Where to watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas': 'Peanuts' movie only on streaming this year
View Date:2024-12-23 21:16:26
Christmas is almost here, which means it's time to decorate the tree, bake some cookies and fire up the television for Christmas movies.
While movies such as "Home Alone" and "A Christmas Story" are great options, one animated movie that has been around for decades continues to stand the test of time: "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
In the past, the movie aired every year on CBS, ABC, but Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts holiday specials in 2020. Although the movie aired on PBS in 2020 and 2021, it will not be available on standard television this year.
The 25-minute holiday special was first released in 1965 and is the first TV special based on the comic strip "Peanuts."
The movie sees Charlie Brown feeling down about the commercialism of Christmas, and he becomes the director of the gang's holiday play.
Here's everything you need to know about "A Charlie Brown Christmas," including where and when you can watch it for free.
