It goes without saying that watching Charlie Brown and his Peanuts gang is a staple activity amongst any holiday. And yes, that includes Halloween!
Throwing on It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is simply an October-must, and we won't hear otherwise! Dating all the way back to 1966, the Halloween tradition reigns strong year after year, distracting us from the scariest things about the holiday, such as haunted houses and horror movies. Though, figuring out how to watch It’s the Great Pumpkin is a bit more complex than years past. The Halloween classic and its' family of films (such as A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Happy New Year Charlie Brown, and more) used to be aired on PBS and PBS Kids annually— given the appropriate holiday and season of the flick. However, as of a few years ago, that is no longer the case. Yeah, we know...*cue the tears.*
