The best streaming deals this week: ESPN Unlimited bundle, Paramount+, Spotify, and more
Black Friday and Cyber Monday always have the best streaming deals of the year. But they're available for a very limited time and it's easy to miss them. If you didn't snag a deal in that sliver of time, we've scoured the web to find the best holiday streaming deals to grab before the season ends.
These deals certainly don't compete with the sheer volume of options during Black Friday, but there are a few worth pulling the trigger on. While there's no Netflix or Peacock on this list, there are some major contenders like Paramount+, Hulu, and Disney+. We've highlighted the best options for the week of Dec. 18, 2025 below — make note of the expiration dates on each deal.
Best streaming bundle deal
Why we like it
The best streaming deals are the ones that get you multiple services for one relatively low price. This bundle offer from Disney, which is available through Jan. 5, gets you Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited (with ads) for only $29.99 per month for one one whole year. That's $6 per month in savings or $72 in total savings. ESPN Unlimited gets you access to the entirety of the ESPN catalog, including live events on ESPN and ABC. It encompasses the full ESPN portfolio of channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX). Add Hulu and Disney+ with ads into the mix, and you have a complete suite of entertainment, news, and sports at your fingertips for less than $30 per month. Considering ESPN Unlimited is typically $29.99 per month on its own, that's a pretty epic deal to lock in.
Best live TV streaming deal
Why we like it
This is a busy season for live events, from college football bowl games to NFL playoffs to the Golden Globes. Don't miss out on watching in real time — snag a subscription to a live TV streaming service like DirecTV, which is currently holding its first-ever holiday flash sale. You can get your first month of its Signature Entertainment streaming package for only $49.99 (reg. $89.99).
The Entertainment streaming package includes over 90 channels, like ABC, FOX, CBS, ESPN, NBC, ESPN, FS1, SEC Network, ACC Network, and more for sports fans. Not to mention, Hallmark Channel, AMC, Freeform, and Lifetime are also included for even more entertainment. This deal is only around through Jan. 6 for new customers.
Best music streaming deal
Why we like it
If you're looking to stream some music without ads interrupting your sessions, you can score four months of Spotify Premium for free. This offer is only available for new subscribers through Dec. 31, so act quickly if you want to secure the deal. Typically $11.99 per month, that's nearly $50 in total savings over the four months.
Besides ad-free listening, Spotify Premium allows you to download music for offline listening, collaborate with friends in real time, listen to up to 15 hours of audiobooks per month, and enjoy lossless audio (finally). You'll also get full control over your music and playlists and gain access to Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.
Best streaming deal for returning subscribers
Why we like it
While most streaming deals are only offered to new subscribers, Paramount+ is rewarding returning subscribers with a deal that's better than Black Friday. Select returning subscribers can sign up for Paramount+ Premium for just 99 cents per month for two months. That's $12 per month in savings — just be sure to enter the promo code RM2KN3 at checkout. There's no word on how long this offer will last, so we recommend jumping on it ASAP. The Premium tier gets you access to the entire Showtime catalog, as well as ad-free streaming.
Make note that Paramount+ is hiking its prices on both tiers come Jan. 15, 2026. This could be your best opportunity to watch new theatrical releases, Paramount+ Originals, and Showtime hits for cheap before the price goes up to $13.99 per month.
Best streaming stick deal
Why we like it
We first spotted this deal ahead of Black Friday, and since then it has come and gone whenever it pleases. The code has changed, but it still drops the price of the Fire TV streaming stick — the 4K Select — down to only $9.99 from $39.99. If you're one of the lucky customers who sees the code pop up on the product page (right below the Prime logo), you can save 75% on Amazon's newest 4K streaming device. It features HDR10+ support and an ultra-responsive and fast new operating system called Vega.
