1* Music/VinceGuaraldi once again provides a memorably catchy jazz score, including the vocal number "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMMDe31iZk4 Little Birdie]]" ([[StepUpToTheMicrophone sung by Guaraldi himself]]).
2* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KJeS1MdYWc main Thanksgiving theme]] itself is a mild departure from Guaraldi's usual style, incorporating electric piano and a warm horn section.
3* The big-band remix of [[SignatureSong "Linus and Lucy"]] used for this special, [[https://youtu.be/X7it0Ibjk2E "Linus and Lucy with the Band"]], works ''wonderfully'' for the montage of Charlie Brown, Linus, and Snoopy preparing their impromptu dinner.
4* "Fife & Drums Theme", which accompanies Snoopy and Woodstock putting on their Pilgrim outfits, is a fascinating little piece that counts for CreatorsOddball in Guaraldi's ''Peanuts'' work, being a vaguely Colonial-sounding march focused on trumpeter Tom Harrell and drummer Mike Clark. But Guaraldi is still there, doing some Baroque-style background coloring on his Clavinet, which on one hand sounds vaguely like a harpsichord, but on the other hand has a chirping electronic quality that makes the whole piece sound a bit like the early [[SynthPop Moog synthesizer]] work of Music/WendyCarlos and Jean-Jacques Perrey.
