surprising grilled fruit).Finally, you'll hear about the holiday happenings coming up in Milwaukee, including “Noël à Paris” from Charles E. Fromage, a Charles Dickens-themed dinner at the Grain Exchange and a pair of events at Lupi & Iris with pretty distinct tones: a Charlie Brown Christmas and a Laurent-Perrier champagne dinner.#####This Bites is sponsored by Whiskey Brown Whiskey-Spiked Cookies.

The holiday season is a big deal in the Peanuts universe. Sure, there's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and that's great, BUT did you know that in the 1960s, Charles Schulz drew not one but TWO original Christmas stories - "Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking" and "The Christmas Story" which appeared in the December 1963 "Good Housekeeping Magazine" and December 1968 "Woman's Day Magazine" respectively? Me neither! In 148, we take a look at those stories and, of course, the magazines they appeared in. We also have a Random Strip of the Month, This Month in Peanuts History, the latest news, and a look at another episode of "Snoopy in Space".  This Christmas stocking of a podcast episode is nearly bursting at the seams.

“Christmas Movies with Shaun”It's Christmas time. Why not invite Shaun to a conversation about something we both like. Christmas movies. We randomly found a list of the top 20 of all time and went from there. Some on the list were obvious, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and other more recent ones didn't make the cut like, The Family Stone and The Holiday. There were the earlier ones which I look on fondly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Not so much for Shaun. His nostalgia is for when he was growing up. Makes sense. It's like a Venn diagram. His, mine, and the ones we both like in the middle like Daddy's Home 2. Then there is the newest contender, Spirited. It's a musical with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. My bar for this was so low it was on the ground. Not sure why, no offense to either actor. Maybe it was it being yet another Christmas Carol adaptation. Turns out it was better than I expected and I really did enjoy it. Shaun hasn't seen it yet but he's added it to the list of the ones he wants to watch. And I said I'd check out the sequel to A Christmas Story. Who knows, I may add another to my annual viewing list.

Top Stories for December 9th Publish Date: December 9th PRE-ROLL: DTL HOLIDAY From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, December 9th and Happy Birthday to John Malkovich I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Neighborhood Christmas Train Experience rolls into holidays to help benefit Norcross Co-op North Gwinnett Co-op in need of donations for annual Santa Shop Toy Drive Gwinnett's budget hearing draws few speakers, but feedback still accepted All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 1: Neighborhood Christmas Train Experience rolls into holidays to help benefit Norcross Co-op The fourth annual Neighborhood Christmas Train Experience isn’t just about trains—it’s about giving back. Held at 3135 Repps Miller Road in Norcross, this massive holiday display supports Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries, a nonprofit helping families in crisis. “Last year, we raised $11,000,” said organizer Jonathan Galucki. “This year, we’re aiming for $15,000—and we’ve got a matching grant lined up.” The event runs Dec. 13, 14, 20, and 21, with tickets starting at $8. Expect nearly a dozen trains, a LEGO Christmas City, and an interactive Engineer Training Center where kids can run their own trains. Live music, festive vibes, and even a Buffalo Bills watch party? It’s all here. Visit neighborhoodchristmastrain.com for details. STORY 2: North Gwinnett Co-op in need of donations for annual Santa Shop Toy Drive The North Gwinnett Co-Op pulled off a miracle earlier this year, keeping families fed during the food-stamp crisis caused by the federal shutdown. But that effort came at a cost—plans for their annual Kristen Mullen Santa Shop had to take a back seat. “We fed families twice in November and gave out over 600 holiday meals,” said Executive Director Kim Phillips in a heartfelt Facebook video. “But now, we’re behind on toys for the Santa Shop.” The shop, which lets parents choose gifts for their kids with dignity, needs unwrapped toys by Dec. 12—especially sensory toys and gifts for teens. Visit ngcoop.org to help. STORY 3: Gwinnett's budget hearing draws few speakers, but feedback still accepted The public hearing for Gwinnett County’s proposed $2.6 billion 2026 budget? Quiet. Not a single taxpayer showed up to speak. Instead, community leaders—library board, health board, Mosaic Georgia—took the mic to thank commissioners for their expected funding. But here’s the gist: the budget is $66 million leaner than 2025’s, with Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson applauding department heads for trimming costs. “They worked hard to find efficiencies,” she said. Where’s the money going? Public safety and public works dominate—new police HQ, fire station relocations, 911 upgrades, road repaving, and even drones for mall patrols. Want to weigh in?

