My family hates clutter. So whenever the holidays roll around, I love to give the gift of an annual streaming service subscription like Peacock, Paramount+, Hulu, and more. It’s something that they can use, won’t take up a lot of space, and it's great for last-minute gifting. Plus, I make the password something like “Meganisthebest” or something equally catchy. And it's a gift you can renew every year so your loved one won't miss their favorite shows, movies, sports, and more.

To help you pick the best streaming subscriptions to give as last-minute gifts, I’ve put together a list, with some subscriptions starting as low as $7.99 a month and some with additional add-ons (like Showtime and Disney+) that make them extra clickable. So check out the streamers, start shopping, and get watching.

The Best Streaming Subscriptions for Gifting

Peacock Streaming Subscription

I love giving streaming subscriptions as gifts. They're so easy to send and allow your recipient to watch their favorite shows and movies on you. Peacock includes an NBC and Bravo Hub, plus sports, movies, WWE, and more.

Hulu Streaming Subscription

You can watch Hulu originals, tons of movies and TV shows (both current and new eps), live TV, plus Lifetime movies on Hulu (with ads) for just $9.99/month. And if you want to make it even more enticing, add Disney+ for an extra $1/month or Disney+ and ESPN+ for an additional $7/month.

Apple TV+ Streaming Subscription

Yes, Apple TV+ will allow you to catch up on episodes of Emmy-winning Ted Lasso, but it also has tons of exclusively original Golden Globe-nominated shows and movies, plus live sports (MLB and MLS). 

Paramount+ Streaming Subscription

You've got two options here -- get a Paramount+ subscription for just $7.99/month or add Showtime to the mix ($12.99/month). Catch up on tons of movies, CBS shows, the NFL on CBS, and more.

Prime Video Membership

A Prime membership automatically comes with a Prime Video subscription, so it's worth the free trial, or buying it for a loved one. You get fast, free shipping on Amazon, plus tons of movies and TV shows to watch. 

Sling TV Streaming Subscription

For sports and a wide selection of channels, you can't beat Sling TV. With the Orange Plan (50% off for your first month) you can choose 8 channels, including a variety of ESPN options for one device. Or you can opt for the Blue Plan (also 50% off for your first month), which features 18 channels for 3 devices, including local stations like FOX and NBC, plus Bravo, AMC, and tons of others (most notably E!). Can't choose? Get them both.
