You see…the Apple+ streaming service bought the rights to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in 2020…and the show has disappeared from regular television ever since. Until this weekend! Apple+ has announced that on Saturday, November 18th and Sunday, November 19th, Peanuts fans view this nostalgic program for free.

I, for one, intend to take advantage of this offer. I don’t usually watch Apple+ but I certainly will be putting the service on my TV for Charlie Brown! He rules! So enjoy your turkey and stuffing and Charlie Brown, gang! And have a great holiday season!
