It’s time for the most beloved animated Halloween special of all time. Unfortunately, it’s not available to watch on one of the broadcast networks, as it was In the Good Old Days, but you can still watch it free of charge.

Watch ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ for free

Charlie Brown’s Halloween special, “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” is an Apple TV+ property, but it’s available free of charge on the streaming network from Friday, Oct. 28 through Monday, Oct. 31.

In previous years, The News & Observer has reported, Apple TV+ shared the special with PBS. But this year, streaming is the only option.

In the beloved PEANUTS special, created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown preps for a Halloween party while Snoopy sets his sights on the Red Baron. All the while, Linus patiently awaits a pumpkin patch miracle.

Some programming descriptions are provided by networks.
