On your last day of vacation, let HGTV help you put your feet up and enjoy some hermit time with some good ol' fashioned TV binging. Here's what's lined up for you all day New Year's Day on HGTV. 

Rose Parade - 11a|10c

Nancy O’Dell joins Drew and Jonathan Scott to host the annual New Year’s Day floral festivities in Pasadena. This year’s parade theme is “Making a Difference,” and the Brothers and Nancy will provide behind-the-scenes commentary for the unique floats, marching bands and equestrian units.  

Caribbean Life - 1p|12c
Bahamas Life - 2p|1c
Island Life - 3p|2c

Been dreaming of leaving winter parkas behind in favor of year-round humidity and island time? Live vicariously through the mainland families uprooting their lives for affordable beachfront paradises on back-to-back episodes of Caribbean Life, Bahamas Life and Island Life.

How Close Can I Beach? - 4p|3c

Continuing the unofficial New Year’s Day theme of “Beach, Please,” buyers see how much their money can get them in various locations on How Close Can I Beach? While a house directly on the water is obviously ideal, buyers find out how much more house they can enjoy just a short walk or bike ride away.

Paradise Bargain Hunt - 5p|4c

Resort towns aren’t always out of reach for planting roots. The couples and families on Paradise Bargain Hunt search for homes within their budget in domestic locales like Palm Beach, Florida, and Vail, Colorado, and are pleasantly surprised by their options.

It’s here! 2018’s HGTV Dream Home property in Gig Harbor, Wash., is a sight to behold, and Big Beach Builds host Marnie Oursler is ready to take you on the grand tour. Go behind the scenes to see how the totally renovated modern, waterfront home just outside of Seattle came together.
