Black Friday is no longer just a day; it's a season. While the day after Thanksgiving once marked the start of the holiday shopping schedule, it's now just the peak of a month-long deals extravaganza. Retailers kick things off as early as Halloween and keep the deals coming all the way through Cyber Monday. It's a lot.

Going into the chaos of Black Friday without a game plan is risky — and a great way to end up with buyer's remorse. If you're unsure of what exactly you're looking for this season, you might want to take a glimpse at all of the major retailers' ad scans to get an idea of what's popular, what's getting discounted, and when the best time is to buy certain items. We recommend checking out our gift guides for inspiration as well. And while planning your Black Friday attack, be sure to set a budget to prevent overspending.

Knowing what you're looking for is only the first step. Shopping like a well-oiled machine is where things get tough, but we've got you covered with our top hacks for securing the best deals on Black Friday 2026 (and beyond). With an overall hunger for savings amidst RAMageddon price increases, we're going to let you in on some of our secrets.

Here are some of our best tips for shopping during Black Friday 2026.

1. Utilize wishlists to track price drops

It's easy to get click-happy when you see all of the sparkly discounts in front of you. Do yourself (and your budget) a favor and utilize the wishlist feature on each retailer's website you plan on shopping. Every product page has an "add to list" button, so you can start adding all of your must-have products into one central place well before the big day. Not only will this help keep you more organized and less click-happy, but it's also one of the easiest ways to track price drops on your top items and seamlessly scoop them up before they're gone. Amazon's wishlist feature is particularly clutch, as it lets you rank items based on priority, add notes, and compare the current price to when you added it to the list.

We all know millennials like to make big purchases on their desktops, but it's not a bad idea to download the mobile apps from major retailers for Black Friday — particularly Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon. They'll be plastering their biggest deals across the screen, making things organized and easy to navigate even on a bumpy commute or at a loud relative's house. The apps will also give you access to exclusive app-only perks, like wishlist alerts, personalized suggestions, scan-and-go features, and more. The Amazon app will even show you deals on recent items you've searched. It's like it knows you too well.

3. Verify a product's MSRP on the brand's website

Before you spend your hard-earned cash, make sure you aren't being duped into thinking a discount is better than it is. How? Cross-check the product listing with the actual manufacturer's website. If you can't find the exact product on the brand's website, you can also cross-check the price with competing retailers. We've seen product list prices fluctuate on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, which can either make discounts appear better than they are or downplay how good a deal actually is. A good rule of thumb is to just verify it for yourself.

This Anker Solix power station below is a great example. While Amazon lists the MSRP at $1,199, highlighting a 43 percent discount, a quick search on Anker's website shows the MSRP for the same power station is actually $999.99. While the sale price is the same on both websites, the discount isn't quite as good as it appears on first glance.

We'll let you in on a little secret. Our secret weapon during major sales (particularly at Amazon) is the free price-tracking tool CamelCamelCamel.

This genius tool lets you see the historical data on the sale prices for a particular item. At a glance, it gives you an idea of how good that deal is (or isn't). You just plug a product's Amazon listing into the search bar or use the Camelizer browser extension to get instant insight into the product's price history over the last weeks, months, or even years. Even if you're shopping elsewhere, you can get an idea of a product's price history before purchasing.

Walmart offers a similar tool called Camelmart, if you prefer to shop there or want to compare prices.

Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are all home to thousands of third-party sellers, which can be both a gift and a curse. Many of these third-party sellers are perfectly legit; some are even operated directly from brands themselves. However, there are also some sellers with not-so-great reviews, which is why Mashable tries to recommend products shipped and sold directly from Amazon, Walmart, Target, or Best Buy whenever possible.

For example, Samsung recently raised prices on its Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphones, but these phones are listed with discounts at Amazon. However, when you check the "Sold by" section, you'll see the seller is actually an entity called ReNew Pros (We Record Serial Numbers). Most shoppers probably don't even realize they're not buying directly from Amazon. This seller only has a 76% positive customer rating at Amazon, which is useful information if you're considering a purchase.

