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's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown is composed of the several Christmas-themed storylines, all taken directly from the Peanuts comic strip:[3] Rather than having a new musical score composed for It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown, jazz composer Vince Guaraldi's musical scores were reused and performed by jazz pianist David Benoit.

It was the first time Guaraldi's music had been used in a Peanuts special since It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown (1976).

[4] Guaraldi composed music scores for the first 16 Peanuts television specials and one feature film (A Boy Named Charlie Brown) before his death in February 1976.

It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown was first shown on CBS on Friday, November 27, 1992, and was the last Peanuts special to have its television premiere on that network.
