When someone mentions Prime (like when your friend in class tells you that’s where they got their entire ‘fit), you probably think about the fast, free shipping that comes with a Prime membership. But there’s actually *so* much more to a membership — especially a Prime Student membership, which is only $7.49 a month, that’s 50% of the cost of a regular membership for the same exact same benefits, plus more!
Holiday break is the perfect opportunity to explore all of those other Prime Student benefits…beyond ordering last-minute gifts to get delivered fast before your fam party. (Shoutout to all the other present procrastinators!)
This holiday season, Prime Student makes

shopping and entertainment easier and more enjoyable than ever. Whether you’re looking
for Prime member deals on gifts for mom and dad from our Holiday Gift Guide or to unwind with a new
holiday favorite by streaming Candy Cane Lane on Prime Video, Prime Student is your companion
for a perfect holiday break.
From entertainment to travel to food, check out all of the surprising ways you can use a Prime Student membership over the holiday break.
Surprise your fam with a treat.
Food delivery is for more than just late-night treats. With Prime Student, you can save big on delivery orders with a one-year free trial of Grubhub+ which includes $0 delivery fees from hundreds of thousands of restaurants. Tell your parents you have dessert covered, and surprise your fam after your holiday feast with a pie from your fave hometown bakery!
Make a playlist.
Does anyone else like to make a playlist for literally every.single.mood. they’re in? (IYKYK!) Amazon Music has a huge collection of songs and podcasts for you to make a playlist for the gift exchange with your besties, your family dinner, and one with all your fave songs from the year.
Set (and start!) your New Year’s resolutions.
Whether you and your BFFs have been talking for months about starting a book club, or your TBR list is getting a little long, it’s a great time to set some reading resolutions for 2024. ICYMI, Prime Student gets you full access to Prime Reading *and* two months free of Kindle Unlimited.
Invite your BFFs over for a movie night.
No matter how often you and your besties talk while you’re at different schools, it’s always still *so* special reuniting back in your hometown for the holiday break. To get some cozy, quality time with them, invite them over for a movie night and watch one of the hundreds of movies on Prime Video.
Help out with groceries.
Apple pie, a charcuterie, scalloped potatoes — there is nothing better than the delicious food you get to enjoy when you’re home for the holidays. Save a trip to the store with fast delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market. Get everything you need — from pantry essentials to all the ingredients for that cookie recipe you saw on Spoon University — delivered straight to your door.
Enjoy some self-care time.
Post-finals, you deserve some self-care time. Light a candle, turn your phone on DND, and tune out the post-semester anxiety with Calm. BTW, Prime Student members get a 3-month free trial of Calm Premium so you’ll have even more options to help you find your zen.
Beat the winter blues with a trip.
Once the break is over and the holidays end, it’s nice to have something else on the calendar to look forward to — so why not start a group chat with your college besties and plan a trip? Check out the discounted travel offers through StudentUniverse, another Prime Student benefit that helps members save up to 10% off the price of all flights, all year long. Say bye to those winter blues, and hello to a tropical vacay without breaking the bank!
While Prime Student members already enjoy discounted travel through StudentUniverse as part of their benefits, for the first time, StudentUniverse is teaming up with Amazon to offer Prime Student members $25 flights home for the holidays. To take advantage of the deal, Prime Student members can visit studentuniverse.com/amazon-prime-student between December 5 –7, with one thousand $25 tickets available for purchase on each day. The promotion is available on all U.S. domestic flights within the 50 United States and District of Columbia for travel between Dec. 8, 2023 to Dec. 25, 2023 and return flights (if applicable) between Dec. 8, 2023 to Jan. 14, 2024.
There are so many incredible benefits to having a Prime Student membership — and if you don’t yet have one, you need to sign up now and enjoy a 6-month trial (…or put it on your holiday wishlist!) No matter what Prime Student features you use over the holiday vacation, we hope you can relax, have fun, and enjoy your time with friends and family.
