Being back from college for a month with no homework can lead to having a lot of extra time on your hands. Here are ten classic shows to watch as you curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and a blanket this holiday season.
1. Riverdale
Many of you have probably heard of Riverdale, the mystery and romance centered show starring KJ Apa, Camila Mendes, Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse. This series will keep you on the edge of your seat as the group of friends sleuth out crimes, and bring justice to the small town they call home. It's only two seasons, so this show is pretty easy to binge. Plus, Cole Sprouse. What other reason do you need?
2. The Office
This show is truly a classic. Starring Steve Carell and John Krasinski, this comedy may truly be one of the funniest shows out there. From Dwight and Jim's feuds, to Pam and Jim's romance, to Michael Scott, this show will leave you laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Seriously, a must watch.
3. Gossip Girl
Originally aired on The CW, Gossip Girl follows the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite, (and Dan Humphrey) as they rule the Upper East side. This drama-filled series will reel you in. Between being exposed by a vicious social blogger to enough cat fights to last a life time, you are not going to want to miss this show.
4. Bob's Burgers
Following the hilariously hectic lives of the Belcher family, Bob's burgers will never fail to make you laugh. Although centered around fictitious cartoon characters this show is strangely relatable, and also just hella funny.
5. 90120
90210 follows the lives of a group of Beverly Hills teenagers as they encounter romance, drama, and of course, scandal. From unplanned pregnancies to crazy parties, this show will never fail to leave you wanting more.
6. New Girl
Starring Zooey Deschanel, this romantic comedy (emphasis on the comedy) follows the lives of Jess, Schmitt, Nick, Winston, Cece, and occasionally coach, as they make their way through adulthood in their shared loft. The quirky yet charming storyline of this Fox original will without a doubt keep you laughing, and make you fall in love with the characters. (Trust me, I've watched it three times.)
7. Awkward
This show definitely lives right up to its title, awkward. This show follows the hectic life of Jenna Hamilton as she makes her way through the series of unfortunate events that seem to be her high school experience. From mean girls to love triangles, this MTV original has it all.
8. One Tree Hill
One Tree Hill follows the lives of the citizens of Tree Hill North Carolina, a tiny basketball obsessed town with more than one dirty little secret. Estranged brothers, romance galore, and of course a killer basketball game or two, this show is a must see.
9. How I Met your Mother
Taking place in the greatest city in the world, (New York, of course) this series accounts the tales of Ted Moseby hunting down his future wife, and telling his children about how he did it. Accompanied by his best friends Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin, Ted searches endlessly for "the one," while of course stopping for a drink at MacLaren's.
10. Jane the Virgin
This rom-com made telenovela is a serious gem. Centered around the life of Jane Villanueva, a 23 year old virgin who finds herself pregnant after being accidentally artificially inseminated, this show follows the rollercoaster of a life that Jane leads. Between getting pregnant while engaged to another man, finding her estranged father, AND being amidst an ongoing series of crimes, it's safe to say that this show will not leave you yawning.
