As the holiday season approaches, major streaming platforms are unveiling Black Friday promotions designed to attract new subscribers. Disney is leading the charge with a compelling offer of a bundle that includes Disney+ and Hulu for just $4.99 per month for the first year, marking a significant reduction from the usual price of $12.99. This deal is currently available to viewers of Good Morning America on ABC, who can register at disneyplus.com/GMA until Tuesday, and is also accessible to new and returning eligible subscribers through the Disney+ website.
It’s important to note that the Black Friday deal from Disney is not available to existing subscribers of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select, or ESPN Unlimited, including those who access the services through third-party providers like Charter Communications’ Spectrum.
In the same festive spirit, HBO Max is offering its Basic with Ads subscription for an enticing $2.99 per month for new and returning subscribers, a massive 70% discount from its regular price of $10.99. This promotion is applicable until December 1 and can be claimed via various platforms including HBOMax.com, Apple, Google Play, and Roku.
Walmart+ is also making waves with its offer, providing a year’s membership at $49, which includes complimentary access to the Premium tier of Peacock. Similarly, Paramount+ is reducing the cost of its annual plan from $59.99 by 50%, continuing the trend of significant savings for consumers.
Starz, one of the few streaming services to maintain an ad-free experience, is presenting two attractive Black Friday options: a promotional rate of $3 per month for the first three months, and a full annual subscription at $11.99, averaging out to about $1 per month.
Fox One is joining the fray with its own Black Friday deals, featuring a 50% discount on the first two months of subscription and 25% off for the first year. Early access to these discounts is available for viewers of the company’s free service, Tubi, as the promotions kick off on Thanksgiving Day—timed perfectly with a high-profile NFL game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.
These deals showcase the competitive landscape of streaming services as they aim to capture viewer interest during the bustling holiday season. With many substantial discounts available, consumers are in a prime position to explore new content offerings at reduced prices, paving the way for a season filled with entertainment and family time.
