Black Friday is here, with thousands of retailers flaunting their best deals of the year. We're shoppers at heart, so you know we've already scoped out 2024's offerings! Given that the list of stores and brands hosting Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year is essentially endless, we're weeding out only the best deals from the places you love to spend (and save).

From beauty faves like Dieux and Kiehl's to home goods from Amazon and Walmart, these are the Black Friday deals you simply can't miss.

What is Black Friday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving that typically signifies the start of holiday shopping season, though many retailers have started to launch their Black Friday deals earlier year over year. A lot of the deals that stores and brands offer during Black Friday outpace their other sales events (such as Memorial Day and Labor Day) in terms of savings.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Gustavo Fring / PEXELS

Black Friday will land on November 29, 2024.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving that highlights savings and deals online as opposed to in-store offers. It's one of the busiest times of year for online shopping.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Anna Shvets / PEXELS

Cyber Monday will land on December 2, 2024.

When's the best time to shop for holiday gifts?

Vlada Karpovich / PEXELS

We're big believers that it's never too early to start shopping for holiday gifts. The sooner you shop, the better, so you can check everyone off your list ahead of the busy holiday season and have some peace of mind once the real festivities start! Plus, if you're shopping online, starting early gives you ample time to wait for items to be shipped and delivered to your door. If deals and savings are what you're looking for, Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer some really great opportunities.

What's the best thing to shop for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best thing to shop for during Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday promotions really depends on what your needs are as well as the items you're scoping out to treat yourself (or the people you're gifting for the holidays). Typically, big-ticket items like home appliances, tech products like earbuds, laptops, TVs, and tablets, and luxury self-care tools are heavily discounted during this time.

We've got everything from Holiday Movies By Myers-Briggs toThe Best Holiday Movies To Stream andThe Best Hallmark Christmas Movies, plus our annual rewatches of The Holiday and A California Christmas! Hallmark's Countdown To Christmas started October 18 and TBH, it's already putting us in the holiday mood.

That's why we're rounding up some of the best new Christmas movies from 2024 and 2023. These flicks are so cute, they're practically classics already.

The Best New Christmas Movies To Stream In 2024 & Where To Stream Them

Lifetime/A&E

Christmas In The Spotlight — On Philo

Bowyn is the hottest popstar in the world, but struggles to find "The One" after heartbreak. But when she meets pro football player Drew after a concert, it looks like she might be in for one heck of a love story. Not only is this Christmas movie totally inspired by Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, but it features plenty of Swiftie Easter eggs too!

Bob Mahoney/Netflix

Our Little Secret — On Netflix

I hope Lindsay Lohan makes new Christmas movies forever because she always knocks it out of the park. This movie, which follows two exes who get stuck at the same family Christmas when they realize their partners are actually siblings, is laugh-out-loud hilarious and it won't take long for you to wonder which "secret" the title is actually referring to 👀.

Katrina Marcinowski/Netflix

The Merry Gentlemen — On Netflix

When Ashley returns to her small hometown from the city, and learns her family's business is in danger of closing, she decides to save it — with a steamy all-male dance revue of course.

Hallmark Media

Deck the Halls from Cherry Lane — On Hallmark Channel

Christmas on Cherry Lane was a runaway hit last year — and I was totally unprepared for it to make me cry. This year we're getting three sequels, each one rooted in one of the three families we met last year. In addition to Deck the Halls, you can also watch Season's Greetings from Cherry Lane and Happy Holidays from Cherry Lane!

Petr Maur/Netflix

Hot Frosty — On Netflix

Literally everyone is talking about this brand new Christmas movie, which is an updated take on Frosty the Snowman. Lacey Chabert brings a snowman to life...and then falls for him. Classic.

Rob Baker Ashton/Netflix

Love At First Sight — On Netflix

This might have been one of our fall movie recommendations last year, but it's giving major Christmas vibes (and not just because the entire thing has a red and green color palette!). Hadley (Haley Lu Richardson) and Oliver (Ben Hardy) fall in love on their flight from the States to London, but when they lose each other at customs, they have to rely on fate to reconnect them.

AFFIRM Films, Inc.

Journey To Bethlehem — On Netflix

This musical approach to the classic Christmas story features classic Christmas tunes and contemporary pop songs to create a Bethlehem you've never seen before. The film stars names like Fiona Palomo as Mary, Milo Manheim as Joseph, Joel Smallbone as Antipater, Antonio Banderas as Herod, and Lecrae as the angel Gabriel.

