The popular Peanuts and Charlie Brown holiday specials are no longer broadcast on traditional television networks, due to Apple TV+ buying exclusive streaming rights. However, there is a way for those among you who do not have an Apple TV+ subscription to watch the “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” special for free.
Apple is offering short free windows for anyone to stream — no purchase necessary. Here’s how to watch it for free. The special is free to all on October 21 and October 22.
Just fire up the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, smart TVs, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku sticks, and other popular devices. You can also watch on your Mac or PC in a web browser at tv.apple.com. You will need to have or create an Apple ID.
You’ll still have to sign up for Apple TV+ if you want to watch this special or any other Peanuts specials any time of the year.
