Christmas has come and gone. You socialized. You partied. You ate too much and possibly drank too much. The proper recourse to all of that schmoozing and boozing? No talking. To anyone. Until winter lifts.
Enter Netflix and hibernation to make life great again. Here are some highlights of what to watch in January:
Movies:
"Bring It On" β Available Jan. 2
Millennials, where you at? If you grew up in the 2000s, there's a chance you attempted cheerleading routines, a la "Bring It On," even if you had never formed a human pyramid before. Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" video recently immortalized this cult classic, so if you wanted to get a proper recap of the movie in full, Netflix's got you.
"The Bourne Supremacy" β Available Jan. 2
The first four Jason Bourne movies are hitting Netflix: "The Bourne Identity," The Bourne Supremacy," "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "The Bourne Legacy." So, your first weekend in the new year is pretty much covered. Watch Matt Damon as Jason Bourne (and Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross) in exhilarating car chases and show-stopping sequences.
"My Best Friend's Wedding" β Available Jan. 2
Julia Roberts is always delightful to watch. In this 1997 film, Roberts plays Julianne, who realizes she's in love with her best friend three days before his wedding, so she tries to sabotage it in various ways. And if you can't get enough of this Pretty Woman, Netflix is also adding "Mona Lisa Smile" on January 1.
TV:
"Tidying Up With Marie Kondo" β Available Jan. 1
She of "if-it-doesn't-bring-you-joy, toss-it" fame, Marie Kondo, is here to help you declutter and find joy. The Japanese cleaning consultant is featured in this series of inspiring home makeovers.

Meet Otis Milburn: an inexperienced, socially awkward high school student who lives with his mother, a sex therapist.
