Edmonton man recreates iconic ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ tree

An Edmonton man is sharing his love for a holiday cartoon classic with his neighbourhood by recreating an iconic tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Sean Kearns says a tree has grown slanted in his north Edmonton neighbourhood.

Every time he drives by, it has always reminded him of his mother’s favourite holiday movie.

So, he decided to add a personal touch to the tree near 58 Street and 138 Avenue.

“It’s always looked like that, but last year was the first year I found the perfect ornament over at Home Depot,” Kearns said.

He found an inflatable ornament at a hardware store, swung it over a branch and was able to tie it up in less than 10 minutes.

“I promise I didn’t pull (the tree) over like that, it actually just grows like that,” Kearns admitted.

Although it’s his second year decorating the tree, this year is extra meaningful as the Peanuts holiday special is celebrating 60 years since it aired on television.
