Apple TV+ still owns the rights ("Oh, Good Grief!") to the Peanuts animation collection, but thankfully, the platform is still offering non-subscribers an opportunity to watch both of the Peanuts Gang Thanksgiving and Christmas cartoons for FREE again this year!
Here are the dates and times you'll want to tune in to watch for free, if you don't have a subscription to Apple TV+...
(Details below via Apple TV+ press release.)

"A Charlie Brown Christmas"

"The Snoopy Show" - Happiness is Holiday Traditions
Premieres Friday, December 1
In "Happiness is Holiday Traditions," Snoopy searches for the perfect tree topper; Woodstock gets trapped in a window display; and Snoopy and Woodstock visit Spike for Christmas. An Apple TV+ original series from Peanuts and WildBrain, "The Snoopy Show" gives the world's most iconic dog his close-up and dives into new adventures with the happy-dancing, high-flying, big-dreaming beagle, who's joined by best friend Woodstock and the rest of the Peanuts gang. Josh Scherba, Anne Loi, Stephanie Betts, Paige Braddock, Craig Schulz and Mark Evestaff serve as executive producers. Alex Galatis serves as executive story editor.
Previous Peanuts cartoons are also available on the Apple TV+ streaming platform, including "Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales," "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown," "It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown," and more.
There's nothing quite like the scene when the spotlight shines on Linus center stage in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" as he shares the story of Jesus' birth straight from the scripture Luke 2:8-14...

Thank you for the info Net! I used to watch Charlie Brown every year with my mom and siblings (my husband never watched them) so now I can watch with my own family this year. Our 5 year old is old enough to sit through it and understand it now and she loves watching and doing traditions I used to do when I was little :)

Jim, I 100% percent agree! There was nothing like that special night on ABC when it felt like we all watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" together.
ReplyDeleteI feel like many children will not have the opportunity to watch it as we did growing up. And some of those children, sadly, may not know the true meaning of Christmas.
I'm sure the new Peanuts cartoons are cute, but for me, they can never replace the Christmas special, and I fear that's what they are trying to do. I'm so glad I have it on DVD - so I can have it forever and don't have to rely on them to play it.
I miss being able to watch it on network TV.
