Not to be morose, but when the holidays are over and the winter doldrums begin, you're going to want a strong roster of indoor activities.
Subscriptions can keep you busy — whether you opt for a new-to-you streaming service or an online education platform like MasterClass. This year, there are plenty of great deals out there for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, including top-notch pricing on fan faves like Hulu and Audible. It's going to be the most exciting January ever!
We'll update this article as prices change and more deals become available. For more savings, check out our giant (like, really giant) list of the best Black Friday deals.
The best Black Friday streaming deal
Why we like it
If you don't mind ads, this deal is pretty wild: 12 months of Hulu for a mere 99 cents per month. That's less than $12 per year for access to hits like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary, and Shōgun — our pick for the best TV show of the year. The movie offerings on Hulu aren't half bad, either: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Die Hard, Alien, and more.
You can also opt for a yearlong Hulu and Disney+ bundle (both with ads) for $2.99 per month. Both deals are available until December 2.

The best Black Friday subscription deal (non-streaming)
Why we like it
MasterClass has quite a roster of expert instructors. We're talking TV writing from Shonda Rhimes, style from Tan France, singing from Christina Aguilera, and more. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, all of the platform's subscription tiers are 50% off, which means you'll pay between $5 and $10 per month instead of $10 and $20. The Premium plan has the most bells and whistles — you can download classes for offline viewing and use up to six devices on the same account.
