I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown

I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003) is a Peanuts holiday special you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Larry Leichliter and Bill Melendez for CBS. The 41-minute special puts Rerun — Lucy and Linus's little brother — at the center rather than Charlie Brown himself.

Rerun has one wish for Santa: a dog. His mother says no. Snoopy steps in as company until his own schedule intervenes, at which point his scrappy brother Spike takes over. Gentle, unhurried, and true to the Schulz tone — exactly what you want from a Peanuts Christmas special. Stream I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003) online on iFILM.
