When Is ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ On TV This Year?

The holidays are near, and it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a Christmas movie — and for many people, that means it’s time to rewatch 1965’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, snuggled up with the nostalgia for the Peanuts gang. This year, the beloved holiday special will not be airing on traditional television at all, due to a deal Apple+ made in 2020 to have exclusive rights to all Peanuts cartoons. Instead, it will be available exclusively on Apple TV+, where subscribers can stream it anytime, and non-subscribers can watch it free during a special window on December 13 and 14, 2025.