Focus Features

The Holdovers — In Theaters

Paul (Paul Giamatti) has gotten the worst job on campus: staying with the students who have nowhere to go over Christmas break. The boys dislike him as much as he dislikes them, but when he's left with Angus (Dominic Sessa) and campus cook Mary (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), Paul realizes he's not the only going through a hard time — and there might be more Christmas cheer than any of them expected. Brit + Co Entertainment Editor Chloe Williams says this is her favorite movie of 2023!

Scott Everett White/Netflix

Best. Christmas. Ever! — On Netflix

Superstar Brandy is back and better than ever as Jackie, who uses her holiday newsletter to make her BFF Charlotte (Heather Graham) think her life is better than it really is. But when Charlotte shows up, Jackie has to do everything she can to keep up the façade — easier said than done.

Disney+/IMDb

Dashing Through The Snow — On Disney+

After a traumatic childhood, Eddie (Ludacris) is done with Christmas. But when his estranged wife Allison (Teyonah Parris) asks him to bring their daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) to work on Christmas Eve, Eddie and Charlotte run into a Nick (Lil Rel Howery), a mysterious man who might just help Eddie believe in Christmas again.

Paulina Stevens/Exmas Film Inc.

EXmas — On Amazon Freevee

Exes Graham (Robbie Amell) and Ali (Leighton Meester) are both missing Graham's family this year, so, naturally, they decide to spend the holidays with the people they love. The only problem? They didn't realize each other was coming. Now it's up to the family to figure out who gets to stay until Christmas morning. Watch our interview with Robbie and Leighton for some extra laughs!

Hallmark

A Merry Scottish Christmas — On Netflix

Hallmark queen (and Mean Girl!) Lacey Chabert is back in this Christmas movie. Lindsay and her estranged brother Brad (Scott Wolf) reunite with their mom in Scotland, but the Christmas family reunion unearths a huge family secret. Party of Five fans are going to love this reunion!

Great American Family Channel

A Paris Christmas Waltz — On Netflix

Emma (Jen Lilley) is novice dancer who gets paired up with professional Leo (Matthew Morrison) for a Parisian dance competition. What's more romantic than a waltz in the city of love?

Prime Video

Elf Me — On Prime Video

Even though Trip is one of Santa's helpers, he can't seem to do anything correctly...except build strange weapons that are definitely don't need to go under anyone's tree. When he helps shy Elia stand up to a group of bullies, the two realize they might be able to help each other work out their problems.

Hallmark

A Biltmore Christmas — On Netflix

One Tree Hill's Bethany Joy Lenz plays Lucy, a screenwriter who books the first adaptation of the classic (fictional) movie His Merry Wife! since 1947. Lucy's sent to Biltmore Estate for research, and ends up getting sent back in time to 1947. Now, as she gets closer to film star Jack (Kristoffer Polaha), Lucy has to do everything in her power to keep the future from changing.

Elizabeth Morris/Netflix

Family Switch — On Netflix

The Wyatt family (played by Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers, and Brady Noon) get a wilder holiday than they bargained for when they accidentally switch bodies during a rare planetary alignment. Now, the family has to find their way back to normal, and try and salvage their relationships in the process.

Claudette Barius/Prime Video

Candy Cane Lane — On Prime Video

Chris (Eddie Murphy) gets in over his head after making a deal with elf Pepper (Jillian Bell) to win the neighborhood Christmas decorating contest. Now, Pepper's brought the 12 Days of Christmas to life and Chris, his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross), and their kids have to break the spell before Christmas is ruined.

The Story Collective/Amazon Studios

Your Christmas Or Mine 2 — On Prime Video

James' (Asa Butterfield) dad has invited all of the Taylors to spend Christmas with their family at an Austrian ski resort (casual) so they can meet his new girlfriend Hayley (Cora Kirk). But when the bookings get mixed up, they end up at each other's cabins — with opposite Tripadvisor ratings — instead of their own.

A+E Networks/Lifetime

A Cowboy Christmas Romance — On Tubi

A week before Christmas, real estate closer Lexie (Jana Kramer) gets sent to the one place she never wanted to return to: her hometown. Now Lexie has to convince Coby (Adam Senn) to leave his family's land, and make peace with the family she left behind ten years ago.

