A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Last updated

Despite officially being an Apple TV+ exclusive, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" will again be shown on free to air broadcast television, courtesy of Apple and PBS.

It won't be returning to ABC, its home for decades, but US television viewers will still be able to watch the special without subscribing to, or even watching, Apple TV+. As it did in 2020, the holiday favorite is once more getting a screening on PBS and PBS Kids. They will both air it at 7:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, November 21.

The PBS website has uploaded a preview clip of the special, while the organization's CEO, Paula Kerger, announced the date to the press.

"We are delighted to bring the joy of these holiday classics to families across the country, in partnership with our member stations," she said. "During these challenging times, public television continues to be a free and easily accessible source of comfort, inspiration and education for millions of Americans."

The 25-minute special is already available to watch for Apple TV+ subscribers.
