Where to Watch Your Favorite Peanuts Movies & Specials
The seasons are swiftly changing. It seems like just yesterday it was time to watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and now, ’tis the season to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. Which begs the question, where can you watch all of the Peanuts specials and movies? Apple TV+ now owns exclusive rights to almost all of the Peanuts content, first created by Charles M. Schulz.

In years past, all of the specials aired on network television, usually ABC or CBS. However, Apple TV+ now owns the content so you will have to pay for the streaming service to be able to watch the specials. They do offer a free trial if you want to try it just to watch these specials and cancel before the trial is up. In addition, Apple TV+ recently announced that anyone can watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on Saturday, December 16, and Sunday, December 17, so mark your calendars if you don’t already have Apple TV+ or previously used the free trial.

Not only does Apple TV+ offer nostalgic Peanuts movies, specials, and shows, but they also have some new Peanuts content up now. Just this year, they released One-of-a-Kind Marcie, focusing on the introverted character Marcie in the Peanuts universe. Last year, they released Lucy’s School which has Lucy starting her own school to help ease the nerves of her friends starting a new school in the fall. There are several other specials centered around holidays such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and New Year’s Eve. Watch them all on Apple TV+.
