Universal Audio has announced a Holiday giveaway in which you can choose a UAD plugin from a selection of 10 for free for Christmas 2025.
Just in time for Christmas, the season of giving, UAD has launched another giveaway.
Following the free plugin offered during Black Friday, Universal Audio is giving away another free plugin as part of its holiday giveaway.
Universal Audio Holiday Giveaway
To benefit from the Holiday Giveaway, you need a UAD account to register your free plugin. In the next step, you can choose your free plugin from a selection of 10 plugins, using the coupon code HOLIDAYFREEBIE at checkout.
The 10 available plugins are the same as in the Black Friday giveaway. Please don’t select the same plugin again:
- 1176 Classic FET Compressor
- Century Tube Channel Strip
- Galaxy Tape Echo
- Oxide Tape Recorder
- PolyMAX Synth
- Pultec Passive EQ Collection
- Pure Plate Reverb
- Showtime ‘64
- Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor
- Verve Analog Machines Essentials
A subtractive Synthesizer, classic effects, or a helpful mixing and mastering tool. The Holiday Giveaway menu has something for everyone, whether you are taking your first steps in music production or you are a pro.
If you don’t already have a UAD Synthesizer, I would recommend the PolyMAX synth; otherwise, the Roland Space Echo 201 emulation is also a great choice.
If you prefer the sound of vintage analog gear, consider the Verve Analog Machines Essentials. It’s a straightforward plugin with four machines that adds analog-style sound to your recordings.
Some of these plugins are regularly available for free, but others haven’t been available before. So it’s worth participating.
The Universal Audio Holiday Giveaway is valid until December 31, 2025. Use the code HOLIDAYFREEBIE on the special page, using the link below. It is limited to one participation.
They run as a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows.

Ugh. Because they’ve changed the names slightly for the giveaway, you can’t hide the plugins you already own. So much repetition and filler…
