It was the first time Guaraldi's music had been used in a Peanuts special since It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown (save for an arrangement of "Linus and Lucy" done by Ed Bogas and Judy Munsen for It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown and What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown!), although Benoit had scored an episode of This is America, Charlie Brown prior to this special.