You can check the shipper/seller on each product page, though the text can be easy to miss. On Amazon, look under the "Buy Now" button or search the page for the phrases "Ships from" or "Sold by" to see the actual seller. On Walmart, it lives under the shipping options, and on Best Buy, it lives directly under the product listing. Target will only list the shipper/seller if it's a third-party.

6. Follow Mashable's shopping experts' Black Friday coverage

Mashable's Black Friday page is the hub for pretty much every Black Friday sale that matters, with links to all of our coverage, including spotlight deals broken down by retailer (Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, etc.), as well as by categories like TVs, robot vacuums, Amazon devices, or kitchen appliances. This will save you from wasting time skimming websites on your own and getting overwhelmed. If there's a great deal you need to know about, we've got you.

We'll be updating these lists regularly before, during, and after the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shenanigans, so check back for all the latest and greatest deals that drop. Stores also love to throw in sneaky coupon codes or freebies. These can be easy to miss when you're in a hurry to order, so we'll let you know when we spot one.

If you'd rather not be glued to the internet this season, you can also sign up for the Mashable Deals newsletter to stay in the loop via email or text.

Take advantage of Alexa's exclusive features

If you own a newer Echo smart speaker, you can take advantage of exclusive features. Open up your Alexa mobile app and turn on the advanced deal alerts feature (you'll find it under More > Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping), then check the Deal Recommendations and Shopping Recommendations. If you already have a wishlist organized and ready to go, you'll get a pop-up alert or a yellow ring light on your Echo speaker whenever Alexa finds out about an upcoming deal on one of the items on your list. Alexa will even let you know if an item on your wishlist is going on sale up to 24 hours before the sale goes live, so you can plan accordingly.

Amazon has also put work into its Alexa for Shopping feature this past year, so don't be afraid to utilize it. The tool is available on the app, desktop website, and Echo Show devices and combines Amazon's AI assistant Rufus with Alexa+. It's like having a personalized AI co-pilot assisting you with any questions you may have during your shopping experience. You can ask it direct questions about product features, view up to a full year of price history for specific items, or even have it set alerts to notify you of discounts.

To paraphrase the great Dr. Peter Venkman, most people probably think about running two GPUs from different manufacturers at the same time, on the same computer as "... dogs and cats living together ... MASS HYSTERIA!"

TL;DR: Ahead of Black Friday, the Bambu Lab P1S Combo is $479 at Amazon, down from $549. That’s $70 off, or about 13% in savings. The bundle includes the P1S printer and an automatic material system (AMS); the standalone P1S does not include the AMS.

Right now, Amazon has the Bambu Lab P1S Combo for $479, down from $549. That’s $70 in savings, or about 13% off, ahead of Black Friday. The bundle includes the same printer sold in the standalone P1S listing, plus Bambu Lab’s AMS, which automatically feeds and switches compatible filament. The included system has four filament slots, letting you print with up to four colors without manually swapping spools between color changes.

Both versions have an enclosed design, automatic bed leveling, and a 256-by-256-by-256-millimeter build volume, with advertised printing speeds up to 500 millimeters per second. You can also browse the MakerWorld model library to get your creative juices flowing. The main thing you have to decide is whether you want multicolor printing (the Combo includes it, whereas the standalone doesn't).

Plus, the chip’s built-in NPU can help tackle background AI tasks you may want or need to run so that your CPU and GPU can do the heavy lifting for gaming. It also boasts a 2TB SSD, which is more than enough storage space for you to keep a modest game library installed instead of juggling downloads every time a 150GB title shows up.

It pairs an Intel 24-core Core Ultra 9 275HX with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU and 16GB of GDDR7 memory for a powerful combination.

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 offers a zippy AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX with 16 cores and 32 threads that boosts to 5.4GHz. That's more CPU power than most gaming laptops at this size usually offer, so you're getting a hefty amount of gaming power in a portable packge. Its NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 makes it a powerful contender as well, with a 1920 x 1200 panel at 165Hz with a 3ms response time to cut down on lag time. It has a 1TB SSD for a respectable amount of storage, and a per-key RGB keyboard that you can customize to your liking.