Petr Maru/A+E Networks/Lifetime

Yes, Chef! Christmas — Rent on Amazon Prime

Culinary school instructor Alicia (Tia Mowry) decides she's finally going to prioritize her dreams, and competes in the annual Kringle Cook-Off. But when she learns a family secret that could help her become a respected chef, she gets the help of Kringle protégé, Logan (Luke Humphrey). Now it's up to Alicia to win the cook-off and become the head chef she knows she can be.

I can totally understand falling for a costar. One scene gazing into each other's eyes, and (as the kids say), I'd be asking, "What are we?" Zendaya & Tom Holland and Ashley Park & Paul Forman both met on the sets of their most famous projects (Spider-Man and Emily in Paris, in case you were wondering), and this year's biggest movie event also features a brand new celebrity couple: Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater.

The co-stars made headlines when they ended their respective marriages and started dating each other, and Ethan Slater finally spoke out on the response to their relationship. Here's what he had to say, and the latest news on this couple.

Keep reading for the latest news on Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater's relationship.

  • Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater met on the set of Wicked, in theaters November 22.
  • The couple made headlines when they started dating the same month they separated from their respective spouses.

March 27, 2023 — Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater Were "All Over Each Other"

Ariana and Ethan reportedly could get enough of each other at Michelle Yeoh's Oscars party. A source told The Daily Mail later that summer that "They were seen making out at a pub in Hampstead, and they were all over each other at Michelle Yeoh's Oscar party."

July 2023 — Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater Split From Their Partners And Start Dating

News of Ariana's split from her then-husband Dalton Gomez broke on July 17, while TMZ also reported Ethan filed for divorce from his wife at the time, Lilly Jay, on July 26. (Ariana and Dalton ended up filing for divorce in September).

After People reported Ariana and Ethan were now in a relationship of their own, Lilly told Page Six that “[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage.” However, other sources claim Lilly and Ethan had been separated for a couple months before his relationship with Ariana started.

August 2, 2023 — Ethan Slater & Ariana Grande Are Moving Fast

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater reportedly fell head over heels so quickly, their friends were telling them to pump the breaks. “Ariana’s been told it’s too soon to go public with him and to take things slower,” said an Us Weekly insider at the time. “She’s very aware of how she’s perceived by her fans, and she’s trying to be mature. [But] if it were up to her, she’d be seen with him tomorrow.”

September 4, 2023 — Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater Are Learning How To Balance Their Relationship

Sources told People at the beginning of September that the costars and couple are trying to figure out how to balance their relationship with their celebrity.

“While this entire situation has been blown out of proportion, it’s much different than what has been portrayed in public,” a friend of the couple says. “They are just trying to navigate their new relationship in private."

Another reemphasizes that Ariana and Ethan only started dating after they were separated from their spouses, while a third adds, “They are doing their best to balance the fact that they are in the public eye with the desire to be respectful to all parties involved.”

September 2023 — Ethan Slater & Ariana Grande Go To Disney World

There is no one on this earth with a better heart...I’m 31 years old and I’m not a perfect person, but I am definitely deeply good, and I’m proud of who I’m becoming. I will never let disreputable evil tabloids ruin my life or my perception of what is real and good.”

October 30, 2024 — Ethan Slater Finally Speaks Out About His Relationship With Ariana Grande

Almost two years after meeting Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater finally opened up about their relationship in a new interview with GQ. “Obviously, it was a really super big year and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public," he says. "There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard."

But the clouds also came with silver linings. “Of course, it was an amazing year and a really beautiful thing, and I’m just really excited," he continues. "I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this. She’s poured herself into it. I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

This post has been updated.

It’s pretty common for celebrities to go by a stage name or a different moniker entirely when they’re trying to break into showbiz. Take musicians for example. Before the world knew her as Rihanna, everyone in her life simply knew as Robyn Rihanna Fenty. And the same goes for actors as well. Did you know that The Office alum Mindy Kaling was born Vera Mindy Chokalingam?(Yeah, I was today years old when I learned that.) Even certain members of the British royal family have chosen not to go by their first name, given their high profile status. What if I told you Kate Middleton’s full name is Catherine Elizabeth Middleton? I know right, shocker!

Keep reading to learn more about the 22 celebrities who don’t actually go by their real name — and the reason why.

1. Emma Stone

Real Name: Emily Jean Stone

Back when Easy A alum Emma Stone was trying to break into the industry as an actress, she chose to go by a different name because there was already a person with the same moniker in the SAG.

