According to a press release from Apple, they are once again making It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown available for non-subscribers for a few days in October. From Friday Oct. 28 through Monday Oct. 31, anyone with internet access will be able to watch the special for free on Apple TV+. All you have to do is go to tv.apple.com or make sure the Apple TV app is downloaded to your streaming device of choice. For anyone not familiar with It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Apple’s official synopsis reads: “Costumes, candy, this classic special – some things just scream Halloween. Join the Peanuts gang for a timeless adventure as Charlie Brown preps for a party, Snoopy sets his sights on the Red Baron, and Linus patiently awaits a pumpkin patch miracle.” As someone who was brought up on the Charlie Brown holiday specials, it’s great to see that Apple TV+ is still making them available to all, regardless of if they subscribe to their service or not. Watching It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown before Halloween was a tradition in my family up until I left for college, and I hope that making it available for free will help other families and adults like me that are feeling nostalgic keep traditions like this alive. It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is family-friendly fare that is great for watching with others or as festive background noise while carving pumpkins or putting up decorations. It’s on the very low end of the spooky spectrum, so it’s the perfect comfort watch for the season. It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is available to Apple TV+ subscribers year-round as are other Charlie Brown holiday specials A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Apple is also expanding its Peanuts holiday specials this year with I Want a Dog for Christmas and Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales.