I got tired of my Apple TV not turning my TV on through CEC, and I really didn’t want to connect my TCL Fire TV to the internet. So, I decided to take things back a few decades and use an IR emitter in a new way—through Home Assistant. Now that Home Assistant has better infrared support, all it took was a $10 ESP32 board and a few small components, and my TV was smart without any internet access required.

After rolling out tests last year, Netflix announced yesterday that it's debuting AI-powered search, which the streaming company is calling AI Discover.

A new tab on the Netflix TV app, AI Discover is where users can tell the platform what they're in the mood for, and Netflix will surface some TV and movie options from its catalog.

SEE ALSO: Druski is bringing his viral comedy empire to Netflix

Here's how it works, according to Netflix's blog post about the launch:

• Pick a theme, such as "Something Light" or "Scare Me." You can also pick a theme by how much time you have or who you're watching with.

• Netflix will match you with recommendations.

• If you're not satisfied, you can search by more specific themes that pop up.

• You can "Tune Your Recommendations" to either keep or toss a recommended piece of media.

"Think of AI Discover as our test kitchen: we're trying out new recipes for discovery, and your use and feedback help us decide which ones to keep, improve, or serve up next," the blog post states. "Some may even make their way into the main Netflix experience."

Featured Video For You Is Gen Z driving a return to cinema theatres?

AI Discover is beginning to roll out to U.S. Netflix users who watch in English, with plans to expand it in the upcoming weeks.

Mashable initially reported that the AI search engine is powered by OpenAI, though Netflix's blog post doesn't clarify this. It does state that the engine will search content by mood, which is consistent with yesterday's launch.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in April 2025, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems. The New York Times has also sued OpenAI.

I’m traveling more than ever these days, which is one of my favorite perks of being a journalist. I get to visit places I might not have otherwise, and it’s made me want to plan more trips of my own. The only problem is that traveling is expensive. Like, exorbitantly expensive.

If you feel the same and aren't committed to an airline, Southwest is advertising select one-way fares from $59 to $129 for travel from Dec. 1, 2026, through March 3, 2027. You’ll need to book by Nov. 5 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, so this one won’t be around until Black Friday.

When it comes to suitcases, I'm super loyal. I had one large red suitcase I traveled with for six years before it finally gave out, and then I bought Target’s Open Story Hardside Medium Checked Suitcase, and it's done pretty well so far. We're a couple years in, and I don't really have any complaints.

But if you're looking for a deal, the Samsonite Freeform Hardside Carry-On is $129.99 at Amazon, down from $219.99. That’s $70 in savings, or about 32% off. I haven’t personally tried this one, so I can’t compare it to my Open Story suitcase, but it’s a worthwhile option if you’re specifically shopping for a carry-on. The Freeform has a hard shell, spinner wheels, and a TSA-approved lock.

I've covered some seriously weird products over the years. Have I been somewhat numbed by Minion WiFi routers and Pikachu sneakers? Without a doubt, but it's honestly reassuring that I still possess the capacity to be shocked.

I still take a moment to pause when I come across a fully functioning Xbox Series X console encased inside a five-foot alligator. That pause reminds me that I'm human.

The Xbox Series X-BITE is a 1-of-1 console that sits embedded directly in the reptile's torso, visible only through a glowing green Xbox Nexus logo cut into the scales on its flank. A matching bite-marked wireless controller rests between its jaws, and the gator is completed by Xbox-green irises and Nexus-inspired pupils.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how simultaneously absurd and epic that is? I want this console intensely. But also, I want to be very far away from it at all times.

Microsoft isn't actually selling this beast. Instead, they are giving away the console via a social media sweepstakes running through Nov. 10. To be in with a chance of winning, follow these steps:

1. Follow @Xbox on your platform of choice.

2. Repost the designated XBOX sweepstakes post.

3. Manually add #XbiteSweepstakes to your repost.

The Champions League is still in its early stages, but it's already crunch time for Fenerbahçe. They have two points from their opening three fixtures, so they're desperately in need of points against Liverpool. A defeat here will make qualification for the knockout rounds very tricky.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have made a perfect start to this campaign. Another win would put them in a very strong spot after four rounds.