So, in a 2017 interview with W Magazine, the Poor Things star shared that she wanted to go by Emily J. Stone, but decided against it. “So to ask a 16-year-old to pick a new name is really an interesting process, because I was like, ‘I’m going to be Riley’... And so my name was Riley Stone for about six months,” she told the publication at the time. “I changed it to Emma because you know it’s closer to Emily, but most people call me ‘M,’ that know me well.” Honestly, I think you could've pulled off the J, Emma.

2. Lady Gaga

Real Name: Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta

Turns out, the Bad Romance singer wasn’t gaga for her real name when she decided to break into Hollywood. Before entering the music industry, Germanotta chose her stage name “Lady Gaga” after she was apparently inspired by the 1984 Queen single “Radio Gaga.” Huh, who would’ve thought?

3. The Weeknd

Real Name: Abel Makkonen Tesfaye

Years before the world knew him as “The Weeknd,” Tesfaye chose his professional name when he left home at a young age. During a Reddit Ask Me Anything segment, the singer revealed, "I left home when I was about 17 dropped out of high school and convinced [my friend] Lamar to do the same.”

He continued, “We grabbed our mattresses from our parents threw it in our friends sh—ty van and left one weekend and never came back home. It was gonna be the title of HOB [House of Balloons]. I hated my name at the time though so I tried it as a stage name. It sounded cool. I took out the “e” because there was already a Canadian band named the weekend (copyright issues).”

4. Gigi Hadid

Real Name: Jelena Hadid

In case you didn’t know, the proud mom went by “Gigi” early on in her childhood. (FYI: Gigi was also her mom’s childhood nickname too.) But in a 2015 interview with Vogue, Hadid shared that everyone started calling her “Gigi” once she started grad school.

“In first or second grade, there was a girl named Helena and it got confusing with the teacher who had to call out our names, and so the teacher asked my mom, ‘If I needed to call Jelena a nickname, what would it be?’ And my mom was like, ‘I call her Gigi sometimes,’ and the name stuck,” the supermodel explained at the time.

5. Meghan Markle

Real Name: Rachel Meghan Markle

Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Markle simply went by her first name: Rachel. But now, she goes by her middle name professionally. Markle is rarely addressed by her first name in public. However, an exception was made in 2018 when The Sun reported that the late Queen Elizabeth II blessed Markle’s marriage with now husband Prince Harry and addressed the duchess by her full name.

6. Brad Pitt

Real Name: William Bradley Pitt

Apparently, Brad Pitt is another celebrity who likes going by his middle name. But, according to Page Six, the longtime actor actually prefers introducing himself by his first name when he’s flirting with women.

7. Marilyn Monroe

Real Name: Norma Jeane Mortenson

We're throwing it back with this celebrity name! Fun fact: Mortenson took the name Dougherty after her first marriage. But how did she come up with the name we're all so familiar with? Per Time, the beloved actress chose to say goodbye to her last name after a 20th Century Fox studio executive thought that there would be too many mispronunciations with her last name. So, she decided to drop her last name in exchange for her mom’s maiden name: Monroe. In addition, the exec gave her the name “Marilyn” because she reminded him of a 1920s Broadway star named Marilyn Miller.

8. Reese Witherspoon

Real Name: Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon

Speaking of Jeane's, did you know Reese Witherspoon's name is actually Laura Jeanne? Yup, according to Vogue, the Legally Blonde star took on her mom’s maiden name early on in her career and the moniker Reese Witherspoon was born. It's also why she only calls Big Little Lies costar Laura Dern "Dern."

9. Natalie Portman

Real Name: Neta-Lee Hershlag

Originally, Portman was given a traditional Hebrew name before immigrating to the United States in 1984, where her family changed their surname to Portman. Then, the actress’s first name, Neta-Lee (which was her maternal grandmother’s maiden name) later became Natalie.

10. ​Cardi B

Real Name: Belcalis Almanzar

Though everyone knows her as Cardi B, her diehard fans can attest to the fact she was given a different name at birth. Born Belcalis Almanzar, her stage name is actually short for Bacardi (you know, like the rum). While appearing on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the rapper shared the origin of her pseudonym.

“My sister's name is Hennessy,” the rapper told Fallon. “So everyone used to call me Bacardi, and I started calling myself Bacardi, which eventually was shortened to Cardi B.”

