TikTok creators are bringing back the Charlie Brown dance just in time for Christmas.
Videos featuring creators moving like Charles Schultz’s awkward gogo-dancing cartoons to variations on Charlie Brown’s rolling piano tune are bringing joy this holiday season.
The Charlie Brown dance trend resonates with those who’ve long considered the Charlie Brown Christmas Special a holiday tradition, and young, new fans who are learning to love the Peanuts gang through dance.
Charlie Brown in the club
TikToker @itisjamarmar racked up 4.3 million views for threatening to hit the club with Charlie Brown Christmas moves. In his video from Dec. 3, 2025, the skilled dancer performed the character’s moves alongside clips from the cartoon.

He wrote, “Don’t ask me to go to the club because imma pull out these bad boys,” adding in the post’s caption, “And I won’t feel bad either 😛.”
The trend uses audio from a mashup of GloRilla x Charlie Brown.
“Nah you coming and I’m playing the imaginary piano,” replied a commenter.
Meanwhile, a whole entire family made it happen that way Snoopy and Friends would. TikToker @ellabeanandmommy brought the whole gang together for a Dec. 4, 2025 performance.

Another viral video shows that it pays to have a piano player in your crew.