TL;DR: Juiced Bikes kicked off holiday sales across its Scrambler e-bikes, dishing out up to $345 in free bundled gear through Nov. 22 and an extra $100 price cut for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Juiced Bikes just rolled out its holiday sale for the Scrambler lineup, giving away hundreds in free gear and knocking down prices through the end of the year.

If you have been looking at moto-inspired e-bikes, the Scrambler platform is built around that classic vintage moped stance without sacrificing modern power. Both bikes pack serious punch: a 750W motor pushing up to 1,764W of peak power, 90 Nm of torque, and a 28 mph top speed, backed by a 52V battery that cruises for up to 60 miles.

They are also UL-certified for fire and battery safety, stop with four-piston hydraulic brakes, and feature built-in turn signals plus a PIN-protected speed limiter for younger riders.

You have two different setups to choose from: the Scrambler Hardtail and the Scrambler Full-Suspension. The Hardtail runs an inverted KKE front fork with a rigid rear frame. Skipping the rear shock means zero bounce eating up your pedal or motor stroke, delivering sharp street handling and a 300-pound payload capacity for heavy hauling.

The Full-Suspension version takes everything on the Hardtail and bolts on an adjustable KKE rear shock. That extra travel lowers payload capacity to 225 pounds, but it pairs with wider 20x4.5-inch knobby CST tires and switchable torque or cadence sensors to keep both wheels planted over potholes, gravel, and dirt.

The Black Friday deal timeline

Juiced Bikes is rolling out the savings across three separate sales windows between now and the end of the year:

• Beat the Sellout Pre-Sale (Nov. 2-22): Buy either model at regular retail and get $345 in free bundled gear automatically at checkout. The free package includes front and rear fenders, a rear utility rack, a bar bag, a bar pad, a front headplate, a personalized nameplate, and a sticker pack.

• Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Nov. 23 to Dec. 2): The biggest cash discount of the season. Both bikes get an instant $100 price drop ($1,599 for the Hardtail, $1,799 for the Full-Suspension), plus $315 in free accessories, for a total of $415 in savings.

• Holiday Sale (Dec. 3 to Dec. 31): Prices return to regular retail, but you still get up to $345 in free gear bundles. Orders placed by Dec. 16 are guaranteed to arrive before the holidays.

Grab your gear bundle now, or hold out until Thanksgiving week if you want the extra hundred bucks in your pocket.

Holiday party invitations have a way of raising more questions than they answer. What exactly counts as "festive attire"? Is a sweater enough for the office party? And does "cocktail attire" mean you need to dig out a suit and tie?

The trick is to match your outfit to the occasion, then build around a few versatile pieces you can wear long after the decorations come down. A merino sweater and collared shirt can work for a family dinner, while adding a sport coat gives you a more polished look for the office. For dressier gatherings, a dark suit is a reliable choice.

From comfortable sweaters to tailored suits, Men’s Wearhouse has the pieces to help you dress for any holiday gathering without overthinking it.

What should a guy wear to a holiday party?

It depends on the occasion, so start by checking the invitation for a dress code. An office party usually calls for business casual: Try a sport coat over a dress shirt with chinos and leather shoes. For dinner with friends and loved ones, a merino sweater layered over a collared shirt and dark trousers strikes a comfortable balance. 

If the invitation specifies cocktail attire, play it safe with a dark suit, dress shirt, and dress shoes. A tie is a good idea if you’re unsure how formal the gathering will be. 

For a casual get-together with friends, dark jeans, a quarter-zip sweater, and clean leather sneakers should do the trick.

For men, cocktail attire at a holiday party generally means a dark suit, dress shirt, and leather dress shoes. A tie isn’t always required, but it’s a good idea if you’re unsure how formal the event will be. (Worst-case scenario, you take it off and put it in your jacket pocket, no biggie.)

