Read our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a record-low price of $749 for Black Friday this year and this deal is sticking around post Black Friday. This is our favorite laptop for students, thanks to its M4 silicon and slim design. This markdown is so good that even if it does happen to drop lower for Cyber Monday (and we're not counting on it), you still score a great deal without waiting for shopping chaos next week.

Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2).

The Bose QC Ultra headphones and earbuds have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. The new second-generation versions are out, and we love them even more than the original flavor. However, while the new headphones are pricey (even when they're on sale), the new Bose earbuds have been marked down to $216, which is a lot more reasonable, though not their lowest price ever. These earbuds are supremely comfortable and feature elite active noise cancellation

What's not to like about a $79.99 Kindle? Currently 27% off at Amazon, this Mashable-tested e-reader is at its all-time low price. We're big fans of Kindles, and the base Kindle is a good choice for holiday gift giving. It has ample storage and a slim, lightweight design.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $229.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

SharkNinja also showed up to the Black Friday party by offering really excellent free extras. Buying the Ninja Slushi directly from Ninja for $269.99 will give you a free travel tote worth $50.

In our Apple Watch Series 11 review, we noted that it's largely the same as the previous-gen Series 10, but with one notable improvement: The battery life is much better. With the newest model, you're far more likely to get a full day's charge, as we did in our testing. And with watchOS 26 and Liquid Glass, the Apple Watch looks better than ever.

"The past two years, HBO Max offered just six months of streaming for $2.99 per month. So not only did it double the length of the discount in 2025, but with the price hike, you'll actually be saving even more." — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

It's no surprise that some of the best Black Friday deals of 2025 that are still around come from Amazon, which officially kicked off its sale on Nov. 20.

Amazon is also a great place to stock up on Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, and deals under $25.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Black Friday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.

This year has been a doozy when it comes to the cost of simply existing. Shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is a smart move if you're trying to save some money this year. In all fairness, the Black Friday sales have blown us away with just how good they are. Not to mention, they haven't fizzled out just because Black Friday is officially over.

But if you're not impressed with a measly 20% off sale, maybe a 50% off sale will do the trick. Somehow, we're still seeing these epic deals across tons of categories like kitchen appliances, Lego sets, headphones, and more. Stuff you actually want for yourself or to give as gifts this holiday season might very well be half off right now.

As a journalist, I'm better at words than I am with numbers, so I'm cheating a bit here, and I've included deals that are 47% off or more. I understand that doesn't qualify as a full half-off, but a few deals that hover at 47% or 48% were just too good to disqualify.

If you're hoping to snag a super great deal before Cyber Monday, here's a curated list of some excellent deals that'll save you (about) 50%.

If you're searching for a holiday gift that's likely to be a hit for almost anyone, an ice cream maker is a great bet. The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine is a workhorse of a kitchen appliance that'll allow you to become your own ice cream artist — or you can also go the sorbet or frozen yogurt route. In any case, snagging this model at Amazon will save you a sweet 48% compared to the list price of $129.95. Plus, if you gift this ice cream maker over the holidays, you're in line for a VIP invite to the summer ice cream social.

"In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month)." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

It's on sale for the same price as the smaller model, the Blueair ComfortPure 3-in-1 (T10i), which is only designed for rooms that reach up to 840 square feet.

This is cheating a bit because we're looking at a 47% discount, but snagging a pair of Apple AirPods 4 for just $69 is one of the standout Black Friday deals this year. At this price, grab a pair for yourself, another pair for when one earbud goes into the washing machine, and one more to give as the best stocking stuffer of the year.

Black Friday is wrapping up, but that doesn't mean we've taken our foot off the gas. In fact, we're charging forward to Cyber Monday.

Since Black Friday has technically passed, many retailers, including Amazon, are now shifting their attention to Cyber Monday. This is great news for you, as it means you have a little extra time to shop online if you didn't get to it yesterday. Basically, if you see a product marked as a 'Cyber Monday deal,' it's likely to stay on sale through Dec. 1.

We're seeing a bunch of epic deals on some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025. Amazon even brought back its 1-cent Haul deals.

