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.
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.
