As I type this, I'm sipping on chai tea, wrapped in a blanket covered in hedgehogs holding candy canes, while twinkly lights hang on the wall behind my head. That's right baby, it's Christmastime!! (Well, almost). It might not be Thanksgiving yet, but we're getting in the holiday spirit early, because...well, why not? A few Christmas music, a taste test of Taylor Swift's chai tea cookies, and A Charlie Brown Christmas are all surefire ways to make any cloudy, dark-before-5 pm day merry and bright. After you've watched Snoopy prepare dinner for all his friends in A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, press play on the oh so sweet A Charlie Brown Christmas!
Here's everything you need to know about how to stream A Charlie Brown Christmas for the 2024 holiday season.
How To Stream 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'
You can stream A Charlie Brown Christmas is streaming on Apple TV+ this year, which is also where you'll find It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. So if you're wondering, 'Is A Charlie Brown Christmas on Netflix?' unfortunately, no, it's not.
But while the $9.99 cost for an Apple TV+ subscription gives you access to literally so many other titles, it's understandable if that's a deal breaker. Good thing there's a 7-day free trial! Apple TV+ is also airing the special for free on two days during the holiday season: December 14 and December 15. Mark your calendar!

What happened in A Charlie Brown Christmas?
CBS/Apple
A Charlie Brown Christmas Plot
In A Charlie Brown Christmas, our titular main character is not feeling merry and bright. Even though the world is cheery (and snowy) around him, he simply can't break out of his funk — especially when he tries to direct his friends in the local Christmas play and they all make fun of him. But thankfully, Linus, and one special little Christmas tree, help save Charlie Brown's Christmas spirit.
The special definitely struck a chord in audiences. According to TODAY, almost half of the entire country tuned into the premiere, and A Charlie Brown Christmas ended up winning an Emmy in 1966 for Outstanding Children's Program.
When did A Charlie Brown Christmas come out?
CBS/Apple
A Charlie Brown Christmas Release Date
A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on CBS December 9, 1965. Even though Charles M. Schulz's comic strip introduced characters like Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, and Snoopy in 1950, this was the first time the characters appeared in a TV special.
Can I stream the music from A Charlie Brown Christmas?
Concord Music Group
Yes you can listen to the A Charlie Brown Christmas album (which has sold more than 5 million copies) on streaming platforms!
Why is A Charlie Brown Christmas not airing?
CBS/Apple
After Apple bought the rights to the Charlie Brown specials in 2018, A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown haven't regularly premiered on TV. 2022 marked the last time Apple allowed PBS stations to air A Charlie Brown Christmas once during the holiday season.

When any red carpet rolls around, there are certain couples we can pretty much always count on to show up looking cuter than ever. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend… But anyone who’s ever seen a tabloid knows that celebrity couples often have a relatively short lifespan. And so when we decided to look back at the red carpet couples of the past, we rediscovered a whole bunch of duos we totally forgot ever existed. These stars are incredible on their own, but even more powerful together. Scroll on down to take a look at all the now-Hollywood exes who made us do a double take.
Juliette Lewis + Brad Pitt
Vinnie Zuffante/Archive Photos/Getty Images
We tend to think of Angelina and Jennifer as Brad’s two big loves, but before them (and Gwyneth) came Juliette Lewis. The two dated for four years when they were both on the cusp of total stardom. These two just might be tied with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss as the most ’90s couple that’s ever existed.
Michael Jackson + Brooke Shields
Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images
A budding supermodel and a global pop sensation? It’s kind of a Hollywood match made in heaven, just like Brooke's curls. That dress on the other hand? We’re not so sure.
Matthew Broderick + Jennifer Grey
Vinnie Zuffante/TriStar/Getty Images
As much as we’d like to believe Sarah Jessica Parker was Matthew Broderick’s one and only, this couple makes a lot of sense. The two were both the main characters in epic teen ’80s movies – we’ll just forget about the fact that they played brother and sister in one of them…
Jake Gylenhaal + Reese Witherspoon
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images
Dang, why didn’t this couple work out again? Oh right, probably because that much wonderfulness packed into one couple would make the world explode. But they sure did look good together!
Drew Barrymore + Corey Feldman
Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images
Feldman once said that his first date with Drew was arranged by her mother when she was 10 and he was 14, because apparently Barrymore had a huge crush on him. They later dated briefly (this time for real) in 1989, when Drew was a teenager. Unfortunately, he was heavily into drugs during that time and she was trying to stay sober after multiple stints in rehab, so it didn’t last long.
Winona Ryder + Christian Slater
New World Pictures/Getty Images
Here’s to hoping this relationship ended a little more amicably than it did for their Heathers characters.
Julia Roberts + Kiefer Sutherland
Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images
It was supposed to be one of the biggest Hollywood weddings ever, and then all of a sudden, Julia called it off. Tragic. At least we have this red carpet moment to remember the couple by.
Stacy Keibler + George Clooney
Jason Merritt/Getty Images
Now that Amal is in the picture, it’s hard to imagine George with anyone else. But before that British vision of elegance came Stacy Keibler, the stunning professional wrestler and George’s beau for two years.

