One of the very best things you can give someone this holiday season isn’t a thing at all. Instead, it’s the gift of knowledge (as cheesy as that sounds) — straight from the pros. Where such a present is to be found? Over at MasterClass, of course, which is our editors’ favorite online learning platform, based on the sheer diversity of its courses and just how engaging each one turns out to be.

For a limited time only (read: through the end of today, meaning you have absolutely no time to waste), all MasterClass subscriptions are going for 50 percent off. A single membership gets you access to over 200 classes taught by individuals at the top of their respective fields, which you can watch from anywhere (yes, even on “Airplane Mode” while jet-setting to Bali, if you happen to invest in the platform’s “Plus” or “Premium” packages).

Essentially, MasterClass operates on three tier levels. “Standard” (now $5/month versus the regular $10) lets you learn on one device only, with no offline capabilities. “Plus” ($8/mo) allows for two devices and treats users to its offline functionality. Lastly, “Premium” ($10/mo) lets you connect up to six devices to a single subscription. And while we totally recommend pampering yourself with what MasterClass has up its sleeve when it comes to interactive courses across categories like design, film and TV, food, wellness, music, science, writing, and more, this is a gift-worthy purchase if we’ve ever seen one. That’s why MasterClass lets you easily forward a subscription to someone else, at an annual rate of $60 versus $120 (a printable gift option is available and the giftee has 30 days to cancel with a money-back guarantee).

Now, onto the part you were no doubt waiting for. What courses are actually worth checking out? If you have an unlimited reserve of time, our answer is: All of them. But, more realistically, picking the ones that most align with your interests is a solid bet, and those who are obsessed with the latest fashion trends, follow every major makeup artist on social media, and in general love nothing more than getting their glam on would be wise to explore MasterClass’ “Personal Style” category.

Here, you can master the art of self-expression through clothes under the tutelage of stylist-to-the-stars Karla Welch; learn the basics of fashion sketching and putting on a runway show with Marc Jacobs as your teacher; go behind the scenes of creating a fashion empire with Diane von Furstenberg; and get tips on acing an everyday makeup look, straight from the lips of beauty maven Bobbi Brown.

And in case all you (or the woman on your list) want for Christmas is healthier, more radiant skin, turn to one of MasterClass’ most recent releases: a dermatologist-led class that was extensively reviewed by our commerce beauty editors earlier this year. Called “Skin Health,” the offering features a total of 20 episodes through which you will get a firmer grasp on everything from scalp health and lip care to good-for-skin nutrition and effective nighttime routines that cut through the TikTok BS. The experts spearheading all this are Dr. Shereene Idriss, social media darling, dermatologist, and founder of skin care line Dr. Idriss; Dr. Michelle Henry, cosmetic dermatologist and clinical instructor at Weill Cornell Medicine; Ron Robinson, award-winning cosmetic chemist; and Dr. April Armstrong, UCLA’s chief of dermatology.

By the end of your “Skin Health” journey, you’ll have an understanding of proper sunscreen usage, what peptides can do for your face, and everything in between. Courtesy MasterClass

A MasterClass subscription, whichever level you get it at, is the key to becoming a more informed and well-rounded person, while chasing your passions and enriching your mind outside of that nine-to-five. This is something everyone wants more of in their lives, making MasterClass the great equalizer when it comes to shopping for your style-guru mom, beauty microinfluencer sister, wife who does the “morning shed” ritual each day like clockwork, and even the best friend-slash-holiday hostess who has expressed her wishes to pivot careers and become a designer (hey, anything is possible).

Don’t miss the moment and shop MasterClass memberships for half off, today only. Then proceed to click play on your newest hobby.
