For the first time in almost six decades, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving will not air on broadcast TV. All of the Charlie Brown holiday specials were purchased by Apple TV+. They will air on the streaming service, but luckily the specials will air for free on certain dates.
Be sure to download Apple TV+. Even if you are not a subscriber, you can watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving from November 25 to 27. You can then watch A Charlie Brown Christmas from December 11 to 13.
A year after the movie debuted, A Charlie Brown Christmas won an Emmy. It became ingrained as a holiday tradition in the latter half of the year for six decades. As a result of this break in tradition, people signed a petition protesting the move from broadcast TV to a streaming service.
