Streaming isn’t the affordable affair it used to be. Buzzy content is now spread out across multiple streaming services, from Only Murders in the Building on Hulu to Severance on Apple TV+ to 1923 on Paramount+ and more. Live sports, meantime, are still largely only available on cable TV channels (meaning you’ll also want a live TV streaming service). In short, cord-cutting isn’t as budget-friendly as it used to be. But, in our opinion, it’s still preferable to the headache of outdated cable or satellite packages.
Luckily, there are ways to save on your streaming lineup. Many of the top streaming services online run discounts during the holidays or offer cost-saving bundle deals. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the best holiday streaming deals happening right now to help you save on your monthly streaming bill.
