“A Charlie Brown Christmas” Is Streaming For Free This Weekend Only

Many of us remember the days of waiting for our favorite holiday specials to air one night only during the season. The entire family would gather around the TV in the living room for a couple hours of Christmas fun. We looked forward to those nights, and they served as happy memories for many people. Of course, times have changed, and now we have much easier access to everything. With the internet and streaming services, the entire world is at our fingertips. However, that access can come with a higher price tag than days gone by. Luckily, one of the biggest streaming services gives guests free access to A Charlie Brown Christmas this weekend. If you want to watch Chuck, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and the Gang, this weekend is your chance.

While many holiday movies and shows are easily found across multiple platforms, Charlie Brown and his friends aren’t as easy to find. In 2018, Apple acquired the exclusive rights to the Peanuts catalog, including A Charlie Brown Christmas. If fans want to watch, they must subscribe to Apple TV+. However, each year, Apple offers a few free viewing windows. This year, it’s December 14 and 15. That means those who’d like to try the Apple TV+ streaming service will have access to all its programming on Saturday and Sunday.

Apple shared the exciting news in a release and a quick synopsis of A Charles Brown Christmas. “In this beloved Peanuts special, feeling down about the commercialism of Christmas, Lucy recruits Charlie Brown to be the director of the gang’s holiday play. Can he overcome his friends’ preference for dancing over acting, find the “perfect” tree and discover the true meaning of Christmas?”

For those looking to subscribe, Apple TV+ service costs $9.99 monthly, but anyone can enact a 7-day trial for free.
