The iconic Peanuts comic strip, written and illustrated by Charles M Schulz, launched on 02 October 1950 in seven newspapers: the Minneapolis Tribune (Schulz' hometown paper), The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Times, The Denver Post, Allentown's Evening Chronicle and Bethlehem's Globe-Times. The daily strip ran for almost 50 years, coming to an end on 13 February 2000,

It's been a busy time for Polaroid lately. Not only did the manufacturer release the Now earlier this year, it has also just launched the Star Wars-themed Polaroid Now Mandalorian Polaroid Now camera and Mandalorian i-Type Film, both of which seem perfectly timed as gifts for the holiday season. 

While the Peanuts film isn't getting a similarly Snoopy-themed camera to go along with it (though there are plenty of vintage Snoopy cameras on eBay, made by companies like Casio, Konica and Tomy), we nonetheless love these special edition film packs – which likewise make perfect stocking stuffers. 

Polaroid Color i-Type Film ‑ Peanuts Edition is available now for $17.99 / £16.99 per pack (Australian availability TBC).
