A Charlie Brown Christmas: ‘Peanuts’- A Streaming Christmas Classic

Yuletide Tradition: A Charlie Brown Christmas

As the festive season approaches, households are gearing up for the cherished traditions of tree decorating, cookie baking, and, of course, cozying up to classic Christmas movies. Amidst the perennial favorites like “Home Alone” and “A Christmas Story,” there’s one timeless animated gem that has warmed hearts for decades – “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Streaming Under the Mistletoe

In days of yore, this beloved movie was an annual broadcast on CBS and ABC, delighting audiences with Charlie Brown’s endearing holiday escapades. However, a plot twist unfolded in 2020 when Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts holiday specials, including our cherished Christmas classic.

Farewell to Broadcast, Hello Apple TV+

In a move that changed the channel, or rather, the streaming platform, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will not grace standard television this year.

Instead, it has found a snug spot on Apple TV+, with subscribers having the luxury of enjoying this festive treat anytime they desire. To unlock the holiday magic, a subscription to Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month after a complimentary 7-day trial.

In a world where streaming has become the new tinsel on the Christmas tree of entertainment, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” continues to bring joy, laughter, and a touch of nostalgia to audiences, proving that some traditions are just a click away.
