Trying to figure out how to watch "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"? While Apple TV still holds the rights to stream the classic holiday special year-round. Here's everything you need to know to watch.

'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' streaming details

Streaming service: Apple TV Plus
Run-time: 30 minutes
Director: Bill Melendez, Phil Roman
Rotten Tomatoes: 100%
Original release date: 1973

Like a classic sitcom, Charlie Brown finds himself having to host Thanksgiving dinner for Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Franklin, and the rest of the gang on short notice. However, he has neither the time nor the ingredients for a proper feast, so he enlists Snoopy and Woodstock to help make a meal out of toast, popcorn, and jelly beans.

The plot of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" treads a little over the same ground as the Christmas special, but it does feature Snoopy and Woodstock more.
