Each Thanksgiving brings a wealth of traditions that almost everyone experiences: cooking turkey, traveling to see relatives, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while digesting food, regretting all the stuffing and pumpkin pie you ate, and vowing to exercise after you consume all those leftovers.

For many Americans, watching the National Dog Show is one of the hallmarks of the holiday. Whether it’s watching your favorite breed of canine prance around a packed auditorium or hearing the colorful commentary from the clearly amused presenters, there’s something for everyone at the event, which is why so many people tune in every year to watch it. How many? An estimated 20 million people watched last’s years iteration.

How much does it cost?

There is no fee to sign up for the most basic level of Peacock and no credit card is required upon signing up. All that’s needed is an email address for users to access 10,000-plus hours of content for free. The free tier is very limiting in terms of content. If you would like to access more programs from Peacock, there are various paid tiers to explore.

Peacock Premium is the first paid tier from the streaming service, with access to over 80,000-plus hours of entertainment for a monthly price of $5, or $50 per year. This tier contains ads but allows users to access new films and live events. If this tier is too restricting, users can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus, which costs $10 per month, or $100 per year. Premium Plus includes everything from Premium, but contains no ads and allows users to download and watch programs offline.

Currently, Peacock is offering a limited-time Black Friday deal that offers an annual subscription to Peacock for only $1 a month for 12 months.
