Where Can I Watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Stream For Free

WASHINGTON — If one of your family traditions involves watching “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” You’ll only find it on Apple TV+ and not on traditional television this year.

Now before you say “good gracious” Apple has announced all the Charlie Brown Holiday Specials will be available to non-subscribers for a few days free of charge.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is available to stream on Apple TV+ from Wednesday, November 23 to Sunday, November 27 this year.

In 2020, Apple TV+ became the new home for all things Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang, including the popular Christmas specials. It caused an outcry when viewers learned the specials would not be televised for the first time in decades.

While Halloween 2020 came and went without a “Great Pumpkin” TV sighting, Apple later partnered with PBS to broadcast commercial-free “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Last year, all three Peanuts Christmas specials were re-aired on PBS. This year, however, that will not be the case.

PBS confirmed in an email that it doesn’t have the rights to distribute the Peanuts specials this year.

So if you’re looking for “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” or “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, You need to contact AppleTV+.

Those who don’t have an Apple TV+ subscription can still watch each special for free for a limited time around the holidays.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving will be available November 23 through November 27; and A Charlie Brown Christmas are available December 22-25.
