More than 50 years after it first aired, A Charlie Brown Christmas remains one of the finest holiday specials ever conceived. Who knew that a cartoon based on a newspaper strip about a depressed, bald child could impart such poignant lessons about Christmas that still resonate to this day? Reject consumerism, embrace your loved ones. It’s not about the size of your tree, it’s about the size of your heart.

Every generation deserves a chance to see A Charlie Brown Christmas for themselves, if only to hear the absolutely unbelievable Vince Guaraldi Trio jazz score (which is available via many streaming music services). Fortunately, through the convenience of video streaming services, you can invite this holiday spirit into your home on your own schedule.

Is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on Netflix?

No, but you can watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on Apple TV+. Apple scooped up the rights to Peanuts in order to bring these beloved specials to its video streaming service, as well as produce new specials like Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne.

Apple TV+ costs $9.99 per month, and includes a seven-day free trial. The trial extends to three months if you buy a new Apple device, such as an iPad or iPhone.

Will "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Air on TV?

Unfortunately, unlike previous years, Apple will not let PBS broadcast the special live on TV. As with A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, it's Apple TV+ or bust.

If you don’t want to sign up for a streaming video service just to watch one special, there's another option. A Charlie Brown Christmas will also be available for anyone to watch on Apple TV+ for free, without subscribing, from December 16 through December 17.

However you choose to stream it, we hope that A Charlie Brown Christmas deepens your appreciation for the magic of the holidays.
