(10:00 a.m.-12:00PM)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, December 26<\/strong><br \/>\nHAPPY NEW YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN &#8211; ABC and the PEANUTS gang will ring in the new year with the animated PEANUTS special &#8220;Happy New Year, Charlie Brown,&#8221; created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, along with &#8220;She&#8217;s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown.&#8221; In &#8220;Happy New Year, Charlie Brown,&#8221; the PEANUTS gang is ringing in 1986, and Marcie and Peppermint Patty are throwing a big New Year&#8217;s Eve bash. Charlie Brown plans to celebrate the holiday by curling up with a big book that weighs nearly as much as he does, Tolstoy&#8217;s &#8220;War and Peace.&#8221; The book&#8217;s weight doesn&#8217;t stop him from lugging it to Lucy&#8217;s pre-party dance class, where he cuts a mean rug with a rollicking Patty. With just 1131 pages to go, Charlie Brown takes another break, this time for the party, and summons the courage to invite his true love, the little red-haired girl. She doesn&#8217;t respond, but hapless Chuck shows up anyway-with Tolstoy in tow. Then, he settles down with the book-on a porch swing in a snowstorm-and in so doing, misses the evening&#8217;s big surprise. In &#8220;She&#8217;s a Good Skate, Charlie Brown,&#8221; disaster strikes as Peppermint Patty heads to her first major ice-skating competition with coach Snoopy and faithful companion, Marcie, by her side. As always, the unassuming Woodstock flies in to save the day (8:00-9:00PM)<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"medfordtrails-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B07683PLLN\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"e36080cffc559e63c9505fc291893f85\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW: HOLIDAY EDITION &#8211; &#8220;Pastry and Cookie Week&#8221; &#8211; The bakers are back and this week they are challenged to create deliciously flaky and flavorful pastries, as well as holiday cookies perfect for any Christmas celebration.