The majority of Amazon's deals are record-low prices, but be warned, deals are selling out and increasing in price. Overnight, the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC rose to $139.99 from $109.99. To track last-minute Black Friday prices, plug a product URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon for finding the lowest prices at Amazon.

The last-minute Black Friday and early Cyber Monday deals are live, and you don't have time to waste. We'll be updating this page with new Amazon deals as they drop, so keep checking back through the end of Cyber Weekend. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart to make sure you're getting the best deal (we curate our lists to only include deals that are the actual best ones across retailers). If you don't feel like scrolling through all of that, you can keep up with the best deals across the internet with our live deals tracker or get them texted straight to your phone.

$129 Save $60   Get Deal Why we like it

We've been waiting for this one: During Black Friday, the base model AirPods 4 hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon, and the price is holding strong as we head into Cyber Monday. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. But word of caution, we've seen the price on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC go up and up, so if you see the AirPods 4 without ANC at $69, grab them before they're gone.

We've never seen the Legos Insect Collection at this low price before, which makes it a fun post-Black Friday deal to snatch up this weekend. It includes three stunning insects that are actually life-sized. It's a 1,111-piece designed for older Lego builders.

Down at a record-low price, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is Mashable's favorite Kindle. It can get up to 12 weeks of battery life before you'll need to recharge, and the 16GB storage gives plenty of room for downloaded books. Gift it to the reader in your life or snag one for yourself to stay entertained during holiday travel. It's also fully waterproof, so you can take it along to the pool or on your tropical winter vacation.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money. But this is selling out fast as we head into Cyber Monday, as every color besides Black has sold out.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's lingering Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low, and as we head into Cyber Weekend, it's maintaining that low price.

If you're looking for the most comfortable noise-cancelling headphones on the market, you want the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and right now, they're on sale for $299. Since we spend plenty of the day listening to music, podcasts, or streaming YouTube, there's good reason to invest in a super comfortable pair. Of course, they'll make for a special gift this holiday season, or consider it a gift of self-care to get yourself through holiday travel. But this deal is selling fast through Cyber Weekend, as the $299 price is only available on the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones in deep plum.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. The SE 3 is the first SE model to come with an always-on display. Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch." All of that now comes in at under $200 thanks to this Black Friday sale at Amazon.

Amazon has matched Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025." It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $697.99, this lingering Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

$1,599.99 Save $600   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

This Black Friday season marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone is looking to buy this Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)

At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $269.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $229.99 at Walmart. $40 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

If there's one thing Mashable readers love buying on Black Friday, it’s the LifeStraw. It’s a staple of every major sales event, and for good reason. Right now, it’s back down to its Prime Day price of $9.99, which is typically the lowest it goes all year (it's usually around $20). Even if you aren't an avid hiker, this is a must-have for your home emergency kit or bug-out bag. It filters out 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, so you can drink directly from a stream (or a sketchy tap) safely. At $10, it’s the ultimate practical stocking stuffer.

For Black Friday — the best time of year to sign up for streaming services — Amazon is offering tons of add-on subscription deals for Prime members (or Prime Video subscribers). Our favorite one? The Apple TV+ add-on for just $5.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month, that's $42 in savings. Apple TV+ is where you'll find the most-talked-about show of the year so far, Pluribus. If you don't want to get left behind by the zeitgeist, then you'll need an Apple TV subscription. The savings are only live through Cyber Monday on Dec. 1, so don't drag your feet.

The 20+ best Black Friday Lego deals still live: Save big on Star Wars, Botanicals, Disney, and more

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 02:01

Black Friday wouldn't be Black Friday without deals on toys, and Legos on sale are an absolutely crucial building block of Black Friday toy deals. 2025 has already seen a strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals, and you might break a sweat trying to keep tabs on which retailers have which set — unless you're reading Mashable's daily curated list of the best Lego deals from across the internet.

Lego sets we've seen on sale so far include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Wicked Lego sets, Lego Botanicals, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.

We've gathered the very best Black Friday Lego deals spotted at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and the Lego website ahead of Cyber Monday (as of Nov. 29). We'll keep this page updated with everything that drops (or sells out) throughout Cyber Monday and beyond.

