The gang's school plans a field trip to an art museum, and Charlie Brown must get an "A" on his field trip report to pass his class. Unfortunately, he, Peppermint Patty and Marcie mistake a supermarket for the art museum!

The "Peanuts" gather around Charlie's ping-pong table for an unusual feast, even though he's going over to his grandmother's for dinner. But with Snoopy and Linus's help, he decides to cook his own version of a Thanksgiving meal!