Cocktail attire falls somewhere between business casual and black tie. A navy or charcoal suit is a reliable choice, while a patterned tie or pocket square can add a little holiday flair without going overboard. You don’t need a tuxedo, but jeans and sneakers are usually too casual. For colder evenings, a wool overcoat looks more appropriate over a suit than a casual puffer jacket, and a scarf adds warmth without sacrificing the dressier look. 

Other dress codes can be harder to decipher. "Business casual" typically means a sport coat or sweater with a collared shirt, chinos or dress trousers and leather shoes. According to the Emily Post Institute’s dress-code guide, “festive attire” generally means cocktail-party clothing with a seasonal touch, such as a colorful tie or pocket square. "Festive casual" is more relaxed, allowing for dark jeans, sweaters, and seasonal colors. 

When the invitation is vague, consider the venue and who’s hosting. A New Year’s Eve party at an upscale restaurant may call for a dark suit, while a casual Christmas gathering at a friend’s house might require nothing dressier than a sweater and chinos. When in doubt, it’s usually better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.

Is a merino sweater dressy enough for a holiday party?

A merino wool sweater is dressy enough for most office Christmas parties, family holiday dinners, and casual New Year’s gatherings, especially when paired with a collared shirt and tailored trousers. It’s a comfortable alternative to a suit that still looks polished enough for the occasion.

Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is prized for its soft feel, breathability, and ability to help regulate body temperature. A fine-knit merino sweater looks more refined than a chunky knit, making it easy to dress up or down. A crewneck layered over a dress shirt is a reliable choice, while a quarter-zip (a sweater with a short zipper at the neck) offers a slightly sportier look.

If you’re wondering whether to wear a sweater or a blazer, consider the setting. A sweater on its own works well for family gatherings and casual office parties, while adding a sports coat makes the outfit more appropriate for dressier events. For cocktail attire, however, a suit is generally the safer choice.

Men’s Wearhouse Merino Shop includes crewnecks and other styles that can be worn on their own or layered under a jacket.

Can you wear sneakers with a suit to a holiday party?

Yes, you can wear sneakers with a suit to a holiday party, provided the event isn’t too formal. The combination works particularly well for festive casual gatherings and office parties where a more relaxed look is appropriate.

Stick with clean, minimalist leather sneakers in white, black or another neutral color. Avoid running shoes, chunky sneakers or anything visibly worn. A navy or charcoal suit with a simple dress shirt and understated sneakers can look polished without feeling overly formal.

For cocktail attire, an upscale dinner or a more traditional office party, leather dress shoes are the safer bet. Oxfords and loafers both work, depending on the occasion. When in doubt, consider the venue and dress code. Sneakers may work at a casual office celebration, but not at a formal holiday banquet.

Whether you're dressing for a casual Christmas party or a dressier New Year's Eve celebration, Men's Wearhouse has the sweaters, sport coats, suits and shoes to help you put together an outfit that fits the occasion.

FAQsWhat should men wear to an office holiday party?

For most office holiday parties, a sport coat over a dress shirt with chinos or wool trousers and leather shoes is a safe choice. If your workplace is more casual, a merino sweater and dark trousers may be enough. For a cold-weather holiday party, a wool overcoat is a natural choice over a suit or sport coat. Check the invitation and consider what your colleagues typically wear to company events.

How can men dress up for a holiday party without wearing a full suit?

Pair a sport coat with dress trousers and a collared shirt for a polished look without a matching suit. Alternatively, layer a fine-knit merino sweater over a dress shirt and finish with leather shoes.

Can I wear a quarter-zip sweater to a Christmas party?

Yes, a quarter-zip sweater works well for casual Christmas parties, family dinners, and many office celebrations. Choose a fine-knit style in a neutral or seasonal color, and wear it over a collared shirt with chinos or dress trousers.

Does Men's Wearhouse sell merino wool sweaters?

