Annual Hulu Black Friday Deal Includes Disney+: $4.99/mo. up to 12 Months

Update: This deal has expired. See all current deals.

The coming end of the standalone Hulu app means that we’re not getting our traditional deep discount for Black Friday. While we used to be able to get Hulu for as little as 99 cents/month, this new Black Friday deal is only available if you include Disney+.

The deal is $4.99/month for the ad-supported Hulu-Disney+ bundle, and you get to lock in that price for up to 12 months. If you’d like the ad-free bundle, you can save 25% for a year – the price is $14.99/month.

Is This a Good Deal?

Well, it’s cheaper than the typical cost of $12.99/month. So you’d save $96 over the course of a year.

But Hulu is absolutely notorious for its terrible ad load. There are far too many commercials. And if you’re signing up for this deal for Disney+, you’d be right to be concerned about how many ads your kids will have to sit through.

The ad-free Disney+ and Hulu bundle is normally $19.99/month, but the Black Friday price is $14.99. That’s not bad, but I wish it were lower, of course.

What Are Some Better Black Friday Deals?

If you have preschoolers, PBS Kids is a better value than Disney+., and there’s a great Black Friday deal that provides the entire PBS Kids library for just $1.25/month. All the content is great for young kids.

For premium entertainment, the Apple TV deal gives you some of the best premium dramas for 50% off. Best of all, there are no commercials.

HBO Max has some of the best movies and TV shows from the past 100 years and it’s a screaming deal at less than $3/month. You do have to sit through commercials, however.

MGM+ has a surprisingly good movie library and some fun premium dramas and it’s remarkably cheap right now.

Howdy may remind you of what Netflix used to be. It’s not available on every device, but that price is crazy.

If you want live TV, you can get more than 50 channels and watch all the Hallmark Christmas movies with Frndly TV for a rock-bottom price.

And if you’re looking for the best streaming gift, BBC Maestro can help your friends or family learn almost anything, and you can give them a full year of the service for just $72.
