Some questions really don't have a better answer than "why not?"

The balloons were introduced primarily because live animals (which had been used in the first few parades) were messy and problematic. They've always been based mainly on pop-culture icons (the very first one was Felix the Cat), so when the Peanuts comic strip became popular, Snoopy was a natural addition to the lineup.
