We've been focusing on deals on physical products over the past few weeks, but Black Friday is also a great time of year to purchase a streaming membership. Some of the biggest services have great discounts for new and select returning members this week, including Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, and more.

Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN

Disney recently introduced a new promotion on its streaming service, offering a bundle of Disney+ (with ads), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN Unlimited for $29.99 per month for your first year. This offer represents a savings of over 44 percent on the bundle, and after your first year ends it will return to the then-current monthly price unless cancelled.



To get the deal, head to the promotion landing page on the Disney+ website and click on the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN Unlimited bundle option. This offer is valid only for new and eligible returning subscribers.

Additionally, you can save on the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN Unlimited Premium Bundle, which is the ad-free option for Disney+ and Hulu. This is priced at $38.99 per month for your first year, down from $44.99 per month.

Apple TV

Apple is offering an Apple TV promotion for new and returning subscribers for Black Friday this year. Eligible customers can get six months of Apple TV for just $5.99 per month.



After the six-month period, the subscription price will increase to $12.99, which is the regular price for the Apple TV service.

At $5.99 per month, Apple is discounting Apple TV by over 50 percent. The deal will be available through December 1 on the Apple TV website.

Existing subscribers are not eligible for the discount, nor are customers who have subscriptions billed through a third-party service.

It's also worth noting that you can get a bundle of Apple TV and Peacock Premium/Premium Plus at a discounted rate this season.

Audible

Audible's holiday deal takes the service down to only $0.99 per month for your first three months, plus $20 in Audible credit. This is more than 90 percent off the regular $14.95 monthly price of the service.



After the end of your first three months, the service will auto-renew at the then-current price, unless you cancel. This offer will end on December 1.

Amazon Music Unlimited

In another Amazon-related deal, the retailer is offering three months of its Amazon Music Unlimted streaming service for free. After the end of your first three months, the service will auto-renew at $11.99/month unless you cancel.



Amazon Music Unlimited offers 100 million songs ad-free, podcasts, Audible audiobooks, spatial audio, and more.

Paramount+

Paramount+ isn't directly offering any Black Friday discounts yet this year, but you can find a nice discount tied into Walmart+ and its rewards system. If you sign up for Walmart+ at its new discounted rate of $49.00 for your first year (regular $98/year), you'll find multiple streaming service discounts at your disposal.



One of these includes the option to activate a subscription to the Paramount+ Essential plan at no extra cost, so long as you have an active Walmart+ account. This is Paramount's ad-supported tier, and you can upgrade to Paramount+ Premium for an additional monthly or yearly fee.

Peacock

Similar to Paramount+, the best Peacock discount you can find this Black Friday season is bundled with Walmart+. If you take advantage of the 50 percent off Walmart+ offer, you'll gain access to Peacock Premium at no extra cost.



Peacock Premium is the ad-supported tier of the streaming service, and this does not include access to Peacock Premium Plus. It's also worth noting that Walmart+ members have the option to switch between Peacock and Paramount+ once every 90 days.

Waiting for the $2.99 deal for Hulu Disney :rolleyes:
There's no $2.99/mo Disney (with ads) & Hulu (with ads) bundle deal this year. Price went up to $4.99/mo for Black Friday 2025. I'm not renewing because of that.

HBO Max with ads is $2.99/mo though. I think I'll do that instead.

There's also 1 year of Paramount Plus with ads for $59.99 (works out to $4.99/mo) vs regular price of $7.99/mo

Confused on the savings for the Disney bundle. Maybe I didn’t get enough sleep.
Interesting how MR tries to get their readers to buy the more expensive $29.99/mo Disney+ (with ads), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN Unlimited bundle vs the better $4.99/mo Disney+ (with ads) and Hulu (with ads) bundle by not mentioning it.

Maybe MR gets a bigger percentage cut as an affiliate if readers get the $29.99/mo bundle?

These “deals” are all psychological. You pay more because the provider feels the content is worthwhile and the subscriber has little choice either don’t subscribe or buy in on the deal. Once you commit then you feel obligated to watch otherwise it doesn’t feel worthwhile. It’s a cyclical psychological inner debate.

The best way is to just not participate and enjoy other activities or bing if needed which usually ends up being more affordable but debatable if healthier.
 
Still haven't seen S2 of Andor, S2-3 of The Bear, and now that The Lowdown sounds good, that's enough to justify paying for one month Dis/Hu this winter.

Everyone is getting a cut, check out Rakuten if you prefer cash back.
 
Well I guess I’m skipping Hulu this year I don’t want the Disney or espn and I’m definitely not paying that much.
There is also other options like Pluto TV, Plex, Tubi, etc. The content may not be new but many classics are available for the holiday season for free and some with ads.

Glad i never cut the proverbial cable. I still have Direct TV and these streaming prices are getting crazy for what i consider stagnant content.

Peacock also has not yet released their deal.

I never had cable, many legitimate free options available, one has to curb their expectations.

Hulu has merged into Disney Plus to the point that they are deprecating the separate apps, but not sure how it's going to work.

"Disney just confirmed that it’s going all in on combining Hulu with Disney+. Starting in 2026, there will be a single Disney+ app that also has Hulu inside it. You’ll still be able to buy Hulu or Disney+ on their own, but the main focus will be on one big combined app."
