Apple's hosting the annual Peanuts Thanksgiving a little earlier this year.

In the decades since its TV debut in 1973, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" has become a vehicle for families everywhere to get into the holiday spirit.

The nearly 30-minute special has aired almost every year on ABC and CBS, but things changed when Apple acquired the rights to Peanuts holiday specials in 2020.

The special also aired briefly on PBS in the years after Apple's acquisition. Now, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and all other Peanuts content will stream exclusively on Apple TV until 2030.

But Apple's streaming service continues to offer the public a chance to catch all of the Peanuts holiday specials for free during certain times of the year, and this upcoming weekend is one of them.

Between Peppermint Party inviting the Peanuts gang to Charlie Brown's house and Snoopy cooking up his own version of a Thanksgiving meal with Woodstock, the ragtag group of friends has quite a bit to sort out on Turkey Day, especially Charlie Brown, who was supposed to visit his grandmother.

Here's how to watch "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" for free this weekend.

Charlie Brown and friends will celebrate Thanksgiving on Apple TV+ this holiday season.

Apple TV is the "exclusive streaming home" for all things "Peanuts," including holiday specials through 2030.

The good news, however, for those who don't have an Apple TV subscription, is that the streaming and tech giant is offering "special streaming windows" on certain days.

This year, that means "Peanuts" fans will be able to catch the special for free for two days this weekend: Saturday, Nov. 15, and Sunday, Nov. 16. Apple TV+ subscribers, on the other hand, can watch the specials and all other "Peanuts" content, anytime, all year long.