Let's be honest...I'll watch just about anything Reese Witherspoon or Will Ferrell are in, but I'm especially ready for You're Cordially Invited! While I was already hooked on this dynamic duo just based on the two of them alone, the trailer just dropped — and it did NOT disappoint. From wrestling alligators to wearing big, fuzzy zebra costumes, there's a lot of really funny stuff to unpack with this upcoming movie. Let's get into it!
Check out the You're Cordially Invited trailer here!
Okay, let's address the elephant — or two-time Superbowl-winning quarter back — in the room first. Hello, Peyton Manning! I swear, this man is everywhere right now, and I'm so here for it! I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at his "Paintin' Manning" commercials lately.
Anyway, back to the plot at-hand! When Reese Witherspoon's sister and Will Ferrell's daughter get engaged, the both manage to book the weddings for the same day (June 1)...and at the same venue! Classic conundrum! Instead of rescheduling, the two groups are forced to work it out between the two of them, and things get a little hairy.
Throughout the hilarity — and chaos — that ensues, we see a lot of good stuff. This includes (but is not limited to):
- Will Ferrell doing his daughter's hair in giant rollers
- The two wedding parties battling over the sunset ceremony
- A giant, fluffy zebra knocking a cake over during a conga line
- Male strippers that are totally giving Magic Mike vibes
- Will Ferrell wrestling an alligator?!
Needless to say, there's a LOT going on in this movie. If I'm already laughing that much at the trailer, I just know this is gonna good!
Catch You're Cordially Invited on Amazon Prime on January 30, 2025!

Latte makeup's twin sister, espresso makeup, has been gaining popularity ever since Danielle Marcan's viral TikTok video on how to do the look. So, what is espresso makeup? Much like what it sounds, it blends shades of brown and black to create a delicious look that looks and feels like a strong, invigorating shot of coffee. They say caffeine has dopamine-releasing properties; we can't vouch for that, but the Espresso makeup look is sure to give you all the good feels. Double-shot, please.
Thanks for reading about our favorite finds from across the internet! FYI: We participate in affiliate programs and may get a share of the revenue from your purchase.A Power Primer That Grips the MakeUp
Amazon
Any makeup look should start with the skin and with hydrating it well. This is especially true in winter when just a morning moisturizer is not enough to give the skin all the nourishment it needs. This Elf power grip primer hydrates, smooths, and grips the makeup. It has a translucent finish and is non-comedogenic, so there is no acne or clogged pores.
See it on AmazonA Skin Tint for a Sheer and Matte Finish
Amazon
Another option is to use a skin tint—a primer—with a bit of color, as Danielle does in the video. The goal is for the skin to look matte and sheer. Enriched with squalane, vitamin E, safflower, and avocado oils, which lock in hydration, this moisturizer offers sheer to light coverage with golden, neutral undertones - exactly the ones we're after. Put this on generously, knowing that it's good for you.
See it on AmazonThe Foundation for More Medium Coverage
Amazon
If you want better coverage, the Maybelline oil-free foundation still offers that natural matte look while allowing more build-up. Its oil-free formula makes it great for oily or acne-prone skin. It's available in 40 shades, so you're sure to find the tone to best suit your skin.

An eyeshadow primer will help your eyeshadow and pencil stick for longer and prevent creasing. Simply apply a pea-sized amount with your ring finger to your eyelid and wait for a couple of seconds for it to dry before proceeding with the rest of the eye makeup.
See it on AmazonEstee Lauder's Double Wear Foundation for, Well, a Double Wear
Amazon
Another really good foundation is the Estee Lauder double wear one. It has a matte finish and is famous for its long wear. Controls oil while also being oil-free.

For the perfect espresso look, the skin needs to be even. This is best achieved with a sponge to help blend the concealer in all the right places, like under the eyes and around the T-zone. If you don't own one, this seven-piece set of pink sponges in a variety of shapes and sizes will help you blend like a makeup pro.
See it on AmazonA Concealer to Brighten the Skin Under the Eyes
Amazon
Concealer seems to make the most difference when it comes to makeup—and yes, even with this espresso look. The bright, even skin tone under the eyes helps to give the brown eyeshadow even more of a powerful and dramatic effect. This Maybelline concealer erases the look of dark circles, blemishes, and redness and gives a fresh, youthful look.
See it on AmazonToo Faced's Born This Way Concealer
Amazon
This Too Faced Born This Way natural-looking concealer is multi-use, so you can apply it on the entire face instead of using a foundation. It could also be used for contouring; see below for more on that.
See it on AmazonContouring is Easy With This Contour Stick
Amazon
Contouring and bronzing are very important for the espresso look. This Sheglam contour stick makes contouring easy, even if you've never watched a tutorial on it. Simply apply vertical stripes under the hollows of your cheekbones, on the sides of your nose, and on the sides of your forehead and jawline. Blend in with a sponge or the contour applicator. Available in many shades.
See it on AmazonA Contouring Kit for Darker Skin

