All hope isn’t lost, though – the classics will be available to stream for free on Apple TV + for a limited time

After a year on Apple TV+, the program will air on PBS and PBS Kids at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, according to Variety and other media outlets.

In this Dec. 20, 2020, still image taken from video, Wesley Morgan, a 32-year-old in Denver, shows a letter from one of his Peanuts pen pals. After being furloughed from his job at the Denver International Airport, Morgan began writing to over 500 older adults living in isolation due to the pandemic. It’s from Wesley Morgan, a 32-year-old fan of the comic strip “Peanuts” who’s been sending Snoopy-themed cards and letters across the country to ease the solitude of older adults in isolation due to the coronavirus. Many of them have become regular correspondents — his “Peanuts” pen pals, as he calls them. She and Morgan began writing each other so frequently that they recently switched to email to speed the correspondence.

Apple TV and PBS teamed up to bring the classic holiday cheer back into viewers' homes. With Apple TV’s new ownership of the Peanuts franchise, the Charlie Brown holiday specials weren’t supposed to air this year. However, the company had a change of heart after the criticism they received for not airing “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” back in October. This image released by Apple shows key art for the animated classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas" holiday special. Apple and PBS have teamed up for ad free broadcasts of the special and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
