If there is one lamentation that sometimes comes up regarding this era of streaming, it would have to be that now and again, true holiday classics aren’t available to the masses to watch, without taking part in a trial or having a subscription to a particular service. That frustration exists simply because there was a time when a lot of programs that fall under that concern, were free and on the air before being moved to the world of streaming, but alas… this is the new norm and streaming is here to stay… and that is why some networks are going the extra mile to help with those frustrations.

For instance, Apple TV+ has made a habit of making certain iconic specials and shows available for free when the time is right to stream them, so that families can indeed enjoy those incredible stories as part of their yearly viewing traditions, and they are preparing to do that once again. For recently, Apple announced that it will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in style, by having it air free the 18th and 19th of November. So, fans of this classic can kick back and enjoy a true classic that’s hung on for fifty years and to make sure you have all the information regarding this event, here are all the details from the source.
