As of November 25, 2025, streaming services are pulling out all the stops with Black Friday deals so aggressive, consumers are canceling their existing subscriptions just to re-subscribe at rock-bottom prices. Black Friday 2025 isn’t just about TVs and toasters anymore — it’s become the biggest streaming sale of the year, with Apple TV, HBO Max, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, and Hulu all offering discounts that feel like they’re giving away content. And the timing? Perfect. With new movies like Weapons, Materialists, and Eddington dropping on HBO Max in late November, the pressure to sign up is real.
How Deep Are the Discounts?
Apple TV’s six-month deal at $5.99 per month — down from $12.99 — is a 54.58% discount, and it’s available to new subscribers and even some returning ones. That’s less than a dollar a week for access to award-winning originals like Severance and For All Mankind. Meanwhile, HBO Max is offering a jaw-dropping $2.99/month for a full year, verified by CFL-TECH’s YouTube video posted November 25 at 09:41 UTC. That’s cheaper than a coffee run twice a week.
Paramount Plus Premium? Also $2.99/month — confirmed by both Tom's Guide and TechRadar — with some reports adding that the first two months are locked in at that rate. And if you’re looking for the ultimate bundle, Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN+ together are now $29.99/month instead of $35.99. That’s $72 saved per year. TechRadar also spotted a Hulu + Disney+ duo at just $4.99/month, which means you’re saving $120 annually.
The Walmart Plus Wildcard
Here’s where things get clever: Walmart slashed its Walmart Plus membership from $98 to $49 annually — 50% off. And here’s the kicker: for that price, you get a choice between 12 months of Peacock Premium or Paramount Plus Essential. Both services normally cost $50 per year on their own. So you’re essentially getting a free streaming subscription wrapped inside a membership that also gives you free delivery and fuel discounts. Tom's Guide called it “one of the best deals of Black Friday 2025 so far.”
Bundles, Add-Ons, and Hidden Gems
For niche fans, there’s gold too. BET+ and Starz are now bundled as a Prime Video add-on for $3.99/month for two months — down from $15.99. That’s a 75% drop. Starz alone is offering 73% off its $10.99 monthly rate for the first three months, or a $23.99 annual plan. And don’t sleep on ESPN — it’s part of that Disney/Hulu bundle, making it a must-have for sports fans.
These deals aren’t just random promotions. They’re a direct response to the subscription inflation of 2025. Netflix, Paramount Plus, HBO Max, and Disney Plus all raised prices earlier this year — some by as much as 15%. Consumers fought back. And now, the streaming giants are fighting back harder — with discounts.
Why This Matters
For years, streaming was seen as a convenience. Now, it’s a financial decision. People are treating subscriptions like credit cards — activating, canceling, reactivating — all to chase the lowest price. It’s a game of timing. The Cord Cutter Weekly updated their streaming deals tracker on November 25, 2025, and noted that most of these offers expire December 1, 2025. Some may last longer, but the window is narrow.
And here’s the twist: companies know this strategy. They’re banking on the fact that once you sign up for $2.99/month, you’ll stick around even after the rate jumps back up. That’s the real business play. But for now? It’s a consumer’s paradise.
What’s Next?
Don’t expect these prices to last past early December. Streaming companies have been tight-lipped about exact end dates, but all indications point to these deals vanishing after the holiday shopping frenzy ends. If you’re thinking about signing up, don’t wait. The deals are live now, and the clock is ticking.
Pro tip: If you’re currently paying for multiple services, cancel them first — then sign up under a new email or account to qualify for new-customer pricing. It’s a well-documented tactic, and Tom's Guide bluntly advises: “Cancel all my streaming services to get these amazing Black Friday streaming deals — and you should too before they end.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really cancel my current streaming service to get these Black Friday deals?
Yes — and many consumers are doing exactly that. Services like Apple TV, HBO Max, and Disney Plus often track new customers by email or payment method. If you cancel and then sign up again using a different email or a new payment card, you can often qualify for introductory pricing. Just be aware that some platforms may flag repeated sign-ups, so use caution and check terms.
Which deal offers the best overall value?
The Walmart Plus $49 annual deal stands out because it bundles a $50 streaming service (either Peacock Premium or Paramount Plus Essential) with free shipping, fuel discounts, and pharmacy savings. Even if you don’t need the streaming part, the membership alone is worth it. For pure streaming, the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN bundle at $29.99/month saves $72 annually and gives you the most content variety.
Do these deals work outside the U.S.?
Most of these promotions are U.S.-only. Apple TV, HBO Max, and Disney Plus have different pricing and deals in Canada, the UK, and other regions. If you’re outside the U.S., check your local service portals — some countries have their own Black Friday deals, but they rarely match the depth of U.S. offers.
Why are streaming services offering such steep discounts now?
After multiple price hikes in 2025, subscriber growth stalled. Companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery are losing customers to cheaper alternatives or cord-cutting. These deals are a desperate attempt to win back churned users and lock them in before the new year. They’re betting you’ll stay even after prices rise again — and history shows many do.
Are these deals available on all devices?
Yes — all major deals can be activated on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, Roku, Fire Stick, and gaming consoles. However, some require you to sign up through the service’s website rather than an app. Always check the fine print: some deals require a credit card, and auto-renewal kicks in after the promotional period unless canceled.
What happens after the promotional period ends?
Your rate will automatically revert to the standard monthly price — often $10–$18 depending on the service. For example, Apple TV will jump back to $12.99, HBO Max to $15.99, and the Disney/Hulu bundle to $35.99. If you don’t cancel before the trial ends, you’ll be charged the full rate. Set a calendar reminder for 10 days before your promo ends to avoid surprises.
