Amazon is giving shoppers an early Christmas presents with discounts on all its Fire TV Sticks ahead of the Boxing Day and January sales
Amazon has slashed the prices of its whole Fire TV Stick range ahead of the Boxing Day sales. The deal offers shoppers big discounts on the popular streaming device, allowing them to upgrade their TV for a fraction of the usual price.
There are price drops on every model, from the standard Fire TV Stick HD to 4K Max. The biggest savings are available with the Fire TV Stick 4K and 4K Max, both of which have been reduced by £25.
The 4K Max is touted as Amazon’s ‘most powerful’ streaming stick and is on offer at £44.99, down from £69.99 – the same deal offered in the Black Friday sale. This model offers tons of entertainment on streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV+, allowing you to stream with ‘lifelike’ pictures and sound in 4K Ultra HD.

The gadget also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and immersive Dolby Atmos audio, plus access to millions of songs on music streaming platforms like Amazon Music and Spotify and gaming with Amazon Luna. The 4K Max also boasts 16GB of storage – double that of other models – providing twice as much space for apps, games and software updates and can also be used hands-free with Alexa voice control.
With Wi-Fi 6E support and a compatible router, the device lets you enjoy smoother 4K streaming even when several devices are connected to the internet. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max has racked up more than 8,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, with customers saying it’s a ‘game-changer’ and offers the ‘best streaming experience’.
One happy customer said: “This device is a game-changer for streaming enthusiasts. The setup was incredibly straightforward, and within minutes, I was immersed in a world of stunning 4K Ultra HD content. The picture quality is crystal clear, with vibrant colours and sharp details that make every viewing experience captivating.
“The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is also impressively responsive. Navigating through menus and apps is quick and smooth thanks to its powerful processor. Overall, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment setup. Its superior performance, coupled with Wi-Fi 6E support, makes it an excellent investment for the best streaming experience.”
Another added: “Great streaming stick with superb picture quality. This is great as it also does 4K as well and the picture and sound are great. It’s very compact, so it will fit most HDMI inputs on your TV. Very fast when it comes to operating the device and selecting apps is smooth and trouble-free. Very happy with this purchase and even thinking about buying another one. Even though they aren’t the cheapest streaming stick on the market, they are well worth the money.”
However, although hailing the device as ‘brilliant’, another shopper said the included remote control is ‘flimsy’, writing: “Brilliant Fire Stick. This was easy to set up, quickly ready to go and has been a dream. It is responsive, there’s no lag time, the quality of the pictures are brilliant. Only (small) issue was that the remote is a bit flimsy and not particularly well made.”
For those looking for a bargain, the more affordable Fire TV Stick HD is available at a discounted £29.99, down from £39.99. Each version of the Fire TV Stick boasts an easy setup, plugging directly into a TV’s HDMI port, perfect for upgrading an ordinary TV to a smart TV.
The HD model delivers up to 1080p Full HD resolution, includes 8GB of storage and comes with Alexa voice control built-in. Elsewhere, Sky has just unveiled its revamped TV and streaming bundles, including the new Essential TV and Netflix plan. For £15 per month, this provides access to more than 100 channels including Sky Atlantic, plus subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+.
