Don’t be a blockhead: “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” streams free for everyone this weekend — no Apple TV subscription or free trial required. The Peanuts Thanksgiving special will be available Saturday, Nov. 14, and Sunday, Nov. 15.
To watch, open the Apple TV app or go to tv.apple.com during the free weekend, search for “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and press play. Apple TV subscribers can stream the special year-round. For everyone else, the free window is the chance to watch without signing up or paying.
The free weekend is part of Apple’s seasonal viewing windows for the Peanuts specials, which became exclusive to its streaming service after Apple acquired the rights. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will stream for free on Dec. 12–13.
Here’s how to watch:
- Open the Apple TV app or go to tv.apple.com on Oct. 17 or 18.
- Search for “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.”
