Orange kid was lit. Period.

One of the most iconic scenes in the history of animation

Everyone keeps talking about the dancing kids but they never acknowledge Schroeder’s mad piano-playing skills. He’s a literal prodigy, he takes after Beethoven!

I'm 58 years old, and this still makes me smile every time I see it!

Whenever a Charlie Brown holiday special is on (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas), my grandma always gives me a call saying “Charlie Brown’s on channel 13 tonight at 8, just letting you know!” She’s been giving me that phone call for the past 20 years ever since I was able to answer a phone, and getting that call from her was and still is one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. For me, it isn’t a holiday if my grandma didn’t call reminding me that Charlie Brown was on. I’ll always cherish that. When my grandma passes away, I think the saddest part will be when Halloween comes along and for the first time ever, I won’t get a call from her. God bless.

These kids were lit. Nobody could outdance the kid in the orange. Not even the displaced twins.

Orange shirt kid is a straight up vibe ong

This never gets old, a timeless classic.

It's not Christmas until it's a Charlie Brown Christmas.

The kid with the orange shirt made me laugh when I was little. Wait... I'm 55 now and he still makes me laugh :-)

Schroeder, Pigpen and Snoopy killed it!! Had the dance floor feeling it!!

This music is a balm for the soul. It puts you in a good mood and takes you back to the enchanted times of childhood when everything is blue and pink and joy. You can listen to it all day and it doesn't tire you. Wonderful !

FYI, the song, if anyone wants to know is called " Linus and Lucy".

I remember growing up in the ghetto, too dangerous to play outside. I experienced great joy watching this every year on my black & white tv. Didn’t have much but I still loved it and still do.

My Mother was born in 1940. My Mother became a teenager in 1953, and she remembered the Sock Hops, Elvis Presley, Poodle Skirts of the 1950's, and the Revolutions of the 1960's. She was already 25 years in 1965. When we'd decorate for Christmas, she'd blair this on the radio whenever it came on, and when we made cookies. She absolutely enjoyed this. Hard to believe she'd be 82 years going on 83 years now.

Charles Schulz's Peanuts can still delight, sadden, and fascinate. The man was brilliant . And the jazz music soundtrack to Peanuts is breezy, Latin-inspired jazz by composer Vince Guaraldi always stuck with through the years . Guaraldi pulsating, rhythmic pattern of jazz helped become a lover of the genre.

Pigpen was the true inventor of the slap bass technique.

Be honest. We all start dancing like them whenever this song comes on.

I'll never forget the first time I saw this scene in "Charlie Brown Christmas" I was laughing so hard! This scene was HILARIOUS as they all started dancing as Charlie Brown is trying to direct the Christmas play. I just bought the DVD the other day. I must see this every year. Priceless!

😂😂😂😂😂 I love this so much. I still do the twins and Lionels dance. But baby boy in the orange was killing it😂

0:35 *WHEN THAT BASS DROPS*

Best part of my childhood. Loved this cartoon.

I'm 55 have 3 kids and a grandkid and I still watch Charlie Brown specials. The Holidays aren't complete until I watch my Charlie Brown

They were jamming !! Still one of the best animated Christmas movies !! Dude's doing the running man years before anybody !! 😝

Kids of all ages have been jamming to this song since 1964 !!!

This cartoon and Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack are probably one of the happiest things ever invented in any field of human creativity.

This was the first comic or animated character to tackle depression, and anxiety in kids, along with all the joys of being one. Pretty amazing when you think about it. Landmark TV specials and comics, from one of its great geniuses.

I still love this till this day even being 50yrs old lol 😂

This was my first "big boy" piece on the piano. I was in the 4th grade and played it for our holiday concert. It kicked ass over all of those other kids playing "O Holy Night" on the clarinet. My parents were not amused.

RIP Vince Guaraldi. Piano genius.

Christmas isn't the same without this banger 🎅

I'm 64 and remember watching this many times as a kid. Such a sweet ,innocent time in my life. I'd like to go back, if only for a few minutes ,just to experience that one more time. ❤️

How could anyone not like this?

The one in the orange shirt doing the two step and throwing his head from side to side gets me every time. lol

Everyone's talking about Ralsei's dance but no one's mentioning that Susie was doing Linus' dance

Spoiler alert for something completely unrelated: The fact that Deltarune Chapter 2 has a moment directly inspired from this is both hilarious and amazing

dude in orange absolutely tearing it up out there

Snoopy is jamming so hard

This song and the Charlie Brown cartoons are a gift from God

Without a single word, this song takes me to a place outside of space and time. I love it

This is the closest thing I have to a time machine! I’m a kid again for 3 minutes and 2 seconds!

when I was kid (70's) I would wait all year long for this.

absolutely the best Christmas scene EVER!!

This tune burned into my brain since 1965. It's called Linus and Lucy and it's just brilliant. Fun, jazzy music from Guaraldi that has come to symbolize these fall and winter holidays that I've loved since I was wee. And everybody remembers the cartoons and knows the Charlie Brown song!

People saying the Orange kid has style? Look at those savage purple girls.

