Apple’s best-selling AirPods are on sale for just $79 — their lowest price in a month.
When it comes to earbuds for music, there’s no denying the popularity of AirPods. Apple’s famous all-white earbuds are as much a status symbol as they are an essential go-to for recording artists, podcasters and music producers alike. But we recommend them for everyday use as well, whether you’re listening to music on your daily commute or need a pair of wireless earbuds for your next FaceTime call or Zoom.
While AirPods used to cost a pretty penny, they’re now available for under $200. Apple products never go on sale on the company’s own site, but Amazon has marked down AirPods to as low as $79, but deals like this won’t last, so you’ll have to move fast to get AirPods at a deep discount (click here for more Black Friday Apple deals). The AirPods Pro are currently $199.99. Regularly $249, the AirPods deal gets you a 20% discount on the beloved Apple earbuds. Apple’s 2nd Generation AirPods are on sale for $79 at Amazon while, 3rd generation AirPods are $142.49 at Amazon and $179 at Best Buy, Crutchfield and Macy’s.
Apple AirPods Max, which are usually $549, are discounted to $449 at Amazon. You can also purchase AirPods Max at Walmart and Best Buy, although prices may vary depending on the retailer.

The AirPods Pro are one of the newer wireless earbuds in the AirPods family, and musicians are snapping them up thanks to the superb audio quality (think: clear, crisp sound), and the buds’ Active Noise Cancellation feature, which blocks out exterior noise for a quieter, more focused listening session.
Traveling for the holidays? The AirPods Pro are also great for travel and running and working out, with a sweat-resistant coating worth considering. (They’re not entirely waterproof like some earbuds, so you wouldn’t want to go swimming in them). Interchangeable silicone tips allow you to find the perfect seal for your ears, and everything fits into a tiny charging case, which gets you up to 24 hours of battery life before you need to plug in.
Apple is known for their high-tech and high-design products, and the AirPods Pro are not only a fan favorite, but an industry fave as well. Need further proof? According to a recent report, AirPods Pro sales exceeded 90 million units during the 2021 holiday season.
Get the Apple AirPods Pro deal for $199.99 and 3rd generation AirPods for $142.49. Another deal: The regular AirPods are even cheaper, discounted right now to just $79 at Amazon and Walmart and $89.99 at Target. You can also find them at Best Buy for $99.99. Note that the regular AirPods won’t have the Active Noise Cancellation technology, but all the other features are there. See full sale details here.

Food, family and football!
With three different NFL games scheduled to take place on Thanksgiving, we took the liberty of rounding up some of the ways that sports fans can watch and stream games during the holiday.
Although Thanksgiving coincides with Thursday Night Football, you won’t be able to watch Thanksgiving games on Prime Video — at least not this year. The first-ever Black Friday game will stream on Prime Video in 2023.
Read on for scheduling details and ways to watch and stream NFL games from anywhere.
How to Watch NFL Games on Thanksgiving
What football teams are playing on Thanksgiving? The Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions, New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys, and New England Patriots vs. Minnesota Vikings.
The NFL’s Thanksgiving triple-header kicks off Thursday (Nov. 24) with the Bills vs. Lions airing at 12:30 a.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT on CBS and streaming live on Paramount+, where Bebe Rexha and David Guetta are set to perform. The Giants vs. Cowboys game is scheduled to air on Fox at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT, with the Jonas Brothers performing during halftime.
Closing out the NFL’s Thanksgiving game day will be the Patriots vs. Vikings airing at 8:20 p.m. ET/5:20 p.m. PT on NBC. The game will also stream live on Peacock (use ExpressVPN to access streaming platforms and certain channels from outside of the U.S.).
Whether you plan to watch live or stream on-demand, there are plenty of options to choose from. If you have cable, feel free to refer to your channel guide for more game day details. You might be able to access NFL games on NBC, Fox and CBS with an antenna, like this budget-friendly option, which is currently on sale for $17 at Amazon.
For those who don’t have cable, satellite, or access to TV through Verizon Fios, T-Mobile, AT&T or another provider, platforms like FuboTV, Sling TV, DirectTV Stream, Vidgo, and Hulu + Live TV provide live and on-demand access to cable and local channels, DVR recording, and more for an affordable price and most include a free trial for up to a week.
Sports lovers can also enjoy games on-the-go with NFL+. Plans start at just $4.99/month after a 7-day free trial to watch live and local primetime games on your phone or tablet and you can cancel anytime.

“I’m going to make the most delicious, coziest holiday drink,” Cardi proclaimed in a TikTok video posted on Saturday (Nov 20). “You’re going to f—ing love this sh–!”
Cardi — glammed up in full makeup and a pink-and-purple ombre wig — shared a step-by-step tutorial on how to make her yummy spiked hot chocolate, topped with her newly released Peppermint Whipshots.
To start, Cardi poured a few ounces of Fa!rlife milk into a glass mug and popped it in the microwave for “extra coziness.” Next, Cardi mixed the warm milk with Ghirardelli’s Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix and added a few shots of Bailey’s Irish Cream, “To spice some sh– up.”
She topped the drink off with Peppermint Whipshots, a new flavor from her line of vodka-infused whipped cream, and put a Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark chocolate square in her mouth before taking a sip. “Literally melting in my mouth!”
Cardi reposted the clip to her Instagram account with the caption, “I’m not that good at making TikTok’s soo lmaaaooooo……but this is the most delicious holiday drink [with] the new @whip_shots flavored 🎁🎄….I promise it melts in your mouth!”

Happily ever after? Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey add a new chapter to the fairytale in Disenchanted.
The sequel to Disney’s Enchanted, premiering on Disney+ on Friday (Dec. 18), picks up 15 years after the original with Giselle and Robert married and raising a family in New York City.
Giselle feels disconnected from city life, so the family moves to a suburban town of Monroeville, in hopes of finding a new “fairytale life.” When the change of location doesn’t play out the way she envisioned, Giselle turns to magic and mistakenly transforms the town into a “real-life fairytale” gone wrong. Now, Giselle must reverse the spell and “determine what happiness truly means to her and her family.”

These adorable Pop! vinyls measure 4.1 to 4.4 inches tall and are packaged in a plastic box making them easy to display (click here for durable, plastic display cases). Fans have the option of buying each NKOTB Funko Pop! separately ($12) and as a 5-pack ($60) available at Walmart and Funko.com.
NKOTB released their breakout album, Hangin’ Tough, in 1988. The LP went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned some of their most classic hits, including “Please Don’t Go Girl” (a Billboard Hot 100 top 10), “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” (No. 3), “I’ll Be Loving You Forever” and the title track (both No. 1s on the Hot 100) and “Cover Girl” (No. 2).
Earlier this year, the group hit the road for the Mixtape Tour alongside Salt-N-Pepa, Rick Astley and En Vogue, before setting sail with fans on the four-night NKOTB Cruise last month.
Block Nation has long been waiting for NKOTB to join Blink-182, TLC, BTS and other music groups and recording stars that have their own collectible figures. There’s even a petition urging Funko to release NKOTB Pop! vinyls.
Funko’s music vertical includes Pop! Rocks, Pop! Albums, GOLD and Tha Dogg House, a co-branded retail store with Snoop Dogg that is slated to open in early 2023.