Yes, Men’s Wearhouse carries merino wool sweaters in its Merino Shop. You can find styles suitable for layering over a shirt or wearing under a sports coat.

Do I need to wear a tie to a holiday party?

A tie is optional for most business casual and festive casual parties, but it's a good idea for more traditional cocktail events. If the invitation specifies formal or black-tie attire, follow that dress code rather than treating it as an ordinary holiday party.

What's a good holiday gift for a man who likes to dress well?

A merino wool sweater is a practical gift because it works for both casual and dressier outfits. Other options include a scarf, leather gloves, or a dress shirt, especially if you know his preferred size and style.

TL;DR: Buy an eligible new Windows 11 Home PC or gaming handheld by Dec. 31, and Microsoft will give you 25 digital Xbox games (a $500+ value) for free. Claim them in the Microsoft Store app by Feb. 12, 2027.

Opens in a new window Credit: Microsoft Microsoft: 25 free digital Xbox games   Get Deal

Microsoft is celebrating a massive milestone by giving away a ready-made PC gaming library to anyone picking up hardware this holiday season. To mark Xbox's quarter-century mark, Microsoft named this promo the "25 Years of Xbox Bundle" and loaded it with 25 titles spanning classic franchise roots, Bethesda RPGs, and modern multiplayer staples.

Buying and activating an eligible new Windows 11 PC or handheld in the U.S. lets you claim the entire bundle for free. Sold in the Microsoft Store, these games retail for $569.99 combined. These are permanent digital ownership licenses that stick to your personal account — no Xbox Game Pass subscription is required to keep or play them, and 16 of the games feature Xbox Play Anywhere support, so you can also run them on your console.

The fine print

The single biggest catch in Microsoft's terms comes down to your operating system: the bundle is strictly limited to consumer machines running Windows 11 Home and qualifying gaming handhelds.

Standard Windows 11 Pro PCs are barred from the promotion, with the only allowed Pro exception being qualifying NVIDIA RTX Spark devices. So, if you buy an office laptop or business workstation loaded with standard Windows Pro, you walk away empty-handed.

You also have to purchase and activate your PC from an authorized U.S. retailer between Nov. 2 and Dec. 31. Devices must be brand new from the factory; refurbished units, open-box specials, display models, and marketplace reseller purchases do not qualify.

Once your new PC is up and running, the offer will appear in your Microsoft Store library no later than Nov. 30, and you must officially claim it by Feb. 12. The bundle is limited to one claim per Microsoft account; licenses cannot be transferred or split among friends, and it is advised to redeem an account set to 18 or older so Windows family filters do not lock you out of M-rated games like Skyrim or Fallout.

Hardware requirements also swing wildly across the list. While retro classics like Quake and Fuzion Frenzy will run on practically anything, heavier titles like Fallout 76 require dedicated graphics power. If your handheld or laptop cannot run a specific game smoothly right now, don't worry; the license remains permanently tied to your account so you can install it on a more powerful rig down the line.

How to claim your games

Once you boot up your new machine and sign in with your primary Microsoft account, claiming the bundle takes just a couple of minutes:

1. Open the Microsoft Store app pinned to your taskbar.

2. Click the Library icon on the bottom-left sidebar.

3. Select the Included with device tab.

4. Locate the 25 Years of Xbox Bundle.

5. Verify that you are logged in to the right account, then hit Claim. All 25 games will immediately drop into your Microsoft Store and Xbox app libraries, ready to install.

TL;DR: 7-Eleven rolled out a limited-time Flavors of Korea menu featuring $5 Bibigo dumplings, Gochujang wings, and K-BBQ taquitos through Jan. 5, 2027, along with an in-app discount K-drama mini-series on TikTok.

Late-night convenience store runs in South Korea are legendary for good eating, and 7-Eleven is bringing that energy stateside. The retailer launched its limited-time Flavors of Korea menu across participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores, remixing iconic grab-and-go staples with gochujang, kimchi, and sweet Korean barbecue glazes.

