Good news for Peanuts fans! One of the most beloved Christmas specials of all time, A Charlie Brown Christmas, is returning for a free streaming window in the US this festive season — and it’s perfect for families wanting to keep the tradition alive without a subscription.
Apple TV+ Announces Two Free Streaming Days
Although Apple TV+ holds the exclusive rights to all Peanuts holiday specials through 2030, the company is once again offering a special two-day window where A Charlie Brown Christmas can be streamed completely free, even without a subscription.
📅 Free Streaming Dates (US Only)
Mark your calendar:
- Saturday, 13 December 2025
- Sunday, 14 December 2025
During these two days, anyone in the United States can open the Apple TV app (on any device) or visit the Apple TV+ website and watch the classic without logging in or subscribing.
Why the Free Window Matters
For decades, A Charlie Brown Christmas was a staple of US network television. When the rights moved exclusively to Apple TV+, many families worried the special would disappear from free-to-air holiday TV schedules. While it no longer airs on broadcast channels, Apple’s annual free weekend ensures the tradition continues for households who don’t subscribe to streaming platforms.
How to Watch
You can enjoy the free stream on:
- iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Apple TV devices
- Smart TVs with Apple TV app
- PlayStation and Xbox
- Any web browser via tv.apple.com
No sign-in required during the free weekend.
About the Special
Originally premiering in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas remains one of the most cherished holiday specials in American history. From Charlie Brown’s search for the true meaning of Christmas to the unforgettable jazz soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, it continues to capture hearts every December.
Plan Ahead
The free window only lasts 48 hours, and demand is usually huge. If this classic is part of your yearly tradition, set a reminder now so you and your family don’t miss it.
