Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales
The special consists of a series of vignettes, each one starring a different member of the Peanuts gang in various Christmastime situations. The installments are as follows:
=== Happy Holidays from Snoopy ===
Snoopy tries to get Lucy to ask him to join her in the skating show, but she's only interested in Schroeder. Later, he dresses up like Santa Claus to work as a bell-ringer to raise money. He is briefly confronted by an angry Rerun, who chastises him for failing to deliver the toys promised to him the previous Christmas. At one point, while dressed as Santa, he plays "Oh! Susanna" on the accordion, which Lucy comments "isn't very Christmasy" as she and Linus walk by. Upon hearing that, he quickly switches to "Christmas Time is Here" (with Woodstock whistling along). He also attempts to make peace with the ferocious cat who lives next door but it takes a ferocious swipe again.
=== Yuletide Greetings from Linus ===
Linus tries to decide what kind of letter he should write to Santa and toys with the affections of the strange girl at school who keeps changing her name, like "Jezebel", "Susan", "Rebecca", "Lydia", and "Rachel".
=== Season's Greetings from Sally ===
Sally decides to give everyone paper airplanes for Christmas and she discovers that "Samantha Claus" is actually "Santa Claus", embarrassing herself at school. Later, she decides to "fall down" a tree for Christmas. When Charlie questions her about her plan, she says "I don't know how to cut down a Christmas tree. When I look at, I hope it'll just fall down." Later, just such an occurrence happens. She is bullied by the kid living in the house whose yard the tree was standing in and enters a bet with Sally for who will keep the fallen tree.
=== Peace on Earth from Lucy ===
Lucy struggles with being nice and tries to get Schroeder and Linus to buy her presents.
=== Merry Christmas from Charlie Brown ===
Charlie Brown and Sally prepare for Christmas together.
