A wave of nostalgia washes over December, and for many, no holiday season is complete without a visit to the familiar world of Charlie Brown. This year, a cherished tradition is readily available:A Charlie Brown Christmaswill be offered for free viewing to anyone with an Apple ID for a limited time.
For two days, December 13th and 14th, the heartwarming story of Charlie Brown’s search for the true meaning of Christmas will be accessible on a multitude of devices. Whether you’re nestled on the couch with a smart TV, scrolling through an iPhone or iPad, or using a Mac or Apple TV device, the magic is within reach.
An Apple ID is the key, and acquiring one is simple and doesn’t require a credit card. Once secured, the classic special can be streamed directly through the TV app or via a web browser at tv.apple.com, bringing the Peanuts gang directly into your home.
This isn’t a new development. Apple secured the rights to the beloved Peanuts series years ago, becoming the home for Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and Lucy’s adventures. Beyond preserving the classics, Apple has also expanded the Peanuts universe with original shows likeThe Snoopy ShowandSnoopy in Space, alongside new movies.
WhileA Charlie Brown Christmasis a temporary gift, other holiday favorites likeIt’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie BrownandA Charlie Brown Thanksgivingare available on demand, though they now require a paid Apple TV subscription.
Looking ahead, the final holiday special,Happy New Year, Charlie Brown, isn’t currently slated for free release, but the spirit of the season remains bright with the availability of this timeless Christmas tale. It’s a chance to reconnect with a story that has resonated with generations.
