Disney+ Hulu bundle still only costs $5 a month for a year thanks to Black Friday deals

Disney fans and binge-watchers, rejoice. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) is discounted for the holidays again this year, bringing the two platforms together for a low price of $5 per month for a year. The plan includes the Disney+ base plan with ads and the Hulu base plan with ads. If you are a new subscriber or eligible loyal customer, you can take advantage of this discount which brings the cost of both services down to $60 total for one year.

Disney+ and Hulu are one of the most balanced streaming pairs available, mixing family favorites with acclaimed originals and network TV staples. Disney+ offers a vast library of animated classics, hit franchises and exclusive content from Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and National Geographic. It’s the perfect place to stream almost every Star Wars movie and series, as well as the full Marvel Cinematic Universe lineup and Disney’s most recent theatrical releases.

For families, it also serves as a reliable destination for lively favorites, from Charm has Inside Out 2and its kid-friendly interface makes it easy to hand over the remote without worrying about what’s next in queue.

Hulu balances things out with a lineup of more adult-oriented current TV shows, next-day network episodes, and a growing slate of award-winning originals. The platform hosts series like The bear, The Handmaid’s Tale And Only murders in the buildingalongside comedies, thrillers and documentaries that regularly feature in awards conversations. It’s also the home of next-day broadcasts of ABC and FX shows, making it especially useful if you’ve already cut the cable cord but still want to catch up on prime-time TV.

The Duo Basic plan ties these two services together under a single subscription, providing a simple way to expand your library without juggling multiple accounts. This tier includes ads on both platforms, but the tradeoff is significant savings compared to paying for each service separately. For many households, this is an acceptable compromise when it comes to accessing such a wide range of content.

Both platforms also integrate easily across all devices. Disney+ is available on almost every smart TV and streaming stick, and Hulu’s interface is built around customizable profiles, so everyone in the house can maintain separate watch lists. The bundle connection works seamlessly between the two, and since they’re both owned by Disney, it’s easy to go from a Marvel marathon to a new episode of The Great Or Abbott Elementary School without leaving the ecosystem.

If you prefer a more premium experience, you can upgrade to the Duo Premium plan for ad-free viewing, but the Basic plan remains the best value for most users. This is a particularly convenient choice if you’re looking to consolidate your streaming subscriptions without losing access to major franchises or hit series.
