A Charlie Brown Christmas streams for free from December 22 - 25, 2022 on Apple TV

Bah, humbug!  For the first time in 57 years, A Charlie Brown Christmas will not be shown on broadcast television.

Instead, in 2022, the beloved Christmas special will only be available to stream for free - without a subscription - via the Apple TV app from Thursday, December 22 through Sunday, December 25, 2022. (Lumps of coals to all the Apple executives, please.)

You do not need an Apple device to use the Apple TV app. It's also available on a variety of streaming devices, including Rokus and Amazon Fires, and on many different smart TV brands. You can also watch using a web browser on any device by going to tv.apple.com . See this Apple support page for a more detailed list of supported devices and how to watch.

While you won't have to subscribe to Apple TV+, you will need to either have, or create, an Apple ID to sign in and watch. After you sign in, search for A Charlie Brown Christmas.

(Subscribers can stream the show at any time, of course.)

The special remains available for purchase on DVD and Blu-ray as an alternative to streaming from Apple TV+.
