Settle in: TV shows to binge-watch over winter break
Wicked Local
It’s winter break, and there’s a lot of snow on the ground, and there s also a pandemic. This is a recipe for staying home and indoors and catching up on TV shows you may have missed. We’ve got you covered.
“I typically go into binge-watch mode this time of year because I dislike the cold but still get stir-crazy,” Bryan McGonigle, Wicked Local journalist covering North Andover, Georgetown and Newburyport, writes. “Now that this holiday season includes a pandemic making it safer to stay home, I’ve probably watched half of all Netflix and HBO have to offer. Schitt’s Creek, Mindhunter and Lovecraft Country are three of my favorites from this year.”

It s the
Sugar Rush we know and love, but with a festive twist. Teams race against the clock, and each other, to create the best Christmas-themed treats in the second season of this
Sugar Rush spin-off.
WHAT WE THOUGHT:
Sugar Rush in the bag and one season of
Sugar High, we ve now been blessed with the second season of
Sugar Rush Christmas.
The concept of the show remains the same - four teams of bakers go head-to-head competing against time, and each other, to complete three rounds of challenges, with the aim of winning the $10 000 cash prize.
Each episode has a specific theme, like the North Pole or Charlie Brown, to help keep things interesting.