The adorable Grogu with Hover Pram set is expectedly sold out after an incredible 50% discount. But that was hardly Amazon's only good Lego Star Wars deal. While it's not nearly as massive as the now-retired Imperial Star Destroyer that goes for $1,000 on eBay, the smaller Imperial Star Destroyer set is still 18 inches long and still in mega demand — and now at a record-low price as an Amazon Cyber Monday deal. Mini figures include Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, Imperial Navy Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and the one that has fans in a spiral: the ultra-rare Cal Kestis mini fig.

This set is a surprisingly calming build that makes a perfect desk centerpiece. At over 1,300 pieces, $69.99 is a pretty good price-to-piece ratio for this kind of complex adult-focused model. It features fun details like a tiered fountain and tiny tiled pathways.

Lego's official Black Friday sale is now running through Cyber Weekend. Plus, spending unlocks free Lego sets that can't be purchased separately: Spend $170 to get the Lego Hot Chocolate Stand (40776) or spend $250 to get the Lego Mini Knight's Castle (40775). Make sure you're a Lego Insiders member (it's free!) to get access to any exclusive promos and redeemable loyalty points.

This cute Target-exclusive Lego Botanicals duo is $6 cheaper than when we first saw it on sale on Nov. 18. Now, you'll get both the Lego Mini Orchid and the Lego Lucky Bamboo sets together for $41.99 (a 30% discount). They'd make a relaxing office or windowsill decoration for any plant lover.

Target's official Black Friday sale started on Nov. 23, and with it came several new Lego deals we hadn't seen the week prior. A few of our favorite early Black Friday Lego deals at Target sold out quickly, so if you see a must-have on sale, this may be your last chance to grab it!

Best Buy's Black Friday sale doesn't have as many good Lego deals as other retailers, but Best Buy should be dropping more deals throughout the weekend.

If you're still side-eyeing the whole "TikTok Shop" thing, I totally get it. It can feel a little sketch, and you're not always sure where most of the stuff is actually coming from. But I'm here to tell you, some of what's on there is actually legit, and TikTok is offering a new incentive that might make you reconsider.

And, to make buying gifts early less stressful, TikTok is extending its standard 30-day return window. Any eligible purchase made between now and Dec. 31 can be returned through Feb. 10, 2026. This gives you plenty of time to wrap, gift, and know you're covered if a product arrives damaged, defective, or not as described. Not sure what to get? TikTok Shop gift cards are also available for purchase (because of course they are).

If you're not quite ready to divulge your credit card info to TikTok, there are tons of "TikTok products" on Amazon. Here's a shortlist to give you some ideas:

Earn aura points by supporting small businesses this Cyber Weekend: Shop these deals at Amazon and Etsy

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 01:13
A quick look at some small business deals to shop for Cyber Weekend Take Off Luggage carry-on suitcase with removable wheels $79.20 (save $40.79 at Amazon) Get Deal Undefined Beauty skincare starting at $15.79 (save up to 25% at Amazon) Get Deal Sweet Water Decor soy blend candle $15.79 (save $4.20 at Amazon) Get Deal Etsy Cyber Sale Save up to 60% Shop Now

From a financial standpoint, it feels so good to save a ton of money during Black Friday weekend. Whether it's clothes, your dream headphones, or a boring stockpile of cleaning products and toilet paper, it's valid to take advantage of cheaper stuff in this more-expensive-than-usual economy.

From a moral standpoint, in that same greedy economy, it doesn't feel so good to give your money to big corporations that definitely don't need it. The antidote? Supporting small businesses while you're at it this Black Friday season. So many of them are having major sales, whether it's for Small Business Saturday (which falls on the Saturday right after Black Friday) or throughout all of Cyber Weekend. Whether you peruse the Black Friday deals from small businesses on Amazon or take a scroll through the massive Etsy Cyber Sale, thoughtful spending is something we should all be sure to do this year.

There's no guilting here for treating yourself to a new TV on sale or whatever your version of a creature comfort is — taking advantage of Black Friday deals is an inarguably strategic move (we're quite literally deals hunters by profession). But we'd also like to highlight some awesome small business sales on items that might just have been on your shopping list anyway.

