The end of the year is right around the corner, and there's no better way to unwind this holiday season than watching a classic Christmas movie like A Charlie Brown Christmas.

After tuning in for It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, you might be wondering where you can see the next beloved Peanuts special with its sparse Christmas trees and jazz music. Since the holiday classic first premiered in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas has had a home on TV. But in more recent years, the Charles M. Schulz comedy has become more difficult to find on the airwaves.

Inevitably, this is making folks wonder ... where can I watch A Charlie Brown Christmas? Below, you’ll find all the information for how you can watch and stream A Charlie Brown Christmas. For instance, if you’ve been wondering about the movie being available online, like on Netflix, take a look at the streaming options below:

Where to watch and stream A Charlie Brown Christmas in 2022:

On September 29, news broke that neither PBS nor PBS Kids will be airing the classic Peanuts specials, including It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas.

“Regretfully, PBS does not have the rights to distribute the Peanuts specials this year,” a tweet from the network read. This means that you probably won't be able to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas on TV.

That said, A Charlie Brown Christmas is available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+ with a paid subscription ($6.99 a month) or a free seven-day trial. What's more, Apple TV+ announced that it will allow everyone to watch the holiday special for free from December 22 to December 25.

But if you end up paying for a subscription, it'll be well worth it because you'll get the full Peanuts special experience with the latest addition, For Auld Lang Syne, which premiered in December 2021. The New Year's Eve-themed movie is the perfect follow-up to A Charlie Brown Christmas, so you might as well block out a whole night to watch 'em back-to-back.

Is A Charlie Brown Christmas on Netflix, Hulu or Disney+?

The short answer is no. Back in 2020, Peanuts Worldwide signed a deal with Apple TV+, making it the exclusive streaming service for all Peanuts content, both new and old. That means you won't be able to find A Charlie Brown Christmas (or any other Peanuts movie, for that matter) on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu or other streaming platforms. You can, however, pick up the DVD on Amazon, so you and your family can watch it whenever you want.
