Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Peanuts

First of all I have to share a little something with you. I am going to be a Peanuts Ambassador this year!! So throughout the year I will be sharing lots of Peanuts news and products with you so that a new generation will grow to love this crew just like we did when we were young. To start the year off right I want you to be able to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Peanuts.

• Every year, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang can be found on hundreds of different Valentine’s Day gifts, including cards, plush, books, candy and much more. This year, for the first time, Oriental Trading is offering an array of colorful Peanuts toys, party supplies, and crafts for Valentine’s Day. Also new are adorable Peanuts Pez and a ready-to-read book, called Happy Valentine’s Day, Charlie Brown, from Simon and Schuster. And, returning by popular demand, are Whitman’s chocolates featuring a Snoopy plush, A Charlie Brown Valentine DVDs from Warner Home Entertainment, and holiday cards from Hallmark. These great products will get you in the mood to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Peanuts Gang.

What’s even better is that there will be two specials airing so that we can all watch our favorite characters.

• The first one, Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, is the 13^th special based upon the popular comic strip. It originally aired on CBS on January 28, 1975 and now airs every year on ABC.

• In this special, the whole gang experiences holiday heartbreak:

Lucy tries to get Schroeder to like her. Sally, thinking that Linus gave her a gift, tries to get him something great so that he will love her. Linus tries to tell his teacher, Miss Othmar, that he loves her. Charlie Brown desperately wants to receive a valentine. In the end, everybody is disappointed. Charlie Brown is finally cheered up when he gets a used valentine from Violet the next day, hoping that her pity valentine will start a trend and he will get even more valentines the following year.

• The second TV special, A Charlie Brown Valentine, is the 40^th It was initially broadcast on February 14, 2002 on ABC (where it continues to air now).

• In this special, Charlie Brown attempts to win the heart of the Little Red-Haired Girl.

• After numerous failed efforts, he finally works up the courage to call her to ask her to the Valentine’s Day dance. But he dials the wrong number and reaches Peppermint Patty instead.

At the party, Charlie Brown tries to dance with the Little Red-Haired Girl, but then realizes she is already dancing with Snoopy. At the end of the day, Charlie Brown is upset that he didn’t get to dance with the Little Red-Haired Girl, and didn’t even receive one valentine. Just then, Snoopy brings Charlie Brown a valentine—but the special ends there, and it is not revealed who the valentine is from!
