Even if you’re cutting back on holiday spending this year because money is tight, you probably still have a streaming service or two — or you’re thinking about gifting a sub to friends or family. 

Subscription services might not be the first thing you think of when someone says Black Friday sales, but many have some pretty good deals during the holidays. If you’re thinking about adding any of these services, or want to try some out and see if they’re worth the cost for your family, now’s a great time to do it. Here are some of the best deals on TV, movie, and music streaming services you can get right now.

HBO Max

The HBO Max logo featuring the words "HBO max" in bold, white and silver gradient letters on a dark, rounded square background.
HBO Max

Get HBO Max for only $2.99 per month for an entire year. It’s the cheapest tier they offer, so it does have ads, but for only $36 for a full year it’s hard to complain too much. “Game of Thrones” rewatch, here we come. Offer ends December 1. 

Starz

Want to see what all the Outlander fuss is about? Check out the whole series (so far!) on Starz for just $2.99 per month for three months. Or sign up for the annual plan for only $1 per month for a total of $12. That’s a pretty great deal.

AMC+

The AMC+ logo features the text "AMC" in lowercase blue-green letters followed by a white plus sign, all enclosed within a blue-green rectangular outline on a black background.
AMC+

If you subscribe to AMC+ through Amazon right now, you’ll only pay $1.75 per month for two months. If you love “The Walking Dead” or are a big fan or horror and slasher flicks, this is the subscription for you.

Disney+

The Disney+ logo in white text on a blue gradient background, with a curved line arching over the text and ending at a plus sign.
Disney+

Disney+ is offering a number of discounted packages for Black Friday because they bundle with Hulu and ESPN. You can get a basic Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads for $4.99 per month for a year, so it’s only $48 for as many Pixar movies as your kids want to watch. 

If sports are on in your house all the time, then the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle is probably on your Christmas list. Right now it’s $29.99 per month for a year, a savings of $6 each month.

Apple TV

Apple TV logo featuring a white apple icon with a bite taken out of it, next to the lowercase letters "tv," all on a rounded square black background.
Apple TV

Apple TV has some real bangers, from “Severance” to “Slow Horses,” and the crazy new “Pluribus” (seriously, it’s insane, watch it!). You can binge watch everything you’ve neglected for $5.99 per month for six months right now, which is half price. Offer ends December 1.

Spotify

The Spotify logo, featuring a white circle with three curved lines inside, next to the word "Spotify" in white text, is displayed on a bright green background.
Spotify

Streaming isn’t just for video, it’s for music too. Spotify is offering a great deal right now: free. Get four months for $0 for the premium tier of service, which is normally $11.99 per month. 

MGM+

The image displays the MGM+ logo with the text "MGM+" in bold, gold stylized letters on a solid black background.

MGM+ is a go-to for classic movie bingeing. If you subscribe through Amazon right now, you’ll get two months of streaming for $1.99 per month. That’s plenty of time to catch tons of movies over the holidays.

Paramount+

Paramount+ logo featuring a stylized mountain with a ring of stars above it, and the word "Paramount+" in cursive below, all in white on a blue background.
Paramount+

You can get Paramount+ for $2.99 per month for two months for the premium tier with no ads. The deal also applies to the lower tier with ads, but why would you want that?

Hallmark+

White "Hallmark" script with a crown above the "ll," followed by a plus sign, on a purple textured background.
Hallmark

Can’t get enough of Hallmark’s cheesy Christmas movies? Get your fill for cheap this December when you subscribe to Hallmark+ through Amazon. It’ll only be $2 per month for two months, which is plenty to get you through the holidays.
