From exclusive animations featuring Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang to engaging mini-games and shareable holiday content, there promises to be something for everyone.
A Holiday Tradition Reimagined
"We all grew up loving Peanuts, especially at the holidays, and we can't wait to bring fans a new way to experience that joy through this digital format," expressed Rob Matousek, Executive Director at American Greetings. The company's initiative not only introduces a modern take on a traditional concept but also aims to foster a sense of community among fans celebrating the holidays together.
The digital Advent calendar is set to feature 25 daily surprises, each crafted to embody the heartwarming humor and wisdom characteristic of Peanuts. Users can expect a variety of interactive activities such as a Christmas tree decoration simulator, snowflake maker, and several fun puzzles. These activities are designed to invoke the warmth and laughter synonymous with the Peanuts legacy.
Moreover, customers who decide to purchase the calendar before December 1 will be granted early access to certain holiday activities, providing a head start on the festive fun. This approach not only builds excitement but encourages families to engage with the calendar as a new holiday tradition.
"The holidays and Peanuts have been synonymous for nearly 75 years," stated Scott Shillet, Vice President of Global Licensing at Peanuts. He further elaborated that the new digital formats can provide opportunities for engagement that traditional calendars may lack.
