John Legend's New Song 'Get Ready' Debuts in a Peanuts Holiday Clip

John Legend's new song, 'Get Ready', has its first public airing in a clip from the Peanuts holiday special 12 Days of Snoopy. The clip premiered exclusively on Rolling Stone on 4 November 2026, and the full special is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on 13 November.

The song was produced by Raphael Saadiq. In the clip, it plays under a scene in which Snoopy starts a snowball fight with Woodstock, his small yellow bird friend.

The special follows Snoopy, who has landed on Santa's naughty list. He has 12 days to change his standing. Each day of that countdown gives the story a new episode-sized challenge, and the holiday timing is built into the plot itself.

The soundtrack has more than one new artist on it. 12 Days of Snoopy will feature 'Trying to Get There' by Kamasi Washington and Leon Bridges, and Laufey has recorded a cover of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' for the special.

Legend's own track record is part of why the pairing is getting attention. Apple TV's announcement of its holiday lineup in September 2026 described him as an EGOT honoree, a title for artists who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Only a small group of performers have earned all four awards.

For a song, a TV placement like this is one of the ways new music reaches people who may not be following a release schedule. A clip on a family-friendly special can introduce a track to viewers of all ages in one sitting. The full special, and any release of 'Get Ready' outside it, will show how far the song travels beyond the clip.

Anyone looking for the song after 13 November can start with the special itself, and with the labels and platforms that announce music releases.
