‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’ 2019 Air Date: When, Where To Watch On TV, Online

For those who find that there’s no Thanksgiving like “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” then Wednesday is when your holiday truly arrives, not Thursday.

The classic 1973 cartoon special currently only has one air date for the rest of 2019, and it’s this Wednesday on ABC at 8 p.m. EST. Ahead of Thanksgiving day on Thursday, get in the festive fall spirit by checking out this iconic program, which was created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.

“Charlie Brown wants to do something special for the gang,” according to the synopsis. “However, the dinner he arranges is a disaster when the caterers, Snoopy and Woodstock, prepare toast and popcorn as the main dish. Humiliated, it will take all of Marcie's persuasive powers to salvage the holiday for Charlie Brown.”

Afterward, a bonus cartoon, “This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers,” will air on ABC. Centered on the Mayflower voyagers, this animated special is set in the year 1620, and, “after 65 grueling, sea-tossed days, the Pilgrims are in view of America’s shores – and Charlie Brown and the Peanuts crew are with them as they experience firsthand the lifestyle of the early settlers and celebrate the first Thanksgiving,” the network revealed of the program.

If you’re not able to check out the special Wednesday night, or just want to be able to see it whenever you want, it’s also available to watch online, though it’s not streaming anywhere for free. “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” can be rented or purchased on Vudu or Amazon Prime Video, starting at $3.99.

With multiple ways to watch “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” on TV and online this year, it’ll be easy to continue having the show as part of everyone’s Thanksgiving week festivities.
