Shoppers usually take advantage of Black Friday deals to purchase presents that they will give out on Christmas, but it’s also the best time to purchase holiday decorations for your home. However, if you want to do some early shopping, you can already take advantage of certain Best Buy Black Friday deals, including the retailer’s offer for the 6.5-foot version of the Alexa-enabled Christmas tree by Mr. Christmas, bringing its price down to just $300 after a $100 discount to its original price of $400.

If you’re a huge fan of Christmas and you love tech, the Mr. Christmas Alexa-enabled Christmas tree is the perfect addition to your living room for the holiday season. The Christmas tree uses Amazon’s Alexa connect chip, making it a Certified Works with Alexa product that you can add to your smart home network through the Alexa app. There’s nothing else to download — connect the Christmas tree to your Alexa app just like any other smart home device.

Once it’s online, you can ask Alexa to turn the Christmas tree’s lights on and off or select one of the 40 lighting functions that it offers using its energy-saving RGB LED lights. You can set the schedule for when the Christmas tree will turn on and off, so you won’t have to do it manually every day. It’s also easy to set up because of a built-in power pole, so there’s no need for extra plugs, and with its memory wire branches, it won’t be a hassle to shape your tree.

Families and friends shouldn’t hold back on celebrating Christmas, and the festivities will be grander when you have the Mr. Christmas Alexa-enabled Christmas tree in your living room. The 6.5-foot version of the Christmas tree is available from Best Buy in an early Black Friday deal that slashes $100 off, lowering its price to just $300 from its original price of $400. There are other height options of 7.5 feet and 9 feet, too, if you want to purchase a bigger version. You shouldn’t wait until all its stocks are snapped up before finalizing your purchase, so if you want the Mr. Christmas Alexa-enabled Christmas tree, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

Hurry — this cheap 65-inch QLED TV Black Friday deal ends soon

Vizio M-Series Quantum 6 Smart TV in living room with media on.

Even though Black Friday is over and most Black Friday TV deals have passed, there are still a few floating around that you can pick up if you missed out. For example, this excellent Vizio 65-inch MQ6 series is still available from Best Buy for just $500, rather than the usual $630 it goes for. We don't know how long this deal will last, so if you like it, grab it as soon as possible rather than waiting for Cyber Monday Deals. We've already seen many similar deals expire within the last few hours, and we don't know if we'll find any similarly good ones on Cyber Monday.

Why you should buy the Vizio 65-inch MQ6 Series 4K QLED TV
Quantum-dot LED TVs are a sort of "in-between" option between a standard LED TV and a high-end OLED TV. A QLED TV adds a layer of small particles, or quantum dots, over the LED panel. This quantum-dot overlay amplifies color and brightness, creating a more vivid and vibrant picture that's better for daytime viewing. Over the past year (and especially now with leftover Black Friday deals), the price of QLED televisions has approached that of LED TVs, making now a great time to upgrade to a quantum-dot panel if you've been thinking about it.
