Easter Beagle Snack Mix and a Movie

With Easter fast approaching, families are starting to make plans to gather, hunt eggs, and eat together. When you are all done with the festivities then what? How about having a little Easter – Snoopy Style… The beloved characters that we have grown to love have their own version of Easter fun in the cute Its the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown movie. And I have a recipe for Easter Beagle Snack Mix.

• The Easter Beagle made his television debut on April 9, 1974, when CBS first aired It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown.
• This was the 12^th animated special to be based on the Peanuts comic strip, and the fourth to be associated with a holiday (the others are A Charlie Brown Christmas, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving).
• Much of the special concerns Peppermint Patty’s disastrous (and hilarious) attempts to make Easter eggs—she tries roasting them, toasting them, and putting them in a waffle maker before trying to boil them (and making egg soup!).
• Linus sounds the alert, letting everyone know that the Easter Beagle is coming. Sally, however, is a little suspicious, since the last time she believed Linus’s reports on a famous holiday character, she missed all the trick or treating while waiting with Linus in a pumpkin patch for the non-arrival of the Great Pumpkin.
• This year, It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown will air on ABC. (Date and time to be announced.)
