Parallels usually runs a solid holiday discount every year around Thanksgiving. Here’s an idea of what to expect this year, when to shop, what kinds of discounts are typical, and examples from previous sales to give you a sense of what’s likely on offer.
When Will Parallels’ Black Friday 2025 Sale Start and End?
Parallels’ Black Friday sale traditionally kicks off a bit earlier than the usual Black Friday date, and in 2025, the sale is expected to start on Monday, November 17, 2025. That’s a full 10 days before Thanksgiving.
The sale typically runs through the long weekend and past Cyber Monday. This year, you can expect the offer to stay valid until Tuesday, December 11, 2025.
Keep in mind, their annual event only happens on parallels.com, their official site, where the discounts are usually automatic (no coupon codes needed at checkout). The deal is generally targeted at U.S. customers. If you’re shopping from outside the U.S., the offer might not be available or could be different, so it’s worth double-checking on the Parallels website if you live elsewhere. Also, terms and conditions apply as usual, so be sure to read those carefully if you want to know exactly what’s included or excluded.
What Products Are Discounted & By How Much?
The main highlight of the sale will likely be Parallels Desktop 21 for Mac. From what we’ve seen in previous years, Parallels typically offers a 25% discount on all versions during Black Friday. The discount usually covers all the main editions:
-
Standard Perpetual License: This is the one-time purchase version, where you pay once and own that version forever.
-
Standard 1-Year Subscription: This option gives you a subscription model, with access to updates and support for a year.
-
Desktop Pro 1-Year Subscription: The Pro edition has additional features for power users or developers, and it’s also discounted during this sale.
If you’re unsure which version fits your needs, it’s a good chance to review what each edition offers before the sale starts.
