Monday night was the 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of A Charlie Brown Christmas, Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live, calling it "probably the greatest Christmas special of all-time." But you don't have to take Kimmel's word for it. "We asked a person who knows a lot about the greatest things of all time, we asked him: 'What is the greatest Christmas special of all-time?'" Kimmel said, and in case you didn't get the joke from the headline, Kimmel Live rolled a supercut of Donald Trump saying "peanuts." It's a little silly, but Kimmel is right: Trump does like to say "peanuts. Watch below, or go watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. It really is a classic. Peter Weber
