How To Make Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dinner
I think it’s fun when you get to introduce your kids to the cartoons that you loved during childhood and watch them develop a fondness for them, also.
For some reason, I love that Charlie Brown Thanksgiving dinner scene where they made the popcorn. It’s one of those things that stuck with me. It was sooooo funny to me (still today!).
And then I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to make the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving food, watch the cartoon, and eat the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving meal with my kid?
(I mean, what kid doesn’t love to have treats for lunch?)
So, we decided to host a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dinner Party!
Another fun thing to do is make this a kids’ activity if you’re hosting Thanksgiving at your house.(It’s a great way to tackle bored kids at Thanksgiving!) After the meal and playtime, you can gather the kids around the TV and provide them with their own “Thanksgiving meal” treat while watching the cartoon!
