I think the hint you gave (the charlie brown Christmas tree) suggests not
blue spruce but blue atlas cedar. (It has a sort of ungainly "picturesque"
look when young).
(also known as cedrus atlantica).

I'll try to do a quick google for you to see an image:

Young trees look very different from this more mature specimen, but I think
you can get a hint of the irregular nature of the growth and also the color
of the foliage
