Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis special is one of many that Violet and Patty are reduced to silent cameos. These two characters (among others like Shermy, Pig Pen, and Frieda) were prominent in the earlier specials, such as It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), but were phased out with the introduction of Peppermint Patty and Marcie.
- GoofsCharlie Brown is seen reading "War and Peace" on the porch outside the New Year's Eve party. Although we can hear him reading it normally, he is turning the pages in the wrong direction (going backwards).
- Quotes
Lucy van Pelt: [as Schroeder plays his piano] Well, are you taking me to the party or not?
[Schroeder stops playing]
Schroeder: Musicians don't dance. And anyway, I'll be playing the piano at the party.
[continues playing]
Lucy van Pelt: I don't mind the rejection; it's the smile that bugs me.

Featured review
A Fun Little New Years Special
'Happy New Year, Charlie Brown' is a Peanuts special concerned with Charlie Brown's latest struggling story as he attempts to finish a book report over Christmas vacation while dealing with typical holiday shenanigans distracting him from his work.
Overall I'll admit this not one of my favorite Peanuts specials but it has some good moments that make it an enjoyable watch. But note that this special is more oriented towards children and while it tries to retain its typical clever humor it won't always hit. And the characters are either lovable or seem different than previous specials.
Regardless, its a good Peanuts special and is a decent winter special to watch.
