🎄❤️ Celebrate the True Meaning of Christmas - "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Streams FREE Dec. 13–14

There are certain Christmas traditions that instantly take us back to simpler days, and A Charlie Brown Christmas, now celebrating its 60th Anniversary this year, is one of those timeless gifts. With its soft jazz music, familiar voices, and that humble little Christmas tree, this beloved Peanuts classic has a way of wrapping our hearts in nostalgia, while quietly pointing us back to what matters most.

I remember my family and I would always be gathered in front of the TV to watch this sweet cartoon every Christmas! We wouldn't dream of missing it. And years later, Charlie Brown’s search for meaning during the Christmas season feels just as relevant today.

This year, families can once again gather to stream this treasured special through Apple TV. And for a limited time this weekend, December 13th-14th, A Charlie Brown Christmas will be available to watch for free!


Charlie Brown and Faith:

What makes this sweet little cartoon so powerful is its courage to proclaim the true meaning of Christmas! It is said that CBS was initially hesitatant over the message of faith in A Charlie Brown Christmas, but creator Charles M. Schulz, a man of deep personal faith, gently yet firmly refused to remove it, saying, “If we don’t do it, who will?” Finished at the last minute with no time for changes, the scene remained and generations have been blessed by its beautiful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas ever since.

In a season filled with decorating, baking, shopping, bright lights, and glitter, it’s easy to feel like Charlie Brown.. wondering if anyone remembers what Christmas is all about. Yet year after year, Linus steps onto that simple stage and reminds us plainly and beautifully: the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It’s such a gentle story, yet it speaks volumes. May we all take time to remember the true meaning- that our Savior was born to save us from our sins and to give us eternal life in Him. That truth is the greatest gift of all, and it’s why A Charlie Brown Christmas will always hold a special place in all of our hearts.


How To Watch:

A Charlie Brown Christmas will be available to watch for free, no subscription required, on Saturday, December 13 and Sunday, December 14! Just open the Apple TV app or go to tv.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID (or create a new one), press play, and enjoy!


Put Charlie Brown under your Christmas Tree:

I hope watching this heartwarming special will bring joy to your heart! I've also incuded some delightful Charlie Brown and Peanuts products below - that you might like to gift this Christmas!


Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!❄

As I’m writing this, it truly feels like I’m living inside a snow globe. We’ve had snow on the ground or falling nearly every single day in December, and today it is falling again! While I’m not sure if we’ll have a White Christmas, it has already been a wonderfully snowy month- making everything feel extra cozy and Christmassy!

Here in the Midwest, we’re currently under a Winter Storm Warning, and we could see six inches of snow or more! (the number seems to keep changing!) It’s absolutely beautiful to watch the snowfall from the warmth of indoors, but my heart goes out to anyone who has to travel in it. If you’re experiencing winter weather like this too, please stay safe, take care, and keep warm and cozy!

Merry Christmas and 

Blessings to You All!!!

While everyone settles into camp, Snoopy and Woodstock discover a treasure map that takes them on a wild adventure nearby.

"Camp Snoopy"

After discovering their troop is in danger of disbanding, Snoopy and the Beagle Scouts set off to immerse themselves in nature and the Great Outdoors, with the Beagle Scout Manual as their guide.

"Snoopy Presents: It's the Small Things, Charlie Brown"

In this Emmy and PGA Award-nominated program, Sally's bond with a special little flower on the baseball field may spell disaster for the big game. For Charlie Brown and the team, it's just the inspiration they need to make a positive impact on their environment.

"Snoopy Presents: Lucy's School"

The Emmy Award-nominated special features the Peanuts gang anxious about starting at a new school in the fall, inspiring Lucy to start her own school instead, but teaching isn't as easy as it sounds. "Lucy's School" is a love letter to teachers and an appreciation of the impact a teacher can have on a child. It explores the fear of change, and shows how Lucy, supported by her friends, faces and overcomes her own fears.

"Snoopy Presents: To Mom (And Dad), With Love"

In this Humanitas and Emmy Award-nominated special, Mother's Day is almost here, and everyone in the Peanuts gang is excited, except for Peppermint Patty.

Snoopy also tags along as Woodstock tries to find his mom.

"Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie"

Emmy Award-nominated and Annie Award-winning "Snoopy Presents: One-of-a-Kind Marcie" shows us firsthand how our lovable introvert, Marcie, makes a monumental difference from behind the scenes for both her friends and her community. To train for the school golf championship, Marcie assists Peppermint Patty as her caddie, offering thoughtful and deliberate advice to help her win. Meanwhile, after coming up with brilliant solutions to her classmates' problems - from hallway traffic jams to lunchtime pizza shortages - Marcie is unexpectedly elected as class president ... a role she never wanted.

"Snoopy Presents: Welcome Home, Franklin"

The Emmy, Annie, Humanitas and NAACP Image Award-nominated origin story for one of Peanuts' most beloved characters, the special follows Franklin as he moves to a new town and navigates new friendships. Franklin's family is always on the move with his dad's military job, and everywhere he goes, Franklin finds support in a notebook filled with his grandfather's advice on friendship. But when Franklin tries his usual strategies with the Peanuts gang, he has trouble fitting in. That's until he learns about the neighborhood Soap Box Derby race. According to his grandfather, everyone loves a winner! He's sure that winning the race will also mean winning over some new friends. All he needs is a partner, which he finds in Charlie Brown. Franklin and Charlie Brown work together to build a car and, in the process, become good buddies.

"Who Are You, Charlie Brown?"

This Emmy Award-winning program honoring the "everyman" creator, Charles "Sparky" Schulz, "Who Are You, Charlie Brown?" is an Apple Original documentary that celebrates the significance and global multigenerational popularity of the comic strip and its timeless artistry and design, to profile the man whose simple characters would touch the lives of millions through the decades and become beloved cultural icons.

"Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne"

In this Annie Award-nominated special, after the Peanuts gang experience a disappointing Christmas because Grandma can't visit, Lucy resolves to throw herself the best New Year's Eve party ever, while Charlie Brown struggles to accomplish just one of his resolutions before the clock strikes twelve.

"Peanuts in Space: Secrets of Apollo 10"

Schulz's beloved "Peanuts" characters.

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...

"And there were in the same country

shepherds abiding in the fields,

keeping watch over their flocks by night.

And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,

and the glory of The Lord shone round about them,

and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them,

Fear not, for behold,

I bring unto you good tidings of great joy,

which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day

in the City of David,

a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you;

you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes

and lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel,

a multitude of the heavenly host,

praising God, and saying,

'Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace, good will toward men'.

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
