Apple TV Announces Holiday Specials and Free Charlie Brown Streaming Dates

Apple TV has announced two new holiday specials for 2026, led by 'Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy' on November 13 and 'Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift' on December 4. The lineup also includes three free streaming weekends for Charlie Brown classics and the November premiere of 'Way of the Warrior Kid.'

In the new Peanuts special, Snoopy has 12 days to get off Santa's naughty list. The music includes John Legend's 'Get Ready,' Kamasi Washington's 'Trying To Get There' featuring Leon Bridges, and a performance of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' by Laufey. Peanuts and WildBrain produced the special.

'Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift' follows Wembley after he is named Spirit Captain and the Fraggles take a snow globe from Doc's workshop, putting the holiday celebrations at risk. Nicole Scherzinger appears in the musical special, which comes from The Jim Henson Company and the team behind 'Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.'

Three existing Peanuts specials will be available to stream without a subscription on separate weekends: 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' on October 17-18, 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving' on November 14-15, and 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' on December 12-13. Subscribers can watch all three outside those free windows.

The new family film 'Way of the Warrior Kid' arrives November 25. Jude Hill plays Marc, a bullied middle-school student whose injured uncle Jake, played by Chris Pratt, comes to stay with the family. Jake, a Navy SEAL, sets up a training program for Marc that focuses on courage rather than fighting. Linda Cardellini plays Marc's mother, Sarah.

Apple TV is also highlighting its existing holiday catalog, including 'The First Snow of Fraggle Rock,' 'The Velveteen Rabbit,' 'Spirited,' 'Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas,' and seasonal episodes of 'Frog and Toad,' 'Shape Island,' and 'The Snoopy Show.'
