Max Black Friday deal: Get six months of streaming access for 70% off

'Tis the season for marinating on the couch to binge your favorite holiday movies. And HBO Max, which is offering a huge early Black Friday deal right now, is home to a whole lot of classic holiday movies including Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, all the Harry Potter movies and The Polar Express. That should have you covered from now through New Years, with plenty of content leftover to binge-watch come January.

This week, HBO's Max is giving new and eligible returning subscribers the ad-supported plan for just $3/month for six months. That's $42 in savings and access to hugely popular shows like Dune: Prophecy, House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, Sex and the City, Industry, Succession, Sex Lives of College Girls, The Last of Us and more. Plus stream Warner Bros. releases like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (streaming Dec. 6), TRAP and both Dune movies.

Why is this a good Black Friday deal?

Anyone who streams anything these days knows that streaming platforms rarely (if ever, *cough* Netflix *cough*) have sales. But not only is this Max Black Friday deal a rarity, it will save you up to $42 on streaming in the months — which feels especially significant in this day and age of streaming costs.

As a professional streaming writer, I take advantage of Black Friday streaming deals every year so I can have access to all the newest shows I need to write about without shelling out tons of money every month. I personally already took advantage of this deal and am so excited to start streaming Dune: Prophecy.

Okay, you maybe don't need HBO's Max streaming platform, but if you want to watch all the best Friends Thanksgiving episodes this week, or make your whole family watch Dune: Part Two with you after Thanksgiving dinner, or catch up on the new season of The Sex Lives of College Girls on your journey home, then this deal could come in handy.