It's true it's damn true the guy in the Orange is in the zone hell no he is straight up getting down hardcore😆😁😀☺

IM CRYING....the posture of the pianist has me WHEEZING

Composed by the great Vince Guaraldi. Gives me such a good feeling watching this.😊❤

I never get tire of hearing this song

That kid in the orange shirt really getting down

This show and rudolph the red nosed reindeer are the best memories of my childhood and along that goes with that. Seven kids, two parents, God bless them all. I am now missing my mom and dad and my oldest brother. Lost my dad December 26th2014, lost my Mom December 15the 2015. Lost my brother January 14th 2022. My life is forever changed without them but life goes on. I have a beautiful 4 year old granddaughter who is the love of my life. Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. I wish you all life's joy and happiness.

Growing up my mama would get so excited for their holiday specials and we would sit down and watch them together. I vividly remember getting home from trick or treating and watching the Halloween special while I sort my candy with my mom. I lost her unexpectedly two months ago and stuff like this makes me miss her so much more❤️

This is on tonight at 8pm. Sadly my children never appreciated the magic of the peanuts. My wife and I watch it with other old people like us. Love you all peace

Loved this as a kid. Loving it even more at 54. Wow snoopy can jam lol

Ralsei's dance from Deltarune is a reference to the Orange Shirt kid

Snoopy and his guitar!!!! Pigpen and his chello! This is classic to the max!

it isn't Christmas time without this

The one in the orange was EATINNNN'😩🔥🔥🔥

Snoopy is killin' it on his two string guitar.

Overslept this morning and was super stressed about not being able to get my cleaning done in enough time and this music was playing and I immediately started dancing, just what the doctor ordered!

Puts a smile on my face evrry time.

I've always tried my best to dance like the kid in the orange... He's badass!

I always liked this particular scene in the Peanuts animated Christmas special. It's so whimsical and cute. It's a classic I'll never forget. This cartoon special debuted on television while I was an elementary school student. They don't make cartoons this cute and wholesome any longer. Thank you for sharing this longtime fond memory.❤️🥰❤️

The kid in the orange shirt steals the show, dude is steady.

Pig Pen plays a mean bass. lol

I never get tired watching this! It isn't Christmas without the Charlie Brown Christmas Special!!

Hell yeah, 56yrs old and I still dig this jam😅❤😅

It is definitely not Christmas without seeing this classically fabulous dance party. Never gets old ,always makes me get the warm fuzzies,and shed a tear with the memories it brings back of a happier time

I'm 57 years old and this still makes me smile anytime I hear it. :-)

It's December, 2020... and Dear Lord, did I need to watch this now more than ever! By the way, big props at 1:58 watching 3 particular kids getting down. The kid at top screen doing a proto-moonwalk. The girl in the green dress at center stage reminding us Xenials how kids from the 60's got down. And my man in the orange shirt head bobbing to a groove all his own... God bless us, everyone! 🌲😎🇵🇷🇺🇸📽🤣🦂

Those dance moves and song always bring a smile!

Kids today will never truly appreciate the magic of all the Charlie Brown shows, especially this one. Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown 🎄⛄🎄⛄

It's not even Christmas and I'm blasting this full volume!

Each kid with their own move. Linus looks like he's stomping out a fire. Violet (green dress) looks like she's beating herself in the head. Sally's got a cool little two-step. The purple dress twins look like puppets. But look at Orange Shirt do his thing!

Here because one fluffy goat boi from Deltarune did a Charlie Brown dance

I think we need to take a moment to appreciate Pigpen on the bass he’s so good we can’t even hear him

I loved the peanuts......never will grow old at heart.

The girl WITH the curly hair looking like she doin the thriller Lol hahaaaaaa

I was expecting one of the Deltarune characters to do a fortnite dance

A Timeless Classic.

So awesome, I watched this when I was a kid. Cartoons back in the day were awesome.

Coolest dance sequence ever! The kid in the orange shirt is just killing it!

Dang the little boy in the green shirt invented the running man...lol and the little girl in the green dress looks like she's doing the robot😂😂😂😂

You know it's a real party when they let Pig-Pen jam indoors! 👻

These little cartoon White kids literally had more rhythm than teens on American Bandstand in the 60's did. I remember that well!

I love Violet’s moves! Very her! I never get tired of watching/listening! Merry merry to everyone! Can’t we all just pour into the streets and dance to/like this?! 😎

I once heard before this show was released on TV in 1965 they had some concerns and at a staff party, one of those celebrating (after maybe a glass or two of Holiday Cheer!!!) boldly proclaimed that it would be popular for the next 100 years!!! Well… here we are almost 58 years later!!!

The kid in the orange shirt, the first one that caught my eye so I learned that dance

Sometimes I just watch this to smile, brings back good memories.

❤positively one of the greatest instrumental songs ❤

Having PTSD, this helps me calm & heal my melancholic mind. Be well all.~

Those purple girls getting lit

Y’all talkin bout the orange kid, but what about that green kid in the back tho

They were literally jamming. Christmas was tremendous fun.

Wow I’m crying of happiness … I miss this days .

I occasionally do the dance that the kid in the orange does, I do it pretty spot on!

Okay but let's talk about how amazing the dances in charlie brown are

This is my dad's favorite childhood show when he was a kid. I used to get so excited during thanksgiving break/christmas cause charlie brown episodes would play around those times

📺 I truly do miss watching the peanuts and other christmas cartoons on television at 8 p.m. I know they still play a few but not the way they use to throughout the 1980s or the 1990s. We all had it made back when we were young kids or teenagers. I'm thankful for the stuff we all had back then Plus I'm very grateful for being a 80s kid and growing up in that time frame. Like all seriously here, they need to give us back our holidays and the way it use to be.

Best memories from my youth......can't get enough of this.
