How to watch the “Peanuts Holiday Collection” from anywhere

Charlie Brown and the rest of the “Peanuts” are enjoyed by fans in over 75 countries and 21 languages worldwide.

Global fans can use a VPN to access Apple TV+ and watch the “Peanuts Holiday Collection.”

A VPN helps you access geo-restricted content on streaming platforms so you can watch holiday movies from anywhere in the world. Adding a VPN to your devices protects them while on shared Wi-Fi and may even speed up your internet connection if your internet service provider (ISP) is throttling you.

The best VPNs offer plenty of servers, work with streaming platforms, and hide your personal information from potential hackers. Below, we’ve listed a few of our favorites.

The “Peanuts Holiday Collection” schedule

In the past, Apple TV teamed up with PBS to broadcast holiday “Peanuts” episodes on the channel. It doesn’t look like that will be an option in the foreseeable future, but Apple TV has acknowledged the public outcry for the regular airing of the holiday specials. Apple TV airs the “Peanuts Holiday Collection” on select dates for free.

“It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” aired for free on the Apple TV platform on the weekend of October 19th & 20th, 2024. 

“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” was also aired before the holiday on the weekend of November 23rd & 24th, 2024.

If you missed those but still want to catch “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” you’re in luck. Apple TV will air that Christmas special on December 14th and 15th, 2024. To view, you’ll need to go to tv.apple.com or download the Apple TV app on your preferred device. Then, just tune in on those days to stream for free.

Currently, there is no free-to-watch release date for “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,” although it is available to watch with a paid Apple TV+ subscription.
