ABOUT WOODSTOCK:
Woodstock was introduced to the popular comic strip “Peanuts” in 1967 as Snoopy’s best friend.
Woodstock is a yellow bird that communicates in a strange language represented by various indiscernible punctuation marks. Despite this, Snoopy appears to understand him perfectly. Their friendship is a central and endearing aspect of the Peanuts story.

Christmas Costume Collection
Wear a yellow jumpsuit or matching yellow top and trousers. Add a bird mask, yellow feather boa and orange footwear, then carry a Snoopy plush to make the character immediately recognizable.
Woodstock’s exact species has never been officially identified. He is simply portrayed as a small yellow bird with a spiky feathered head and an unusual flying style.
Woodstock is male and is referred to using male pronouns in the original Peanuts comic strip. Some international translations have portrayed the character differently, which can cause confusion.
Charles M. Schulz named Woodstock after the famous 1969 music festival. The character had already appeared in the comic before being officially given the name in 1970.
Wear a yellow beanie or headband decorated with upright felt feathers and attach a lightweight orange beak. Yellow face paint can be added, but it is not essential for a recognizable costume.
Create the standard yellow Woodstock outfit and add a red Santa hat. A Snoopy plush, festive scarf or small Christmas decoration can complete the seasonal version.
