Join Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the gang as they tune in to watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” free for everyone on Apple TV. Here’s how and when.
For many of us, Charlie Brown and the “Peanuts” gang mark some of our earliest movie memories. That’s why Apple TV ensures that everyone can revisit those warm, fuzzy childhood feelings, regardless of whether they have an active Apple TV subscription.
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” follows the gang on their Halloween adventures, including trick-or-treating and waiting for the Great Pumpkin.
He is gone from CBS and PBS, probably forever. But Apple TV will once again make the Halloween classic available for free to anyone who wants to watch it on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18.
Charlie Brown and the gang will also return for free during Thanksgiving and Christmas during 2026.

In 2020, Apple signed a deal with rights holders WildBrain and Peanuts Worldwide to bring Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the whole gang to Apple TV. In October 2025, the company announced an extension of that agreement.
Apple TV holds the streaming rights to all Peanuts content through 2030. To watch new or classic specials outside of the limited streaming windows, you’ll need an Apple TV subscription.
Apple TV offers a three-month free trial when first-time viewers purchase an eligible device, such as an iPhone. A seven-day free trial is also available, after which the monthly cost is $14.99 or $119.99 per year.
