How to watch 'Peanuts' classics this holiday season for free

SALT LAKE CITY — The time of live broadcasting favorite holiday movies is over. Now, it's time to gather together, grab the hot cocoa and stream instead! Not everyone subscribes to streaming services though. So how can people watch those holiday favorites, like "Peanuts" classics? Back in 2020, Apple TV+ bought the rights to the "Peanuts" catalog, the Associated Press reported. That means the only way to watch movies like "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is through the streaming service, instead of sitting around the television waiting for "Charlie Brown" and "Snoopy" to appear. Although times have changed since the "Peanuts" first arrived as a comic strip published in 1950, Apple TV+ does have a way people can watch the big classics, like "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" just in time for the holiday. Starting on Saturday, Apple TV said it will be streaming "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" for free until Sunday, a little more than a week before Thanksgiving. The streaming service also said "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will be available to watch for free on Dec. 13 and Dec. 14.
