Peanuts Turns 75 And the Comic Is More Poignant Than Ever

In October 2025, the world will be celebrating Peanuts' 75th anniversary. Fans are planning to take a moment to appreciate how Charles Schulz’s creation remains quietly powerful, still resonating in art, culture, and everyday life in ways few other comics can. 

As we enter into Charlie Brown’s favorite time of the year, with Thanksgiving and Christmas specials, this year, more than ever, is a great time to relive the magic. 

Why Peanuts Still Resonates at 75

After seven and a half decades, the Peanuts gang remains more poignant than ever. Themes of loneliness, hope, small triumphs, and existential worry will always be universal. 

And new audiences on social media continue to embrace Snoopy’s silent expressions, humor without words, and emotional depth.

In a recent viral moment, Charles Schulz’s great-grandson created a dance tutorial called the “Snoopy Stomp” to the classic piano theme, ushering Peanuts onto the TikTok stage. 

The continued interplay between Peanuts and NASA also proves that Snoopy’s symbolism spans generations.

Charles Schulz Legacy Lives On

Schulz believed every strip should stand on its own, a fine balance of simplicity, subtlety, and emotional truth. His widow, Jeannie Schulz, now conserves that legacy, overseeing licensing and creative control.

Apple TV+ just extended its exclusive streaming rights for Peanuts through 2030, ensuring we can find new specials and classic episodes. 

In Paris, a Snoopy In Style fashion exhibition is showcasing 75 outfits designed for Snoopy and his sister Belle, spotlighting how Schulz’s characters can even inspire couture.

Snoopy’s Anniversary Celebration Around the World

Fans globally are staging tributes large and small. In Santa Rosa, the Charles M. Schulz Museum is hosting a “Celebrate 75 Years of Peanuts” event featuring drawing activities, meet-and-greets with Snoopy, and free mini posters.

Meanwhile, theme parks such as Knott’s Berry Farm are hosting special Peanuts Celebration events with new shows, themed food, and family fun. 

Across the Atlantic, Paris is highlighting the anniversary with their Snoopy fashion exhibition, a surprising and stylish twist to the milestone.

Peanuts Museum Santa Rosa as a Cultural Hub

Santa Rosa is a living monument to these creations. The Charles M. Schulz Museum features rotating exhibits like 75 Years of Humor in Peanuts and Memorable Moments: Celebrating 75 Years of Peanuts.

The museum also runs daily events, cartooning classes, and visitor experiences in Schulz’s former art space. 

Outside, Santa Rosa streets are dotted with Peanuts statues, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy, originally part of “Peanuts on Parade.” Snoopy’s Home Ice, the rink Schulz founded, is also nearby, along with the Warm Puppy Café and gift shop.

Why Peanuts Is Still Relevant Today

The quiet power of Peanuts lies in its restraint. Schulz’s panels never shouted. Instead, they created an opportunity for reflection. Today, amidst all the cultural noise, these simple moments feel increasingly rare.

These streaming renewals, fashion exhibitions, museum events, and social media trends all point to one truth: the Peanuts 75th anniversary proves we can still remember powerful moments in our lives while moving forward

And, in 2025, that evolution is clear. The brand will continue to lean into the future with care, refusing to distort the emotional core Schulz built. For fans new and old, perhaps that matters now, more than ever.
