Yes, there was animation involving the Coca-Cola logo built into the opening titles and closing credits of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," which was cut out after the first couple years of broadcasts. Once you know what you're looking for, the cuts are very noticeable, particularly in the opening (in the current version, you never see where Linus ends up after Snoopy grabs his blanket and tosses him across the ice). I'm sure there are a variety of legal issues that would be involved with trying to restore the Coca-Cola version.
