Top Holiday Classic submitted by Meginator on August 8, 2017, 1:18pm This short film has everything you want in a holiday classic and it stands the test of time beautifully. It's heartwarming all around and never gets old, even after several years of watching it in November and December.

Funny movie! submitted by wookeny on July 22, 2019, 10:10pm The Charlie Brown series are always very funny and nice to watch with little kids and even adults. This movie is especially funny, because it is Christmas, and they throw snowballs at each other. 3/5 stars!!!