11. Chloe Bennet

Real Name: Chloe Wong

While promoting her new show Interior Chinatown, Chloe Bennet sat down with Brit + Co and shared why she felt the need to go by a different name than what she was given at birth, which is Chloe Wong. “Early on in my career, my mixed race seemed to be so much more of a thing than I ever understood it as growing up,” the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D alum explained. “I come from a very diverse household and my dad is Chinese. I think I felt more Chinese than what the world perceived me as and that was a weird concept for me.”

The 32-year-old actress went on to share how she changed her surname to Bennet (aka her father’s name) on her resume and she started booking more roles. “I am still not Chloe Bennet. I am Chloe Wong,” she says in the interview.

12. Kit Harington

Real Name: Christopher Catesby Harington

Many of us are taught how to pronounce our given name from a very young age. But for Kit Harington, the Game of Thrones star wasn’t told his first name until he was 11 years old. In a 2014 interview with Glamour, the British actor explained how his parents refrained from telling his real name because “they could see that I wanted to be Kit, but Christopher was a bit of a tradition.”

He continued, "My brother’s name is Jack, but his real name is John. Kit is traditionally an offshoot of Christopher, it’s just not used that often. My middle name is Catesby.”

13. ​Jamie Foxx

Real Name: Eric Marlon Bishop

Did you know Eric Marlon Bishop chose his stage name “Jamie Foxx” when he first started doing stand up? Back in 2015, Foxx sat down with David Letterman and explained how he tried aiming for a “unisex name” when it came time for him to choose a professional alias.

“I noticed that like 1,000 guys showed up and only three girls, but the three girls would always get a spot,” the singer and actor revealed when recounting the time he signed up for a slot in the standup lineup. “So I went to the list and wrote down a unisex name…Jamie Foxx.” And it looks like the name just stuck.

14. ​Lana Del Ray

Real Name: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant

Until the age of 25, Lizzy (aka Elizabeth) Grant reinvented herself and took on a new name when she tried breaking into the music biz—and that’s how Lana Del Rey came to be. According to The Guardian, she not only changed her name, but her entire persona and image. #Iconic

​15. Bruno Mars

Real Name: Peter Gene Hernandez

Before he caught a grenade for us, the Finesse singer was called Bruno by his family because, when he was a baby, he resembled the professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. But when it came to his last name, the Hawaiian-born musician thought it would be best to drop it and adopt the Mars surname. “Your last name’s Hernandez, maybe you should do this Latin music, this Spanish music...Enrique's so hot right now,” he jokes in a 2013 interview with GQ.

16. ​Lucy Hale

Long before she starred in The Substance, the longtime actress (born Demetria Guynes) tied the knot with rock star Freddy Moore at the age of 17 and took his last name. Though the marriage ended after four-and-a-half years, she’s been known as Demi Moore ever since.

18. ​John Legend

Real Name: John Roger Stephens

Tonight’s the night that…you’re going to learn how John Legend got his stage name! In a 2008 interview with MTV News (via People), the EGOT winner shared the story behind how he came up with his professional name. “John Legend is a nickname that some friends started calling me, and it kind of grew into my stage name,” he said at the time. “‘Legend’ is something that I never would have chosen for myself originally. It grew to the point where more people in my circle would know me by that name than by my real name.”

19. Miley Cyrus

Real Name: Destiny Hope Cyrus

Don’t worry, Destiny Hope Cyrus can buy herself flowers! As it turns out, the Grammy-award winner’s stage name dates back to her childhood, when her family would call her “Smiley,” which ultimately turned into “Miley.” And the rest is history.

Real Name: Ashley Frangipane

Turns out, Halsey’s stage name is not anagram of her first name, Ashley. Back in 2015, the singer sat down with VEVO and revealed that she was inspired by Halsey Street in Brooklyn, where she would spend weekends making music with her friend.

21. Meg Ryan

Real Name: Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra

Apparently "Meg Ryan Fall" isn't a totally accurate moniker because Meg's real name is Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra! Meg is a common nickname for Margaret, but she got Ryan from her maternal grandmother's maiden name.

22. Nina Dobrev

Real Name: Nikolina Kamenova Dobreva

Originally born Nikolina in Bulgaria, our favorite Vampire Diaries star (and recent fiancée!) adopted "Nina" for her stage name because she reportedly figured it would be easier for fans to remember.