This creamy contouring kit will help you do it all—contour, sculpt, and illuminate—all from a single palette. It is suitable for darker skin and has a creamy formula that won't dry you out.
See it on AmazonA Contour 'Wonder Stick' With a Highlighter

This is a contour 'wonder stick' with a highlighter on one side as well. After you've applied the contour, apply the highlighter to the highest points of the face. It's super creamy and blendable.
See it on AmazonIf You Prefer a Bronzer, Go With This TikTok-Viral One
Amazon
If you prefer a bronzer over a contouring stick, you can go with this TikTok viral long-wear bronzer by L'Oreal. It is lightweight and buildable with a matte finish. It promises a weightless feel for up to 24 hours. Apply to cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, and chin.
See it on AmazonA Bronzer to Add a Hint of Cocoa to Your Espresso (Look)

Another bronzer that will add a note of cocoa to your espresso (look) is this Too Faced chocolate one. It's long-lasting, cruelty-free, and smells like chocolate!
See it on AmazonA Creamy Blush for Some Natural Radiance
Amazon
If the skin lacks natural radiance (it can often look quite pale at this time of year), use this blush to give a touch of color to the cheeks. Its creamy formula makes it even more blendable and natural-looking.
See it on AmazonA Powder Blush to Still Get Subtle Winter-Kissed Color
Amazon
If you'd rather use a powder blush than a stick, this shade in' Candy Clouds' will still give your cheeks a subtle, winter-kissed color while allowing for more buildup control.
See it on AmazonA Highlight Wand for Dewy Skin
Amazon
Danielle Marcan doesn't use a highlighter, but for all the highlighter fans who want that luminous and dewy skin glow, the espresso look can absolutely work with it, too. That's especially true with this highlight wand in champagne, which is buildable and blendable and allows you to add just a touch.
See it on AmazonThis Highlighting Palette Is So Vibrant
Amazon
If you'd rather apply it with a brush, this highlighter palette is Amazon's choice and is available in five different shades. Choose "Sun Glow" if you'd like to stick to the darker tones or pearl if you want an icy winter spin on the look.
See it on AmazonA Setting Powder To Finish Off Your Look
Amazon
To complete the matte finish, dust some setting powder over the face. This Amazon choice by Covergirl is a good option. It's lightweight and with 100% natural-origin pigments. It also includes a soft, vegan applicator. Danielle Marcan advises not to apply too much powder so you can still see the natural radiance of the face.
See it on AmazonSay Bye Bye to Pores With This Setting Powder by It Cosmetics
Amazon
Another good setting powder is this Bye Bye Pores one by It Cosmetics. With hydrolyzed collagen that supports elasticity, antioxidants to defend against radical damage, and silk that smooths and softens the skin.
See it on AmazonThis Brown Pencil Glides Right On
Amazon
Now we turn on the coffee machine and let it warm. We take the brown pencil. This one by Urban Decay glides on easily and is smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and waterproof. We apply it to half of the lid and then blend it on the rest of the lid with a brush. It should be applied to the lower lid as well.
See it on AmazonAn Eyeshadow Brush to Blend With
Amazon
If you don't have a suitable eyeshadow brush to blend with, this set of brushes will ensure you have all the ones you could ever need for the most sophisticated eye makeup. It includes an eyeshadow brush, eyeliner, eye pencil, and blending brush.

See it on AmazonA Brown Pencil in a Different Shade
Amazon
Since the brown pencil is one of the most important parts of this look, here's another one that offers a slightly different brown shade. It boasts a rich, hyper-pigmented color. It's Amazon's choice for a reason.
See it on AmazonAn Eyeshadow Palette to Make Your Espresso (Look) as Strong as You Like

This eyeshadow palette offers all the different shades of brown, so you can make your espresso (look) as strong as you like. They are creamy, rich, and blendable. Just the way you like your coffee.

Alternatively, you can use a black ink liner for the upper lid. This one is waterproof and has a matte black finish, giving it a more feline look.
See it on AmazonA 2-in-1 Gel Eyeliner Set in Black and Brown
Amazon
If you'd rather use a gel eyeliner, this 2-in-1 set offers one in black and brown so you can choose how dark to go. It also includes two makeup brushes. Some find applying eyeliner with a brush slightly easier, especially the less dexterous among us.
See it on AmazonA Bold Mascara in a Chocolate Color

The espresso look is best achieved with a bold mascara. This Too Faced mascara offers volume and length. It's available in a chocolate shade if you want to stay even more true to the espresso colors.
