In the T.V. ad, after the children sang Hark The Herald Angels Sing, a voiceover speaks over with the song in the background saying "Merry Christmas from your local Coca-Cola bottler."

How did Coca-Cola start with Charlie Brown Christmas?

Due to the massive popularity of the Charlie Brown Christmas during the 1960s, a special Charlie Brown was made in 1966 dubbed Charlie Brown's All-Stars. The Dolly Madison snack cakes brokered a deal with Schulz for it to use the Peanuts characters in the T.V. advertisement. Likewise, Coca-Cola co-sponsored for this Charlie Brown's All-Stars Special.

The special T.V. ad started with both Dolly Madison and Coca-Cola at the opening credits. This, however, was edited out in the subsequent airings and DVD release. Dolly Madison did not want Coca-Cola to go solo in the opening of the ad now that it was a co-sponsor, the early scene was therefore removed.

A Dolly Madison voiceover was added, instead, at the end of the T.V. advertisement, following the voiceover - "Merry Christmas from your local Coca-Cola bottler." This too, however, was removed eventually.

The Charlie Brown Christmas first aired in December 9, 1965 on CBS. It instantly became a massive success. Since 1966, it aired every year and continues to be a popular program until today. It gained an Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program and won a Peabody Award for distinguished achievement by a television program.