Small business deals at AmazonTake Off Luggage Opens in a new window Credit: Take Off Take Off Luggage Underseat Carry-On with removable wheel $79.20 at Amazon

Flying Spirit or Frontier sounds like a great idea when paying for the plane tickets until the carry-on drama starts at the gate — and suddenly, you're forking over the money you saved because your backpack is "too big." Take Off Luggage could come to the rescue: These viral suitcases have removable wheels that make the typical overhead suitcase capable of fitting under a seat like a personal item.

Undefined Beauty skincare Opens in a new window Credit: Undefined Beauty Undefined Beauty skincare Save up to 28% on cleansers, serums, lip tints, and more Get Deal

The "Our Story" section on Undefined Beauty's website says it all: "We all deserve access to high-quality products that don't cost your firstborn child. Wellness shouldn't be exclusive. Let's democratize it."

If Ulta Black Friday deals still aren't exactly screaming affordable, Undefined Beauty skincare has serious budget-friendly options that don't skimp on cute packaging — or the ingredients that actually work on skin. Shop deals on a Niacinimide gel cleanser, night serums, SPF glow oils, lip tints, and more up to 25% off, each item in the collection now under $20. I'll personally be grabbing the scalp serum.

Sweet Water Decor soy candles Opens in a new window Credit: Sweet Water Decor Sweet Water Decor soy wax blend candle $15.79 at Amazon
$19.99 Save $4.20   Get Deal

I know from personal experience how hard it is not to buy 10 Yankee candles any time they're on sale (Yankee Candle is literally running a buy two, get three free deal right now). But it's pretty common knowledge nowadays that most mainstream candles use paraffin wax, and that burning paraffin wax releases toxic chemicals into the air that you and your pets shouldn't be breathing. Instead, consider buying a yummy scented candle from a small business like Sweet Water Decor. These hand-poured soy wax candles skip the toxins while still preserving cozy smells.

Black Friday sale prices are still sticking around, and we're seeing tons of kitchen deals this year. Ninja is really the star of the Black Friday kitchen deals, with its buzziest appliances, like the Creami, Slushi, and Crispi, all on sale.

Here's how I encrypt my Windows PC without BitLocker

How-To Geek - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 00:00

BitLocker is the most common way to encrypt your Windows PC to protect it against data theft in the event that someone steals your PC, but it isn't the only option.

4 New dark patterns added to Windows 11 in 2025

How-To Geek - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 00:00

Another year, another long list of changes to Windows that "nudge" you into making choices or adopting behaviors that aren't in your interest. At some point, it really feels like Windows stopped existing to make the actual users of PCs happier, and now serve a different master. I think these changes are the most worrying.

The end of the year is one of the best times to find Apple products on sale. Normally, this MacBook Air would cost $999, but right now, it’s only $169.97, and shipping is even free. Take a look at what it can do.

This MacBook Air is a simple, lightweight laptop that handles the basics without any fuss. The 13.3-inch display is comfortable to look at, and the 1440×900 resolution is solid for writing, browsing, streaming, or juggling a few tabs at once. The 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 has enough power for everyday work, and the 8GB of RAM helps keep things smooth when you switch between apps.

The 128GB SSD loads your files and programs quickly and feels much snappier than older hard drives. It’s plenty of space for documents and day-to-day use, and you can always lean on cloud storage if you need extra room. Wi-Fi handles your regular browsing and streaming, and Bluetooth makes it easy to connect wireless headphones or move a file from your phone.

Battery life is one of the nicer things about this model. You can get up to 12 hours on a charge, which makes it useful for classes, travel, or anyone who moves around during the day and doesn’t want to stay near an outlet.

Since it’s refurbished, the price comes way down while the general feel of the Air stays the same. A Grade A/B rating means the laptop might show light wear, but performance isn’t affected. It also comes with a MagSafe charger and can update to macOS Monterey, so it still works with a wide range of current apps.

Right now, you can get a MacBook Air on sale for only $169.97. Sale ends Dec. 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

I’m already making my holiday dessert list, and if you’re looking for a fun new kitchen gadget that’s definitely worth the space, this is it. The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine (ICE-30BCP1) is a Mashable fave — our tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, says his mom's been using the 1.5-quart version of this machine for years and "it's awesome" — and it's currently on sale for nearly half the price at Amazon's Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.

