The entire Peanuts gang is coming back to public television for the beloved holiday special after taking a brief hiatus last year. The fall tradition will stream on Apple TV+ and will also be available to watch live on PBS, USA Today reports.

For decades, families have gathered around to watch classics like "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" for free on public television, but last year fans expressed outrage after the Halloween special was only available to Apple TV+ subscribers.

The streaming giant has since allowed for the return of the three specials on public airways.

The loveable Charlie Brown has always been one to get fans excited for spooky season and Halloween celebrations. "It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" first premiered on CBS in 1966 before moving to ABC in 2001.

“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” is scheduled to air on PBS and PBS Kids at 7:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 24.

You can also watch “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” on PBS at 7:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 21, and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at 7:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 19 on PBS and PBS Kids.

All three programs are available to stream now on Apple TV+.
