5 things to binge-watch this weekend to get ready for winter

Oh baby, it's cold outside.

With that Polar Vortex returning across much of the U.S., things are about to get very chilly for many people. But when its cold outside that means there's an excuse to curl up inside with a fuzzy blanket, a cup of cocoa and all the TV and movies you can binge.

With winter rearing its ugly head again, we've rounded up five cold and/or snowy movies and TV shows to get you in the mood for hats, scarves and snow days.

If you think winter is the most beautiful season of all: Frozen Planet

Snow is very pretty if you don't have to drive through it. Celebrate the wonder and majesty of the colder parts of the Earth in the acclaimed BBC docu-series. If you can resist the cuteness of the penguins, you are stronger than we are.

Stream Frozen Planet on Netflix.

If you really want to appreciate it when your friends joke that "winter is coming": Game of Thrones

You've been meaning to watch Game of Thrones. You really have. There are just so many shows. And then everyone was talking about Westworld. And you know, life and stuff. But with most weekly shows going on a break for the holidays and Thrones not returning for its seventh season until later in 2017, now is the perfect time to just take the plunge. You'll finally know what White Walkers are.

Stream Game of Thrones on HBO Go.

If you're really worried about Climate Change: The Day After Tomorrow

We've already proven that this Roland Emmerich Global Warming-inspired disaster flick is a hidden classic. It also happens to be the perfect kind of movie to sort of half-watch while you fold laundry or bake cookies or finally clean your living room. Come for the dazzling special effects, stay for baby Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum.

Stream The Day After Tomorrow on Amazon with a Starz subscription.

If you can't wait for the Winter Olympics in two years: The Cutting Edge

We have two words for you if you've never seen the 90s ice-skating classic: "Toe pick!" The film, starring Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney, follows figure-skating pair made of a classically trained (if a little uptight) woman and former pro-hockey player who suffered an injury. There's ice, there's beautiful skating, and, of course, there's love.

Stream The Cutting Edge on Amazon.

If your favorite part of winter is getting unexpected time off: Snow Day

Remember Snow Day? The 2000 Nickelodeon movie starring Chevy Chase about, you guessed it, a snow day? It's a cheesy, over-the-top masterpiece of all the thing you love about kids movies. And it's just waiting for you to relive it.

Stream Snow Day on Netflix.
