Nothing says Thanksgiving quite like a classic cartoon movie filled with friendship, food, and fun. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is the perfect excuse to cozy up on the couch after that last bite of dessert and watch a sweet holiday treat that every member of the family can enjoy.
In this delightful Peanuts special, Charlie Brown might think he’s heading over to his grandmother’s to stuff his face with some green bean casserole, but that still doesn’t stop Peppermint Patty from inviting everyone over to his house for a festive Friendsgiving. While Snoopy certainly has some original ideas for what to put on the menu, he’ll also entertain his legions of adoring fans with an epic ping-pong match — against himself! (Who needs football anyway?) An annual viewing of this special is a tradition for many, so here’s everything you need to know to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in 2022.

So, without further ado, here's how to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in 2022. Now, if only we could get Snoopy to cook our Thanksgiving dinner too…

Good news! In October, Apple TV+ announced free streaming windows for all the Peanuts holiday classics in 2022. Mark your calendars for November 23 through November 27 to stream A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free, even if you are not an Apple TV+ subscriber.
How and where can I stream it any time of the year?
Sorry to break it to you, but you won't find Charlie and the gang on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is currently only available to stream on Apple TV+ only (with a subscription or free 7-day trial).

Post feast, queue up these best Thanksgiving movies (including Turkey Day Netflix movies) to watch with the whole family. After all, as a full-length feature, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is only 25 minutes, so everyone will need more fodder to ride out that tryptophan crash.
Will A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving air on TV in 2022?
While PBS had previously aired A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on TV, unfortunately, that’s not an option this holiday season. In a recent tweet, PBS announced that it will no longer air any of the Peanuts specials. Since 2020, Apple TV+ gobbled up all the rights to all the Charlie Brown specials, much to the chagrin of fans of the cartoon franchise. Those who watched the movie as part of their Thanksgiving celebration were down right outraged that the holiday classic would not be broadcast on television for the first time since the ‘60s.
But... Apple TV+ is not only offering up the free stream, the streaming platform is also releasing other holiday movies too. It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas, will also be available for bupkis for a limited time. This year’s Apple TV+ holiday line-up also expanded to include I Want a Dog for Christmas and Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales, too.
There are still other ways to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Even if you don’t have a subscription to Apple TV+ or if you miss the window for the free show, you’ll be thankful if you still have that DVD player hooked up for this exact kind of movie emergency. Amazon is currently selling the Peanuts holiday classic for $13.99. Best Buy also carries the 40th anniversary deluxe edition of the 1973 movie for $11.99.
Stream A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving exclusively on Apple TV+. ABC
So after you’re done with your third helping of stuffing, why not steal a move from Linus’ playbook and grab your coziest blanket. Head on over to the couch and stream A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free while you still can. And then go ahead and polish off that last piece of pumpkin pie. You deserve it.