SEE ALSO: Are Amazon's Cyber Monday prices better than Black Friday? Our shopping experts say the answer is clear.

As of Nov. 29, the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine is on sale for $67.94, down from $129.95, at Amazon. That's a 48% discount and $62.01 of savings on a machine that'll make ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, sherbet, and frozen drinks in under 30 minutes. (I know, that's wild compared to the Ninja CREAMi's 24-hour wait time.) "I highly recommend finding a good chocolate malt recipe and making a pint with your mom," says Werth.

What’s great about this fully automatic machine is the double-insulated freezer bowl, which holds a generous two quarts of your favorite frozen dessert. Plus, it’s built for convenience with a large ingredient spout for adding mix-ins and a retractable cord storage system to keep your counters clean.

Streaming just got cheaper: Black Friday deals still live on Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney+, and more

Mashable - Sat, 11/29/2025 - 23:24

Black Friday may technically be over, but the best streaming deals are still going strong. Over the holiday weekend, we'll be hard at work bringing you the top Black Friday deals that are still live. And as we approach Cyber Monday, we'll let you know if any new offers appear.

The best Black Friday streaming deals at a glance: Best overall HBO Max Basic with ads $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Best Bundle deal Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) $4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal BEST Apple TV deal Apple TV+ $5.99/month for 6 months (save $42) Get Deal Best Free Streaming Deal Walmart+ members get Peacock or Paramount+ free $49/year for your first year of Walmart+ (save $49 + get a free year of streaming) Get Deal Best Music Streaming Deal Spotify Premium Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Paramount+ $2.99/month for first two months (save $20) Get Deal Best for movies The Criterion Channel $74.99/year (save $25 with code BLACKFRIDAY25) Get Deal Best Prime Video add-on deal MGM+ and AMC+ bundle (Prime Video add-on) $3.25/month for 2 months (save $9.74/month) Get Deal Best sports streaming deal NFL Sunday Ticket for the rest of the season $48/year (save $102) Get Deal Best streaming stick deal Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K $19 (Save $20.99) Get Deal

It's been a tough year to be a streaming binge-watcher. Nearly every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So, needless to say, we were extra excited about this year's selection of Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, right? The good news is that even with Black Friday itself done and dusted, the deals are still available as we head into Cyber Monday.

The Black Friday sale event is well known as the best time to sign up for streaming services, thanks to serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. This year has been no different. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, there's still time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.

SEE ALSO: 160+ Amazon Black Friday deals: Find record-low prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and LG TVs

Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu have all thrown their hats in the ring with discounts, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can weigh all of your streaming options for the season. Plus, you still have time to sign up. Most of these offers will be live through Dec. 1.

There are two glaring omissions from this year's Black Friday streaming offers: Netflix and Peacock. Netflix never offers deals, so this comes as no surprise. Peacock, on the other hand, typically offers one of the best Black Friday streaming deals. It's extra disappointing, as the streamer had one of the biggest price hikes in 2025. We included a way you can still get a deal on Peacock below, despite its lack of Cyber Week participation.

One thing to note: Most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven't been a subscriber in at least a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.

Best Black Friday streaming deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).

The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video or Hulu add-on.

Best Black Friday streaming bundle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) $4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

While we're pretty disappointed that Hulu didn't resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this bundle deal almost makes up for it. Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that's $8 per month in savings or $96 total.

We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It's also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we'll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu deal for Cyber Monday.

Best Apple TV+ Black Friday deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple TV+ (Prime Video add-on) $5.99/month for 6 months (save $42) Get Deal Why we like it

Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back, from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. You can take advantage of this deal directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.

Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You'll get more than your money's worth with this Black Friday deal. Just don't drag your feet — it's only around until Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.

Best Black Friday live TV streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Sling Sling Orange Day Pass $1
$4.99 Save $3.99   Get Deal Why we like it

Sling's Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It's usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday, Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you'll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.

Best Black Friday music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Spotify Spotify Premium Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

It's not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can get three free months). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free. Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can score four free months of Spotify Premium, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.

With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy lossless audio. You'll also gain access to the famous Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.

Best free streaming deal for Black Friday Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Free Peacock or Paramount+ with Walmart+ $49 at Walmart
$98 Save $49   Get Deal Why we like it

If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, then you'll unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you'll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you'll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you're not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we're still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.

