What to skip, and what to consider instead.<\/h4>\n\n\n

Black Friday is a great opportunity to save money on streaming with deals on Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and more, but it can also be a big waste of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many companies offering streaming deals this week, you\u2019ll have to be judicious with your spending. Otherwise, you\u2019ll wind up overspending, subscribing to services you never use, or watching on subpar streaming devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the Black Friday streaming deals that I think are worth skipping, and what you should consider instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Two months of Paramount+ with ads for $3 per month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paramount+ is rolling out the same Black Friday deal for 2025 as it did in 2024, offering two months for $3 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price is the same regardless of whether you choose Paramount+ with ads, or the ad-free Premium plan with Showtime, so there\u2019s no reason to choose the former. Just sign up for the ad-free plan, then switch back to the ad-supported plan (or cancel entirely) before your two months are up. (Setting up a limited-use payment card<\/a> can help you avoid getting auto-billed at the regular price.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can avoid that whole rigamarole by getting a year of Walmart+<\/a>, currently half-off at $49. This will give you access to either Paramount+ or Peacock (both with ads), and you can switch every three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select for $20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Amazon\u2019s other streamers run a modified version of the Android operating system, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select runs a new OS called Vega, which has a much more limited app selection and severe restrictions on sideloading<\/a> software from outside Amazon\u2019s store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Largely because of those restrictions, Fire TV Stick 4K Select holds the dishonorable distinction of being Amazon\u2019s only streaming player with customer rating below 4.5 stars, currently sitting at 3.7. (Amazon is also reportedly suppressing negative reviews<\/a> that might\u2019ve driven the score even lower.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you really want a Fire TV device, spend the extra $5 on Amazon\u2019s Android-based Fire TV Stick 4K Plus<\/a>. Better yet, pick an all-around better streamer like the Roku Streaming Stick Plus<\/a> (on sale for $19) or the Android-based Walmart Onn 4K Plus for $30<\/a>. You can even sideload apps on the latter without Amazon potentially removing them<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Amazon\u2019s Starz deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon\u2019s Prime Video Channels marketplace is currently offering two months of Starz for $2.75 per month, plus a $3.50 per month bundle with AMC+ Premium and a $4 per month bundle with BET+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of those deals, consider getting a full year for $12 directly from Starz<\/a>. While the total price is a little higher, the cost per month is much lower and you\u2019ll have access until the next Black Friday rolls around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Amazon\u2019s AMC deals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon is also offering two months of AMC+ with ads for $1.75 per month, or without ads for $2.50 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a solid discount, but AMC itself offers a 30-day free trial of AMC+ ad-free<\/a> with a promo code (currently AMC30FT4<\/strong>). That offer has been available year-round, and while it only gives you a month instead of two, you can sign up whenever it\u2019s convenient instead of trying to cram in all your AMC+ viewing by the end of January. With so many other short-term Black Friday deals available, you might not have time to dip into AMC\u2019s catalog right now anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Roku Premiere for $20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of this year, Roku no longer sells any streaming devices whose remotes don\u2019t include volume, power, and voice controls. Those controls are extremely handy, and I\u2019ve long encouraged folks to avoid buying any streaming devices that exclude them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But apparently Walmart hasn\u2019t gotten the memo. Search for \u201cRoku<\/a>\u201d on Walmart\u2019s website, and you\u2019ll see the $20 Roku Premiere as the second-highest result. This is an outdated streaming player that doesn\u2019t appear in Roku\u2019s current lineup, and it lacks those aforementioned volume, power, and voice controls. With Roku\u2019s Streaming Stick Plus<\/a> selling for $1 less, there\u2019s no good reason to buy the Premiere instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip: Fox One and Fox Nation for $200<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fox is currently offering a bundle of its new streaming service and existing right-wing news\/lifestyle service that brings the price to $200 for the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But starting November 27, Fox One<\/a> will have a standalone deal of $150 for the next year. Fox Nation<\/a>, meanwhile, has its own standalone offer of $35.49 for one year. That adds up to $185.49 if you subscribe to each service separately for a year, versus $200 for the bundle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe skip: Hallmark+ annual deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hallmark has two deals running on the week of Black Friday: You can get three months $1 per month<\/a> with code BF3MO<\/strong>, or one year for $40<\/a>with BF50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the question to ask yourself here is how much Hallmark you intend to watch outside of the holiday season. If your intention is to dip in for Christmas fare, you should steer clear of that annual offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skip with one exception: Hulu\u2019s $3 per month Starz upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Disney\u2019s 2025 Black Friday deal gets you 12 months of Disney+ and Hulu for $5 per month with ads or $15 per month with no ads. If you sign up for this offer through Hulu, you can also add 12 months of Starz for $3 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aforementioned standalone Starz deal, which gets you a full year for $12<\/a>, is a much better offer for practically everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is one exception worth calling out: If you have an American Express Blue Cash card, you can claim a monthly Disney streaming credit of either $7 (with Blue Cash Everyday<\/a>) or $10 (with Blue Cash Preferred<\/a>). That would bring the cost of the ad-supported Disney bundle with Starz to either $1 per month or free, depending on your card. Unlike the standalone Starz deal, you could also cancel anytime instead of paying for the entire year up-front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
