Starface wants us to have a Charlie Brown Christmas

It’s been 75 years since Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the whole gang helped the world discover the true meaning of Christmas. A Charlie Brown Christmas has remained a staple during the holiday season ever since, and now fans who cherish the spirit, message, jazzy soundtrack and scraggly trees of the TV special have a way of bringing it onto their literal faces thanks to Starface.

The Starface x Peanuts collection marks the comic’s 75th anniversary and centres Snoopy as the star of the show. On the patches, Charles M. Schulz’s famous dog is seen in a very cosy puffer jacket in both blue and red, as well as displaying a variety of facial expressions – so you can match your mood to Snoopy’s (your options are pleased, very pleased, thoughtful and peaceful). You can also pick from three compacts to keep your precious patches safe. 

Discovering who Starface has collaborated with next is always a fun surprise. From Hello Kitty, My Melody and Kuromi, to voting patches, to a tattoo-inspired collection with Heaven by Marc Jacobs, there’s been something for everyone. I personally remember audibly gasping when the glow-in-the-dark patches were revealed to me. 

While the partnership with Heaven did embrace a grittier, DIY aesthetic, the acne brand tends to lean into nostalgia and cuteness by bringing back all our favourite childhood cartoons and characters. Nostalgia has emerged as the defining aesthetic of the 2020s, with cuteness dominating everything from the tattoos we get to the music we listen to and the clothes we wear, and Starface has always been a big part of this in the beauty world.  

The collection is selling out quickly, so get them while you still can. And if you miss out, not to worry – the blue Hydro-stars are not limited edition, so you’ll always be able to match with Justin Bieber. “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”
