I just looked for this on Amazon and ITunes. It is NOT AVAILABLE for purchase from either. So, of course, I started digging on the net to find out what is going on.
There was a recent article in Parade about
it (

“

I learned from the article that Apple bought rights to all Peanuts media in 2020.
“ there was an outcry in 2020 when Apple acquired the rights to all Peanuts-related media and announced that the Charlie Brown Christmas special, as well as the Halloween and Thanksgiving specials, would be available to view only on Apple’s streaming service, Apple TV+. ”
“In response to these complaints, Apple relented. The week before Thanksgiving, the tech giant announced that they had struck a deal with PBS to air A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas on TV last year, without ads.
In 2021, that tradition will continue. . . .”
Has anyone watched this on Apple TV? Did they show the unedited original, or did they take out all references to Jesus and the Bible reading?
