Apple TV+ extended its Peanuts partnership through 2030, which means another five years of our favorite childhood pair: Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

The Peanuts franchise turns 75 this year. Three generations have grown up with these characters. Charles Schulz created something that transcends nostalgia. They are more than just cartoons.

The holiday specials remain, well special. Watching Linus recite the Christmas story, or waiting with him in that pumpkin patch, or seeing Snoopy cook toast and popcorn for Thanksgiving are core memories to pass down. Apple’s keeping them accessible with free streaming weekends: “It’s the Great Pumpkin” on October 18-19, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” November 15-16, and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” December 13-14.

Since 2020, Apple’s added new specials and series that capture Schulz’s gentle wisdom. The animation stays true to the original style.
