Where to Watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving This Year

By Cameron Bonomolo

To quote Charlie Brown: "We've got another holiday to worry about. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us." With another holiday comes another Peanuts holiday special, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, based on the iconic comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. As much a Thanksgiving tradition as Lucy tricking that ol' blockhead into kicking the football, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving has regularly aired on broadcast television since 1973. But like its predecessors — 1965's A Charlie Brown Christmas and 1966's It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown — the Peanuts Thanksgiving special won't be broadcast on ABC or PBS in 2022.

Thankfully, there's a way to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving for free this year:
