Online video streaming is one of the easiest ways to instantly access thousands of great movies and TV shows, especially around Christmas when family and friends gather around the living room TV to watch the latest blockbusters together. Disney Plus is one of the most popular streaming subscriptions in the UK as it gives access to all Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars films, as well as big hits such as The Simpsons, Only Murders in the Building, Grey’s Anatomy, Shogun, The Bear , and many more.

The downside is that subscriptions to multiple streaming providers such as Disney Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV, Paramount+, and others can result in high monthly bills. That’s why we’re looking for the best ways to save money and get some of these services at a discount.

If you’re looking to stream Disney Plus for free this Christmas and beyond, you might be in luck. It’s a little-known fact that British mobile operator O2 is offering new and existing customers the chance to get three or six months of Disney Plus completely free with some of its SIM-only offers.

With a SIM-only plan, you pay for a SIM card or eSIM over a mobile network, but you don’t buy a phone at the same time. They’re best if you already own a phone but want to sign up for a monthly SIM plan to get the best deal at the lowest possible price.

If you’re new to O2 or upgrading your current SIM-only plan, you can add Disney Plus as an extra when checking out. The free Disney Plus offer is available when you purchase a 12 or 24 month SIM plan from O2. Prices start at £18 per month for a 12-month SIM contract, which gives you 1GB of monthly data and unlimited calls and texts. You can add Disney Plus Standard, an ad-free version of the service, for free for three months.

If you switch to the 12GB monthly data plan for £21.99 a month, O2 is offering six months of Disney Plus Standard for free. If you want, you can opt for a six-month free Amazon Prime service, which gives you Prime Video along with all other Prime benefits like free one-day delivery on thousands of eligible Amazon items.

Disney Plus Standard normally costs £8.99 a month, so you get six months free, whereas it normally costs £53.94.

You can take advantage of O2’s free Disney Plus offer by visiting O2’s SIM Only Deals page and purchasing a new tariff.

Existing O2 customers can also get the offer by upgrading to an eligible plan or selecting Disney Plus as an extra on their account. Go to the My O2 app on your phone to see if you can get the offer.
