How to stream ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’

Since its premiere in 1973 on CBS, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving has been a TV staple during the holidays. This year, after decades of airing on TV and cable channels, this special and Peanuts the animated short films are shown exclusively on Apple TV +.

Generations have grown up with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy, Linus, Peppermint Patty and the ensemble Peanuts Charles Schulz comic book gang. After the announcement that Apple + would be the exclusive home for Peanuts specials (including both A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas), fans were outraged.

As a result, specials are now scheduled to air on PBS, in addition to being available on Apple TV +. Here’s how you can broadcast A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving this holiday season.

Apple TV +

If you have an Apple TV + subscription, you can stream the classic Peanuts holiday specials including A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and It’s the big pumpkin, Charlie Brown, when you want.

Even if you’re not an Apple TV + subscriber, you can still stream A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free via the Apple TV + app or website November 25-27, 2020.

You can sign up for Apple TV + for $ 4.99 per month after a seven-day free trial.
