As most of you know by now, there will be no Charlie Brown cartoons this holiday season on ABC since Apple purchased the streaming rights. (In the words of Lucy... "Those Blockheads!" Sorry, it had to be said and now I feel much better.)
Despite there being no showing of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and cherished favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas on their channel this Christmas, ABC will still be airing some beloved Christmas cartoons. It doesn't make up for Charlie Brown by any means; however, it's still nice to see some tradition is remaining.
In their recent press release, ABC revealed air-times for the Disney animations Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Disney Prep & Landing, plus the Rankin/Bass classic Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town and others. In addition to that programming, ABC is also bringing back the annual CMA Country Christmas and The Great Christmas Light Fight, as well as The Disney Holiday Singalong and The Sound of Music. See the schedule below...
