One of the most pleasant outcomes of Knott’s Berry Farm’s long association with Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters is seen in the park’s seasonal transformation into Knott’s Merry Farm, which is filled with various tie-ins to the beloved 1965 TV special A Charlie Brown Christmas . There’s “Snoopy’s Christmas Light Spectacular,” “A Peanuts’ Holiday Parade,” and an ice show called “It’s Christmas, Snoopy!” Plus, plenty of non-Peanuts holiday activities, such as the Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village, Elf Mountain and Christmas at the Birdcage. Unfortunately, there’s no psychiatric help available from a theme-park worker wearing a giant Lucy head. Maybe in the future they can work in a Funky Winkerbean motif. . . .
