Ready, Set, Stream!

We’re getting excited (really, really excited). Discovery+ is coming, and we can’t wait to stream all our favorite shows from the couch … under a blanket … with a candle burning and a cup of hot cocoa resting on our favorite coaster. Now if your anticipation is as real as ours, it may be time to prepare your what-to-watch-first list, because (trust us on this one) when January 4 rolls around, you’ll want to be prepared.

Home Town: Ben’s Workshop

It may be time for a family night with this one small-town charm and all. HGTV editors cannot wait to watch the Napiers in all their authentic, wood-working glory (and bring their spouses along for the ride). “I’m counting down the days,” says social media manager Dale Jolley. “I could watch Ben shape and refine the same piece of wood all day and never get tired of it. Plus, he’s one of the hardest working people on HGTV. The magic captured is all real.” Not to mention, Ben’s artistry combined with Erin’s skills makes for double the design magic. “I have a feeling after watching this show I’ll be inspired to build (*ahem,* ask my husband to build) some new pieces,” says editor Lauren Fansler.

Celebrity IOU

Maybe you need a little more Rainn Wilson in your life — Season 2, Episode 3, FYI — like HGTV Magazine copy editor Maude Campbell (“The Office reruns just aren’t doing it anymore.") Or maybe you need a happy cry. Either way, add Celebrity IOU to your binge-worthy index, immediately. “I’m watching the second season first, because I’m a not-so-secret Zooey Deschanel fan and she’s in the first new episode (you know why),” says Kelly Smith-Trimble, director of editorial for HGTV.com.

My Lottery Dream Home

If we can’t real-life hang with David Bromstad — iconic silk pajama sets and all — we’ll make do with streaming My Lottery Dream Home (for hours and hours). "I’ll be binging every season,” says Kathleen Knowles, editorial assistant for HGTV Magazine. “David's fun energy is unmatched. Plus, there’s nothing better than watching families find their dream homes."