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - Sugar Hill Holiday STORY 4: 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' coming to Red Clay Music Foundry Dec. 13 Even after all these years, Jeffrey Bützer still loves playing *A Charlie Brown Christmas*. Listening to the record? Not so much. “I don’t really enjoy listening to it anymore,” he admits. “But playing it? That’s different. It’s jazz—you don’t play it the same way twice. T.T. (Mahony) takes different solos every night, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. It keeps me on my toes, and people love it. It’s a tradition for so many, and honestly, I love that.” Bützer, Mahony, bassist Francisco Lora, and vocalists Kelly Winn and Audrey Gamez will bring the Peanuts magic to Eddie Owens Presents at Red Clay in Duluth on Dec. 13. Since the original album is only 35 minutes, the group adds some surprises—like songs from the *Phil Spector Christmas Album*—and even clips from the TV special. “We never announce it; we just do it,” Bützer says. “No one’s ever left early, so I guess it works.” And the fans? They keep coming back. “We’ve got ‘Snoopy Groupies,’” Bützer laughs. “One woman came every year, moved away, and now flies back for the show. It’s wild.” For tickets, visit eddieowenspresents.com. STORY 5: Primerica collects nearly 82,000 food items for Can-A-Thon Christmas is about giving, right? Helping those in need? Primerica hosted its annual canned food drive last week at its Duluth headquarters, collecting a jaw-dropping 81,846 cans for the Salvation Army’s Can-A-Thon. But this year, they ditched the Santa hats for bell-bottoms and tie-dye. The theme? “Can You Dig It.” Employees went all-in on the 60s and 70s vibe—think hippie costumes, peace signs, and even a nod to the Mystery Machine from *Scooby-Doo*. Groovy, right? We’ll be right back. Break 3: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 6: Families of crime victims remember loved ones at annual vigil As the names of Gwinnett County crime victims appeared on the screen at last weeks Crime Victims Candlelight Vigil, Deborah Free leaned into Renee Haygood’s shoulder, her tears unstoppable. Deborah’s daughter, Rachel, was killed in a domestic violence murder-suicide just two months ago. This will be the family’s first Christmas without her. Held at 12Stone Church in Duluth, the vigil—organized by the Gwinnett DA’s Office—offered grieving families a space to honor their loved ones. Three Christmas trees stood adorned with ornaments for victims, while a bell rang for each name read aloud. For Venetia and Jeffrey Coleman, who lost their son Bradley to a carjacking three years ago, the vigil was a chance to share hope. For the Free family, it was their first vigil—but not their last. “We’ll be back every year,” said Rachel’s sister, Jenn. “Her story doesn’t end here.” STORY 7: Grayson LB Tyler Atkinson Named Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year Gwinnett County’s got another star in the books—Grayson senior linebacker Tyler Atkinson just snagged the Gatorade Georgia Football Player of the Year award for 2025-26. That makes him the fifth-ever winner from Gwinnett, and the first since Mill Creek’s Caleb Downs in 2022. Atkinson’s season? Unreal. The 6’3”, 221-pound Texas Longhorns commit racked up 96 tackles, 26 for loss, nine sacks, and 22 QB hurries, leading Grayson to the state quarterfinals. Oh, and he’s a five-star recruit ranked No. 14 nationally for 2026. Off the field? He’s hosting youth football clinics, mentoring at church, and rocking a 3.48 GPA. Atkinson’s also in the running for Gatorade’s National Player of the Year. Big things ahead. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: GCPS Hiring Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

A Charlie Brown Christmas came out on this day and the bidding for Warner Bros. Discovery isn't over yet!

Good grief! It's hard to believe it's been 60 years since “A Charlie Brown Christmas” first aired.    Yet the story of a round-headed young boy disheartened by the commercialization of Christmas remains a beloved holiday classic to this day.    How did the Coke vs. Pepsi advertising wars help prompt “A Charlie Brown Christmas”? What challenges did the team face in translating Charles Schulz's “Peanuts” from comic strip to animated film for the first time? In what ways did this Christmas special differ from the typical TV shows of the 1960s? And why did the TV execs– and even some of the production team– fear “A Charlie Brown Christmas” would flop? We discuss all this and more!   If picturing Linus's monologue and Charlie Brown with his humble tree still adds a little meaning to YOUR Christmas, this is the episode for you!    Thank you to Sara Taylor for her top-of-the-episode shout-out!    How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review, and subscribe!

I played Charlie Brown in my grade school production of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The next year, I was the Grinch that Stole Christmas. Back then, I was a lot like both of those characters: melancholy, cynical, and not enjoying the holidays. Do you get the holiday blues? Check out this episode where I share how I let them go one Christmas under a clear blue desert sky. tedinyourhead.com

Fake can look pretty (ever heard of Instagram?), but sometimes our lives can feel like that fake Christmas tree in your living room. It's beautiful, perfect, and also..sterile and lifeless. This week, Kyle Ranson uses the Bible (and also the classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas") to show us how God stepped away from perfection to chase something better: you.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
