Black Friday isn’t just about TVs and tablets anymore — it’s become the time to lock in cheaper streaming for the next few months (or even a full year). With prices creeping up all year, a good promo can save you real money while still giving you a ridiculous amount of stuff to watch.
Below is a Goatland-style roundup of the biggest U.S. Black Friday 2025 streaming deals: what they cost, how long they last, and who’s eligible.
Note: Most of these offers are for new or eligible returning subscribers and end around December 1, 2025. Always double-check the promo page before you sign up — terms can change fast.
Heavy Hitters: Best Core Streaming Deals
1. Disney+ & Hulu Bundle (With Ads)
- Deal: $4.99/month for 12 months (regularly $12.99/month)
- What you get: Disney+ (With Ads) + Hulu (With Ads) in one bundle.
- Who qualifies: New and “eligible returning” subscribers only. Existing Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, or bundle subscribers are excluded.
- End date: Offer runs through December 1, 2025. AppleInsider+2Disney++2
If you can tolerate ads, this is one of the best overall values of Black Friday — basically two huge libraries for the price of one.
2. Disney+ & Hulu Premium Bundle (No Ads)
- Deal: $14.99/month for 12 months (regularly $19.99/month)
- What you get: Disney+ (No Ads) + Hulu (No Ads) on most on-demand content.
- Who qualifies: Same “new or eligible returning subscribers only” rules as above. Hulu
If you hate commercials, this is the “pay more now, save more later” route.
3. Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN Unlimited Bundle
- Deal: $29.99/month for 12 months (ad-supported Hulu & Disney+, ESPN Unlimited)
- Why it’s wild: ESPN Unlimited alone normally costs the same $29.99/month — so you’re basically getting Disney+ and Hulu tossed in for free for a year. Business Insider
There’s also a Premium version with fewer ads in some content, discounted to $38.99/month for 12 months. Business Insider
4. Max (HBO Max) – With Ads
- Deal: $2.99/month for 12 months (Basic With Ads; regularly $10.99/month)
- What you get: HD streaming on up to two screens at once, full Max library with ads.
- Limitations: No 4K, no offline downloads — that’s reserved for higher tiers.
- End date: Promo runs through December 1, 2025. AppleInsider+1
If you want prestige TV (The Penguin, The Last of Us, etc.) without prestige pricing, this is your move.
5. Apple TV+
- Deal: $5.99/month for 6 months (regularly $12.99/month)
- Who qualifies: New and qualified returning subscribers (if you’ve been away awhile, you might be eligible).
- Savings: Over 50% off your first six months. AppleInsider+1
Perfect if you’ve been meaning to binge Ted Lasso, Severance, Slow Horses, or the newer Apple Originals without paying full freight. Also, for any MLS fans, you will no longer have to pay for an MLS package. The games are going to be available to all AppleTV+ subscribers.
6. Paramount+
- Deal: $2.99/month for your first 2 months (any plan)
- Who qualifies: New and former subscribers; current subs don’t qualify.
- After promo: Auto-renews at standard plan pricing (starting around $7.99/month). AppleInsider
Great for sampling Paramount+ Essentials or the ad-free plan while the price is basically “couch-change.”
7. Starz
Starz has a couple of ways to save, depending on how long you want to commit:
- Monthly deal (direct):
- $2.99/month for 3 months (regularly $10.99/month), or
- $23.99 for a full year (works out to about $2/month). Tom’s Guide
- Annual deal (via some retailers): First year for $11.99 (down from $69.99) has been reported in Black Friday roundups. Business Insider
If you’re into Outlander, the Power universe, or rotating big studio movies, this is one of the cheapest premium add-ons around.
Bundles & “Free with Something Else” Deals
8. Walmart+ with Paramount+ or Peacock
- Deal: Walmart+ annual membership for $49 (first year), plus you can attach either Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium and even switch between them every 90 days. AppleInsider
If you already do grocery delivery or shop Walmart a lot, this can stealth-replace a separate Paramount+ or Peacock bill.
9. ESPN Unlimited Bundles
As mentioned above, the Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN Unlimited bundle at $29.99/month is basically an ESPN Unlimited sub with two extra services stapled on. Business Insider
Sports fans who were about to pay full price for ESPN anyway might as well grab the bundle and call it a day.
Prime Video Channel Deals
If you live inside Prime Video, a bunch of Black Friday pricing is showing up as discounted “Channels” you can bolt onto your existing account. Highlights: Tom’s Guide
- Max (HBO) via Prime Video: $2.99/month for 12 months as an add-on.
- Apple TV+ via Prime Video: $5.99/month for 6 months as an add-on.
- Starz via Prime Video: Around $2.75–$2.99/month for the first 2–3 months, depending on the promo.
- MGM+ via Prime Video: About $1.99/month for 2 months.
- AMC+ via Prime Video: Deals around $1.75–$2.50/month for 2 months, depending on ad-free vs ad-supported.
- Crunchyroll (Mega Fan) via Prime Video: $2.99/month for 2 months.
- Hallmark Movies, BritBox, and more are also heavily discounted for the first couple of months.
These are great if you just want to speed-run a show (or three), cancel, and move on.
Super-Cheap & Niche Deals
10. Frndly TV
- Deal: $0.99/month for 3 months (regularly $6.99/month)
- What it is: 50+ live channels like Hallmark, Lifetime, History, A&E and more — very “comfort TV” / background viewing vibes. Tom’s Guide
If you just want cozy movies and cable-style channels without bloating your bill, this is quietly one of the cheapest promos of the season.
11. Plex Pass
Not exactly a streaming service like Netflix, but if you’re a media nerd:
- Deal:40% off Plex Pass (monthly, yearly, and lifetime).
- Lifetime drops from $249.99 to $149.99
- Annual from $69.99 to $41.99 (first year)
- Monthly from $6.99 to $4.19 (first month) AppleInsider
If you run your own media server or like the idea of building one, this is a rare discount.
How to Choose the Right Deal (Goatland Cheat Codes)
Instead of grabbing everything because “it’s on sale,” here’s a simple way to pick:
- Pick your “anchor” services.
- If you love franchises and comfort rewatches → Disney+ & Hulu bundle.
- If you want prestige drama & big movies → Max.
- If you’re curious about Apple’s originals → Apple TV+ for 6 months is perfect for a binge window.
- Use bundles instead of stacking full-price subs.
- Disney/Hulu/ESPN Unlimited is cheaper than paying full price for ESPN + one or two other services separately. Business Insider
- Treat Prime Video channels like “mini-seasons.”
- Grab Starz, AMC+, MGM+, Crunchyroll, etc. for 1–2 months at the sale price, binge hard, then cancel. Tom’s Guide
- Set calendar reminders.
- Promo periods end fast, and everything auto-renews at full price. Add a reminder a few days before each one rolls off so you can decide whether to keep or cancel.
- Don’t forget real life.
- If you’re not going to actually watch it in the next couple of months, even $2.99/month is wasted money. Build a small “watchlist plan” and graze responsibly.
Final Thoughts
Black Friday 2025 is one of the best windows we’ve had in a while to reset your streaming setup. You can:
- Lock in a full year of Disney+ and Hulu for under $5/month.
- Stack Max and Apple TV+ at steep discounts for prestige TV season.
- Use Prime Video channel deals to do short, focused binges on Starz, AMC+, MGM+, Crunchyroll, and more.
However you build your mix, treat these deals like a chance to optimize rather than just hoard subscriptions. Pick your core services, rotate the rest, and let Black Friday do some of the financial heavy lifting while you kick back and enjoy the content.
