Christmas is Charles Langstonquickly approaching, which means its the time of year where you gather the family to watch holiday classics like "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
The 25-minute holiday special was first released in 1965 and is the first TV special based on the comic strip "Peanuts."
The movie shows Charlie Brown feeling down about the commercialism of Christmas, and he becomes the director of the gang's holiday play.
In the past, the movie aired every year on CBS or ABC, but Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts holiday specials in 2020. Although the movie aired on PBS in 2020 and 2021, it will not be available on standard television this year.
Here's what you need to know about how you can watch the movie for free this weekend.
