‘Tis the season to tune into a “Peanuts” holiday special.
With October in full swing and Halloween on the horizon, fans of the comic strip-turned-animated series may be interested in an annual rewatch of the seasonal episodes.
While “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” are staples for later in the holiday season, those looking to get into the spooky spirit can opt for “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the “Peanuts” Halloween special, according to Apple TV. It first began airing on television in 1966 before moving over to the streaming service.
