ChatGPT Christmas offer 2025: partner trials, festive features, and holiday shopping tools

ChatGPT users searching for a special Christmas deal in 2025 will notice that OpenAI has not launched an official, sitewide holiday discount on Plus subscriptions.

Instead, the holiday period is marked by creative partner promotions, region‑specific free trials, new shopping research features, and unique festive Easter eggs inside the ChatGPT app—delivering value beyond a simple price cut.

Here we explain what the 2025 ChatGPT Christmas offer really looks like, how to access free or discounted Plus trials through partners, which seasonal features and tools are available for all users, and why OpenAI’s approach prioritizes engagement and feature adoption during the holidays.

····················

No official Christmas discount from OpenAI, but regional free trials via partners.

OpenAI has not offered a general Christmas price reduction or promo code for ChatGPT Plus in 2025.

The subscription fee for ChatGPT Plus remains unchanged through the holiday season, following OpenAI’s strategy of maintaining stable pricing rather than participating in retail-style discounts.

However, users in certain regions can access free or discounted Plus trials through partnerships.

For example, Rappi Pro Black subscribers in Latin America receive a voucher for a one-month ChatGPT Plus trial by email if they subscribe or renew during the holiday window.

Similarly, GrabUnlimited subscribers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines can claim a one-month free Plus trial before December 31, 2025.

These offers are single-use, require users to be new to ChatGPT Plus, and must be redeemed using the email associated with the partner account.

ChatGPT app features new holiday Easter eggs and video tools.

OpenAI has enriched the festive season with creative features inside the ChatGPT interface.

One highlight is the Sora-powered Christmas video generator, which lets users create holiday video greetings starring a Santa figure.

By sending a single emoji and uploading a selfie, users can access this feature—a playful Easter egg teased by CEO Sam Altman and made available to both Free and Plus users.

This tool leverages ChatGPT’s multimodal capabilities, making it easy to produce shareable, personalized content for the holidays.

Other small festive touches, such as themed prompts and output, have been observed throughout December.

Holiday shopping research tools expanded for all plans.

For the Christmas and Black Friday period, ChatGPT has expanded its Shopping Research features to work without daily usage limits across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro accounts.

These tools help users discover, compare, and select gifts by analyzing product preferences, budget, and quality metrics—making the platform a practical assistant for holiday shopping decisions.

The broader rollout of these research features for the season reflects OpenAI’s focus on utility and engagement rather than discounting.

····················

Partner trial offers: how to claim and what to know.

Partner free trials and vouchers are designed for new ChatGPT Plus users only and are generally:

• Single-use and regionally targeted

• Redeemed via email links or partner dashboards

• Valid until the end of December or until codes run out

• Non-transferable and ineligible for previous Plus subscribers

OpenAI’s official support documentation provides the latest details on eligibility and redemption.

Promo codes must be claimed promptly and cannot be reused or shared.

····················

No direct price cut, but holiday value through features and partner access.

Although OpenAI does not reduce ChatGPT Plus pricing for Christmas, users still benefit from:

• Free Plus trials via select partners

• Festive in-app experiences and video generation

• Expanded shopping tools for planning and gifting

Together, these elements create a “holiday value stack” that rewards both loyal and new users with enhanced features and exclusive access during the season.

····················

Why OpenAI focuses on engagement over discounts for holiday campaigns.

OpenAI’s holiday strategy centers on driving feature adoption and user engagement, rather than competing on price.

By offering regionally-targeted partner trials, festive tools, and improved shopping research, OpenAI positions ChatGPT as a valuable assistant for the holidays—regardless of subscription status.

This approach is in line with trends across the SaaS AI industry, where ongoing product value and daily utility outweigh short-term price reductions.
