A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a 1973 American television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. The tenth prime-time animated television special in the Peanuts, it originally aired on the CBS network on November 20, 1973, and won an Emmy Award the following year. It was the third holiday special after A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965 and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown in 1966. Except for the opening football gag, it is the first Peanuts TV special to have a completely original script without relying on the strip.
