To me, Great Pumpkin wins by virtue of the Snoopy vs. the Red Baron bit, which is arguably the most well known segment in all of Peanuts. It inspired hit songs and video games, among other things.

Come on, you can't actually expect us to have to choose between the 2. They're both some of the most beautiful things ever. Geez, man.

Charlie Brown Christmas made Linus and Lucy a bona fide classic Christmas song.
It wins.

Charlie Brown Christmas is not only a great movie, it also has one hell of a jazzy soundtrack.

Charlie Brown Christmas has the far superior soundtrack, but Great Pumpkin, I feel, has more to do with it's holiday...encompassing more of what Halloween and fall are all about, while the Christmas special kinda loses itself for a bit around the looking for the tree/Christmas play part.

That red baron segment screeches the whole thing to a halt. I can't express enough how much I hate it. |

You forgot about Thanksgiving and New Years which are considered Holidays.
But Christmas wins all the time

Uh, other. Thanksgiving duh. *Looks around* I'll go now. No shame in that. They're a trifecta of greatness. Thanksgiving was like 10 years later but remains, IMO (probably because of so many showings/viewings when I was a kid, before CBS just stopped airing it at all), the best of the '70s and '80s Peanuts specials. |
