Charlie Brown Peanuts Christmas Forever Stamps

"From holiday mail to personal collections, we hope these stamps brighten the lives of ‘Peanuts’ fans and stamp collectors alike.” said Jean Schulz.

On October 1, 2015, in Santa Rosa, CA, the U.S. Postal Service^® will issue A Charlie Brown Christmas stamps (Forever^® First-Class Mail^® priced at 49 cents) in 10 designs, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet of 20 stamps (Item 680200).

The stamps will go on sale nationwide October 1, 2015.
In 2015, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the holiday season with 10 new Forever stamps featuring still frames from A Charlie Brown Christmas, the first animated special starring characters from Charles Schulz’s beloved comic strip, Peanuts.

Stamp Artwork

The stamp artwork is by Schulz and Antonio Alcalá was the designer and art director.

This booklet of 20 stamps includes two each of the following designs: Charlie Brown holding the sapling that eventually becomes his Christmas tree, Charlie Brown and Pigpen with a snowman, Snoopy and children ice skating, the cast of the program gathering around the Christmas tree, Linus kneeling by the sparsely decorated Christmas tree, Charlie Brown checking his mailbox for a Christmas card, Charlie Brown and Linus leaning on a snowy brick wall, Charlie Brown and Linus standing by the tree, a frustrated Charlie Brown standing in front of Snoopy’s doghouse, and Charlie Brown decorating the tree in front of the prize-winning lights display on Snoopy’s doghouse. 

Watched in more than 15 million American homes, A Charlie Brown Christmas was a smash hit. It received rave reviews and won the George Foster Peabody Award and an Emmy Award for Outstanding Children\u0027s Program.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is being issued as a First-Class Mail Forever booklet of 20 stamps. Each stamp features one of 10 stills from A Charlie Brown Christmas.

They include:

• Charlie Brown holding the sapling that eventually becomes his Christmas tree;
• Charlie Brown and Pigpen with a snowman;
• Snoopy and children ice skating;
• The cast of the program gathered around the Christmas tree;
• Linus kneeling by the sparsely decorated Christmas tree;
• Charlie Brown and Linus leaning on a snowy brick wall and another with them standing by the tree;
• A frustrated Charlie Brown standing in front of Snoopy’s doghouse, and another one with him decorating the tree in front of the prize-winning lights display on Snoopy’s doghouse; and
• Charlie Brown checking his mailbox for a Christmas card — our favorite at the Postal Service.

These stamps are a part of the Postal Service Holiday Celebration stamp series. On each stamp, the words “FOREVER USA” — in the same font used in the Peanuts comic strip — appear in the top right corner or along the left edge.

It is our hope that these stamps that pay tribute to A Charlie Brown Christmas will be on cards, letters, and packages that fill mailboxes across the country this holiday season.
