Where do I watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas”?

Back in 2020, Apple TV+ acquired the exclusive rights to the various Charlie Brown animated specials, including “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” While PBS was able to air the Christmas special in previous years, for 2022, the only way to watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” are through Apple TV+.

The company is providing a four-day window for non-subscribers to watch the respective specials, with no log-in required to watch “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” from November 23 to 27 and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” from December 22 to 25. Apple is also offering a free seven-day trial for new subscribers.
