How to Watch 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' For Free

I've been keeping you up to speed with this year's showings of TV's favorite holiday specials, like 'Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer' and 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas', both of which aired in the past week.

Those Christmas favorites were on free, network TV, though, so they were easy to watch.

When it comes to many people's favorite Christmas special, 'A Charlie Brown Christmas', which is exclusively streaming again this year, it's not that simple, unless you subscribe to Apple TV+.

Since 2020, all the "Peanuts" TV specials have lived behind a paywall of the subscription streaming Apple TV+ service.

What's 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' All About?

"A Charlie Brown Christmas" follows the story of our favorite member of the Peanuts gang, Charlie Brown, as he struggles with his disappointment over the commercialism of Christmas.

When he becomes the director of the kids' holiday play, he tries his best to point his singing and dancing peers toward discovering the true meaning of Christmas with the help of a most pathetic, yet, iconic little tree in the process.
