The week of Thanksgiving month is meant for rest, relaxation and catching up on TV so your family doesn’t spoil any of the popular shows for you over the holidays. Luckily, now is the perfect time to sign up for Peacock so you can talk Yellowstone with your uncle over dinner. Right now, Peacock is offering new and eligible returning subscribers the Peacock Premium plan for just $1.99 per month for six months, OR get an entire year subscription up front for just $20, and pay less than $2/month for 12 months. As far as Black Friday deals go, this is my most exciting find.
Peacock has four (and a half!) seasons of Yellowstone, every season of The Office, new Hallmark holiday movies and plenty of recent theatrical releases like Twisters — and eventually Wicked! Plus you can catch live TV and sports airing on NBC including Saturday Night Live, football games, college basketball and premier league soccer.
An ad-supported Peacock subscription lets you stream select live events on NBC (like the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade), new movie releases like Despicable Me 4, select Hallmark holiday movies live and on-demand for three days following their premiere on the Hallmark Channel, and every Bravo show.
Plus, you’ll get access to thousands of hours of beloved shows such as Parks and Recreation and The Office.
For $14/month you can also upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
Why is this a good deal?
Anyone who streams anything these days knows that streaming platforms rarely (if ever, *cough* Netflix *cough*) have sales. Not only is this Peacock Black Friday deal a rarity, but it will save you up to $60 on streaming in the coming year — which feels especially significant in this day and age of streaming costs.
As a professional streaming writer, I take advantage of Peacock’s deal every year so I can access all the newest shows I need to write about without shelling out tons of money every month.

You’ll definitely want access to Peacock if you plan on watching the Dolphins vs. Packers Thanksgiving Day game this week, that way you can stream the game on your TV and phone at the same time so you won’t miss any of the action when you’re in the kitchen checking on the turkey. You’ll also be able to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on the platform.
In addition to the relevancy of Peacock to Thanksgiving week, the platform is also home to plenty of new Hallmark holiday movies, Christmas classics and recent theatrical releases like Twisters, Despicable Me 4 and The Fall Guy. Plus stream comfort sitcoms like Parks & Recreation, The Office, Modern Family, New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
