The animation for the special was done by [[Wang Film Productions]] in [[Taiwan]], making it the second ''Peanuts'' special after ''[[Snoopy's Reunion]]'' to be animated by an overseas studio rather than [[Melendez Films|Bill Melendez Productions]], who served as animation revisionists.

This was the final new ''Peanuts'' animated special to air on [[CBS]]. The network cancelled all future animated specials, although they still aired in re-runs until 2000.

* [[Charlie Brown]] unsuccessfully tries to sell wreaths door-to-door [[Christmas creep|before Thanksgiving]]. [[Franklin (Peanuts)|Franklin]] points out that Charlie Brown is adding to the commercialism of Christmas, but Charlie Brown disagrees "until I sell one."

* Peppermint Patty and [[Marcie]] attend a performance of [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]]'s ''[[Messiah (Handel)|Messiah]]''. The following day at school, Peppermint Patty writes about the performance. Neither she nor Marcie know Handel's first name, so Peppermint Patty credits the piece to "Joe Handel."

* [[Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]] and his bird friends play [[chamber music]] inside a snowman's hat.
* [[Charlie Brown]] tries to explain the true meaning of Christmas to his sister Sally, who is convinced that the true meaning of Christmas is "getting all you can get while the getting is good" when she is writing a letter to Santa, but she tunes him out. She also writes to Mrs. Claus, who she calls Mary Christmas.
* Snoopy, Woodstock and his friends dance with the [[candy cane]]s that were on Charlie Brown's tree.
* Sally goes to Linus's house for the meaning of Christmas and complains to Linus about calling birds in "[[The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)|The Twelve Days of Christmas]]". Linus tells Sally about [[Albert Schweitzer]] and how he does not like Christmas presents because he hated to write thank-you notes. Sally asks who Albert Schweitzer was.

* The kids participate in a Christmas play, where Marcie plays [[Mary (mother of Jesus)|The Virgin Mary]], [[Franklin (Peanuts)|Franklin]] gets the role of [[Gabriel (angel)|Gabriel]], Peppermint Patty unwillingly plays a [[sheep]], and [[Sally Brown|Sally]], who has to say the line "[[Hark!

== Notes and Trivia ==
* The special no longer airs on American television; both CBS and its successor, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], have abandoned it in favor of later specials. In Canada, [[YTV (TV channel)|YTV]] still airs it as a stand alone special.
* Rather than having a new musical score composed for ''It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown'', jazz composer [[Vince Guaraldi]]'s classic musical scores were resurrected. Guaraldi's associaion with ''Peanuts'' ended abruptly upon his death from a [[heart attack]] in February 1976. Many fans welcomed the return of Guaraldi's memorable melodies that many associate with the ''Peanuts'' gang, particularly the comic strip's signature tune, "[[Linus and Lucy]]". Producer [[Bill Meléndez]] commented that the usage of Guaraldi's songs were done at a tribute to the late jazz composer. It was the first ''Peanuts'' TV special since ''[[It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown]]'' to utilize the songs.
* For ''It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown'', Guaraldi's classic tunes were remixed into soft-rock versions, with the trend continuing for many of the 1990s ''Peanuts'' specials.
* When Linus is watching [[TV]], if you look on the TV you can see the little Christmas tree from [[A Charlie Brown Christmas]].
* When Charlie brown is selling wreaths door-to-door, he goes to Frieda's house, and she takes one and says "Thank You".
* Peppermint Patty is wearing gloves in the snow, but wearing shorts and sandals instead of pants and sneakers.

It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown is the 36th prime-time animated television special based on the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on CBS on November 27, 1992.[1]

The program is composed of various storylines from the comic strip.[2] It was the first Christmas-themed Peanuts special since the inaugural A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965, though an episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show featured a new Christmas vignette in 1985.

The animation for the special was done by Wang Film Productions in Taiwan, making it the second Peanuts special after Snoopy's Reunion to be animated by an overseas studio rather than Bill Melendez Productions, who served as animation revisionists.

This was the final new Peanuts animated special to air on CBS. The network cancelled all future animated specials, although they still aired in re-runs until 2000.
