Apple TV released the trailer for Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy, a new animated Christmas special. The special will stream exclusively on Apple TV on November 13, 2026.

Why it matters

The special extends the Peanuts franchise, based on the comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz, into holiday programming for viewers in the United States who subscribe to Apple TV. Its release on a single streaming platform means audiences must access it through that service.

The special's release is set for November 13, 2026, exclusively on Apple TV, with the story covering the final 12 days before Christmas. The extraction provides no box office, viewership, or production budget figures, and it does not say whether the special will be available beyond Apple TV.

The players

Apple TV

Apple TV is the streaming service from Apple that will exclusively carry the special.

Charles M. Schulz

Charles M. Schulz was the cartoonist who created the Peanuts comic strip on which the franchise is based.

The details

Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy follows Snoopy as he tries to win back his place after Santa Claus put him on the naughty list. He enlists other Peanuts characters to change Santa's mind, but his efforts to help others land him in further trouble. The score is composed by Jeff Morrow, and the special includes John Legend's original song "Get Ready," produced by Raphael Saadiq, along with Kamasi Washington's "Trying to Get There," featuring Leon Bridges, and Laufey's version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," produced by Spencer Stewart.

Industry Dynamics

The special continues the Peanuts holiday television tradition into the era of exclusive streaming releases, with Apple TV as the sole distributor. This places a long-established family franchise on a single subscription platform rather than broadcast television.

Viewers in the United States will need an Apple TV subscription to watch the special, which premieres exclusively on that platform on November 13, 2026. The special is not announced for any other service or broadcast network in the extraction.

The takeaway

Families planning holiday viewing should note the November 13, 2026 Apple TV release date and plan to access the special through that subscription service.
