Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales is the 41st Peanuts special, created in 2002 to fill out an hour timeslot for the airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas. As such, this special is quite short, running under eighteen minutes.Christmas Tales consists of a series of Christmas-themed vignettes, each one dedicated to a different character. There are five of these segments in all, lifted from the original comic strips: Happy Holidays from Snoopy: Snoopy goes ice skating, works as a bell ringer to raise money, and attempts to befriend the ferocious next-door cat. Yuletide Greetings from Linus: Linus befriends a girl at school who repeatedly changes her first name. Season's Greetings from Sally: Sally tries to get a Christmas tree the easiest way she can. Peace on Earth from Lucy: Lucy tries to be nicer during the holiday season (keyword being "try"). Merry Christmas from Charlie Brown: Charlie Brown prepares for Christmas alongside his sister Sally.Having been created as a companion piece to the iconic A Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas Tales aired annually on ABC from 2002 to 2019. | |

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage | |
| Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales / int_19e9b150 | comment |
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: One scene has Snoopy playing a little music, only for Lucy to pass by and comment that "O Susanna" wasn't very Christmas-y. In response, Snoopy switches to "Christmastime is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas. | |

Less Disturbing in Context | |
| Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales / int_20106ca9 | comment |
Less Disturbing in Context: In-Universe; when Rerun rants at Snoopy dressed as Santa how he never gave Rerun what he wanted last year, Snoopy growls at him. When Lucy asks Rerun what he said, it apparently translates as wishing Rerun a good Christmas, albeit not above calling Linus a weird kid with a blanket and Lucy crabby. | |

Achievements in Ignorance | |
| Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: Sally, not knowing how to cut a tree down on her own, believes that she can make one fall by simply staring at it and hoping it does. To her credit, this somehow actually works. | |

I Gave My Word | |
| Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales / int_6fb5cb83 | comment |
I Gave My Word: When the rude boy comes by Charlie Brown's house saying that Sally stole his tree, she points out how he said she could have it if it actually fell, which it did. Sally eventually decides to return it out of guilt, but he lightens up and says she can keep it because he did say what she told him. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: Snoopy plays "O Susanna" on the accordion while dressed as Santa Claus, to which Lucy lampshades how it's not very Christmas-sounding. Snoopy promptly stops upon hearing this. | |
