O criador de Peanuts, Charles M. Schulz convocou o pianista extraordinário Vince Guaraldi e o seu trio para compôr e tocar a música que tivesse o humor, charme e inocência de Charlie Brown, Snoopy e dos restantes personagens para o Especial Natal de TV em 1965. Foi uma reunião perfeita, um LP brilhante que introduziu milhões de jovens ouvintes ao gosto pelo Jazz.

When Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas album was inducted into the Library of Congress, the Library's media release noted, "A Charlie Brown Christmas introduced jazz to millions of listeners." According to annotator and Guaraldi biographer Bang, "The importance of [that] sentence can not be overstated." Children all over the world who had resisted jazz as the music of their parents were given an introduction.

The album's centerpiece track, today as it was in 1965, is "Christmas Time Is Here," the soulful instrumental version that clocks in at just over six minutes.

"As for Guaraldi, his penetrating improvisational phrases paint pictures of the first winter snowfall, myriad glistening trees, and powdery white landscapes. With its blend of contemporary jazz and lyrical mannerisms, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a joyous and festive meditation for the holiday season." ~ Shawn M. Haney, All Music
