Halloween is officially behind us, which means it's time to start looking forward to the holidays. For some, this time of year means a busy travel schedule, quality time with loved ones, and indulgent meals--but for those looking to stock up on pricey consoles or games for a fraction of the price, the holidays also mean it's time to start tracking all the major deals that begin rolling out in early November. Multiple retailers have already started to announce their Black Friday deals, and now Amazon is jumping into the fray with its Happy HoliDeals sale.

Amazon's early Black Friday deals went live on November 1 and will be available until November 22. At that time, they'll presumably be replaced by another round of deals in the final week leading up to Black Friday itself on November 29.

As with Prime Day, Amazon's holiday deals page includes a mix of Lightning Deals--which are only available for a limited time--and longer-term deals that should be available throughout the duration of this first round of deals (or while supplies last).

While the sale is currently light on game deals, there's a wide range of accessories for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC available along with tech and entertainment deals. Some of the most notable deals include six months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $45 (three-month membership plus three months free), a Nubwo gaming headset for $18.04 (down from $60), and a Motospeed mechanical gaming keyboard for $38.08 (down from $57). If you like owning your favorite movies in 4K UHD, there's a great bundle deal that lets you choose three 4K UHD films for $50 or less--and over 200 options are available. On that note, if you're on the hunt for a 4K TV this holiday season, some great options are already on sale, including this Samsung 55-inch 4K UHD TV for $698 (down from $1,198).

For now, check out some of the best gaming, tech, and entertainment deals from Amazon's HoliDeals sale below, and browse the full offering of deals across other categories like home, fashion, and electronics below.

Fire 7 Tablet | $30 ($50)

The Fire 7 tablet is Amazon's seven-inch tablet, both cheaper and less powerful than the Fire HD 8. It's equipped with 1 GB of RAM and comes in 16 GB and 32 GB storage options. It'll be available for $30 starting November 22.

Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote | $20 ($40)

On November 24, you'll also be able to pick up the regular Fire TV Stick for $20. This gives you the same access to all of your favourite apps but in 1080p instead of 4K. It also comes with an Alexa Voice Remote, so you'll be able to speak to your Fire TV Stick without fumbling with the buttons.

Fire TV Cube | $90 ($120)

Blink XT2 3 Camera Kit | $185 ($250)

Echo (Gen 3) | $60 ($100)

The Echo is a slightly-less compact speaker with better speakers, so if you're looking to use it more seriously as a music player, this could be a good choice for you. On November 28, its price goes down to $60.

Echo Show 5 | $50 ($90)

The Echo Show 5 is Amazon's compact smart display that works as an alarm clock, video caller, music and video player, and much more. It goes on sale for $50 on November 28.
