Get ready to unwrap some nostalgia this holiday season, because the Peanuts gang is coming to town. Apple TV+ is set to spread some cheer by offering free streaming of beloved Peanuts festive specials celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

 

These yuletide gifts from the streaming platform mean that even non-subscribers can join Charlie Brown and his friends for their iconic holiday adventures. The lineup includes the Halloween classic It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the gratitude-filled A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and the heartwarming A Charlie Brown Christmas.

 

 

These timeless tales have been captivating audiences for over 50 years. In It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, audiences follow Linus as he awaits a miraculous appearance in the pumpkin patch, while Charlie Brown prepares for a party and Snoopy takes on his imaginary nemesis, the Red Baron. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving sees the gang navigating an impromptu holiday gathering, complete with Snoopy’s unique take on Thanksgiving cuisine. A Charlie Brown Christmas explores themes of commercialism and the true meaning of the holiday season, all set to the backdrop of the gang's attempts at putting on a Christmas play.

 

 

Each special will be available for free viewing on select weekends leading up to their respective holidays. Apple TV+ subscribers, meanwhile, can watch these specials any time throughout the season.

 

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown will air on October 19 and 20, perfect for those looking to get into the Halloween spirit.

 

 

Viewers can catch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on November 23 and 24, just in time to prep for the big feast.

 

 

Lastly, A Charlie Brown Christmas will stream on December 14 and 15, offering a dose of holiday magic.

 

 

Apple TV+ continues its tradition of making these Peanuts classics accessible to everyone, thanks to its partnership with Peanuts Worldwide and WildBrain. This move ensures that the gang remains a staple in holiday celebrations, bringing the familiar warmth and charm of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and friends to homes worldwide.