Best Black Friday streaming deal with no ads Opens in a new window Credit: Starz Starz annual subscription $11.99/year for your first year (save $58) Get Deal Why we like it

While most of the best streaming deals are on ad-supported tiers, the Starz $12/year deal is completely ad-free. Usually $69.99 per year, this Black Friday deal drops the price down to just $11.99 per year for your first year. That's $58 in savings. There's no end date listed for the deal, but we'd suggest signing up ASAP to lock down the savings. Starz is one of the only streamers that regularly offers deals, but this is by far the best we've seen. It may not be the most popular streaming service, but it's packed with plenty of great content, including originals like the historical drama Outlander and the female serial killer tale Sweetpea, and movies like From the World of John Wick: Ballerina and The Long Walk (coming soon).

Best streaming stick deal Opens in a new window Credit: Roku Roku Streaming Stick Plus $19
$39.99 Save $20.99   Get Deal Why we like it

There are a lot of Amazon Fire TV Sticks on sale this Black Friday but the better savings are on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Roku beats Amazon's competing model by $0.99, but it's also just a better device. When we put the Amazon Fire TV Stick head-to-head with the Roku, the Roku was the clear winner for its easy navigation, brilliant picture quality, and buffer-free streaming. Grab a Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, saving you 52% off this Black Friday.

Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy get a lot of attention for their annual Black Friday sales, but we're here to put some respect on the Home Depot's name. Just like last year, the Home Depot is giving away free cordless tools with eligible purchases in an epic BOGO promotion. As part of this buy-one-get-one sale, you can pick up a cordless drill, an extra battery and charger pack, a cordless leaf blower, a circular saw, and tons more tools with your purchase. The extra tool is absolutely free with an eligible purchase.

All you have to do is pick out a qualifying "main item" and the free tool of your choice will be included in your order. A ton of top-rated Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee products are available as freebies in this promotion. Here's an example of how it works: Add an item like the Milwaukee Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit to your cart, and then you'll be able to select a free gift with purchase.

An impact wrench is a clutch tool to have on hand for a variety of DIY jobs around the house (from assembling furniture to building a whole-ass patio) to car repairs. This well-reviewed model from DeWalt is sporting a 55% discount at Home Depot — one of the heftiest price drops you'll see on a power tool this Black Friday — and it comes with a free tool of your choice.

Black Friday deals on cordless tools are just as valuable to the average non-handy person as they are to DIY experts. Just imagine being able to mount your new TV on the wall without begging a friend with a drill to come over. Or being able to assemble a new piece of furniture with an Allen wrench drill bit instead of twisting the entire thing by hand.

Black Friday has already come and gone, but Cyber Monday is right around the corner. Most retailers have continued dropping deals here and there on a wide variety of products, with Best Buy and Amazon leading the charge at this stage. That includes some of the most popular TVs from the biggest brands.

In particular, some of Samsung's The Frame TVs have dropped to seriously low prices. If you're unfamiliar with these TVs, they double as an art display when you're not watching, so you can throw up some nice artwork or photos to display when the TV isn't being used.

If you're not looking to splash out on a massive TV ahead of the holidays, the 55-inch Samsung The Frame is a nice size to work with. And this discount is absolutely worth taking advantage of. Best Buy has slashed $700 off this model, making for almost 50% off its list price (46.7%, to be exact).

Down to $799.99, this TV will set you up with a 4K resolution, QLED display to catch all of your favorite shows and films in crisp, colorful quality. And for when it's not being used, it can display some lovely art, such as some pieces from New York's Museum of Modern Art.

It's worth noting that this TV is being sold by Walts TV. We generally don't recommend shopping with third-party sellers, so buyer beware. Check reviews and make your decision carefully.

This display is a Neo QLED TV, which Mashable's Leah Stodart described in her CES 2025 coverage as, "Samsung's term of endearment for mini LED, which offer more precise lighting due to their ability to be individually controlled, and the fact that there are more of them (compared to larger LED bulbs)." It also comes with Samsung's Vision AI and Pantone Validated Artful Color. To learn more, check out our breakdown of what to know about Samsung's The Frame Pro from when it was released.
