LINUS TRIES TO GIVE UP HIS MOST CHERISHED POSSESSION ON "HAPPINESS IS A WARM BLANKET, CHARLIE BROWN" FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, ON FOX

The Peanuts gang is back and ready to help Linus (Austin Lux) break away from his childhood security blanket. The stakes are high as Linus learns his grandmother is coming to visit, and he must decide whether or not to dispose of his most cherished possession. In an effort to help Linus kick his habit, Charlie Brown (Trenton Rogers), Lucy (Grace Rolek) and even Snoopy pitch in to help. Lucy is quick to attempt her amateur psychiatric skills, while Snoopy employs the age old drag-and-run method. Despite all attempts, Linus eventually learns that security is a valuable quality in life and everyone is entitled to their own version of a security blanket in HAPPINESS IS A WARM BLANKET, CHARLIE BROWN airing Friday, Dec. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