The chain teamed up with Korean food giant Bibigo to introduce branded items alongside house-made creations across both the hot bar and the cold grab-and-go cases. And if you don't feel like driving to your local store at midnight, the entire lineup is also available for on-demand delivery via the 7NOW app.

What’s on the Flavors of Korea menu

The limited-time menu runs through Jan. 5, 2027 (and Jan. 6 at Raise the Roost spots):

• Bibigo Spicy Chicken Dumplings — 10 bite-sized dumplings filled with chicken, glass noodles, cabbage, and soy sauce.

• Bibigo Korean BBQ-Style Pizza — Personal pizza with beef, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, green onions, cheese blend, and sweet bibigo BBQ sauce.

• Gochujang Boneless Wings — Eight boneless wings glazed in a spicy-sweet mix of gochujang, garlic, ginger, and chili paste.

• Korean-Style BBQ Taquito — Roller-grill taquito stuffed with chicken, onions, and K-BBQ sauce.

• Korean-Style BBQ Seasoned Sausage — Pork sausage on the roller grill seasoned with brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.

• K Town Chicken Salad Sando — Cold chicken salad sandwich spiced with gochujang and sesame oil on fire-and-milk marble bread.

• K Noodle Salad — Cold sōmen noodles mixed with kimchi, veggies, and spicy gochujang dressing.

• Seoul Style Sweet Heat Chicken Sandwich (Raise the Roost only) — Crispy tenders in sweet-heat sauce with bacon, pepper jack, slaw, and BBQ aioli on brioche.

For rewards members, 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards accounts can add any 20-ounce Coke or Pepsi bottle for $1 when buying two pizza slices, an order of bibigo dumplings, gochujang wings, or a deli sandwich through Jan. 6, 2027.

The K-Drama mini-series

To accompany the menu, 7-Eleven produced an original vertical mini-series airing exclusively on its official TikTok and Instagram channels (@7eleven and @speedwaystores).

Directed by filmmaker Danny Lee, the seven-episode drama follows two classmates whose relationship unfolds during midnight convenience store runs. Sixty-second episodes air every Monday and Thursday through Nov. 23, leaning into classic K-drama romantic tropes, dramatic camera zooms, and convenience store dining.

Each episode release also unlocks a limited-time discount in the 7-Eleven app for the menu item that takes center stage in the storyline.

Head to your local store before early January to grab some $5 dumplings, and see if convenience store K-BBQ lives up to the drama.

Think your rendition of "Wonderwall" is ready for the big stage? Well, with the new Apple Music feature called Selfie Sing, you can now record yourself singing along and share it with the world.

The feature launched in the first developer beta of iOS 27.3, made available late on Tuesday, so most people won't see it just yet. It popped up in Apple Music for me as soon as I updated to the new version, and I can report that it works, though it's pretty limited at the time.

The idea is simple: Choose your karaoke song, press the record button, and sing along into your phone's camera and mics. You'll see the song lyrics on the display and the original vocals will be audible but just barely, allowing you to show off your vocal prowess. After the recording is done, you can apply some simple effects onto the vocals, and export the video to your phone's photo library.

The feature comes with several caveats. First, you can only choose songs from a fixed playlist containing 49 songs. It's a pretty decent karaoke selection, including hits by Oasis, Whitney Houston, Cindy Lauper, Bonnie Tyler, Men at Work, The Goo Goo Dolls, Madonna, and Marvin Gaye, to name a few.

The bigger issue is video length, which is currently limited to one minute; not nearly enough to do a full rendition (or even just one verse-chorus bit) of any of the songs on the list.

SEE ALSO: iOS 27.3 beta: Everything new in Apple's latest iOS beta release

Given that Selfie Sing is only available in iOS 27.3 developer beta, it's very probable that the limitations will get removed or at least reduced in the future.

I've tried the feature out on an iPhone Duo, so I can confirm it's available and fully functional on that device, too.

It's also worth noting that this box is sold by a third-party seller on Amazon (J & M COLLECTIBLES), and they have a very positive 100% rating over the last 12 months of business, so your purchase seems to be in very good hands.
