People across the UK are preparing to swap their party heels for a pair of slippers as they give traditional New Year's Eve celebrations a miss in favour of a night in at home.
Positive Covid tests, the threat of Omicron and nightclub closures in Wales and Scotland means millions will be facing a quiet night in, while Boris Johnson has urged those who are going out to celebrate responsibly.
While being tucked up in your pyjamas at midnight might not be the most glamorous way to ring in 2022, a blockbuster selection of film and TV shows means there is still plenty to enjoy even if you're not leaving your sofa.
Whether you want to hold a living room soiree with Jools' Annual Hootenanny (11.25pm, BBC2) or are in search of a bit of escapism from the year that has been (Indiana Jones, anyone?), there is something to suit every stay-at-home plan.
Here, FEMAIL offers up some of the best films and TV programmes on offer across BBC1, ITV, Channel 4 and streaming services so you can find your perfect match this New Year's Eve.

AMAZON PRIME
BEING THE RICARDOS (2021)
Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem play Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Aaron Sorkin's feast of a film, which digs into their fiery relationship during one particularly tense week of filming on I Love Lucy – in which she was accused of being a Communist, and he of being unfaithful.
There are clunky lines as it gets going, but the cast is so full of powerhouse performers, and Sorkin is such a master of behind-the-scenes drama (The Newsroom, The West Wing, etc), that you're never less than riveted.
A great spectacle from start to finish.
YEARLY DEPARTED

THE BIG SHORT (2021)
Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling front a starry, offbeat dramatisation of the build-up to the financial crisis of 2007-08.
PAY MOVIES
Spencer (2021) 12
(BT Film Store, Sky Store, Virgin)
Kristen Stewart is superb as Princess Diana in this highly stylised, fictionalised and borderline horrific portrait of a Windsor family Christmas at Sandringham in 1991. It's from the director of Jackie, and hinges around Diana's decision to leave the royal family.
Candyman (2021) 15
(BT Film Store, Sky Store, Virgin)
Christmas is traditionally a time for creepy stories and this stylish, stand-alone sequel to the urban legend movies is certainly unsettling. Jordan Peele (Get Out) produces a socially conscious take on the horror of a man who murders people after they repeat his name in a mirror. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars.
Mothering Sunday (2021) 15
(BT Film Store, Sky Store, Virgin)
Rich and romantic drama about a writer's awakening, based on Graham Swift's novel set in the 1920s. The cast, led by Odessa Young and including Olivia Colman and Colin Firth, is top-drawer.
NETFLIX
Queer Eye (Season 6)
The life makeover gurus bring their heartfelt advice to the state of Texas for this new series. Expect tears of joy and sadness from those they help and, probably, plenty of cowboy attire on the boys – it is Texas, after all.
Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material
The comedian pulls no punches in this stand-up special, in which he tackles vaccines and mansplaining, and delivers jokes he describes as 'career-enders'. Carr (left) spares no blushes with his language, either, so it would be wise to keep young ears out of the room.
Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer
The gritty true-crime show profiles convicted US serial killer Richard Cottingham, who is known to have killed 11 people between 1967 and 1980 – but claims to have murdered up to 100.
Stay Close (All eight parts)
Seemingly happy people with dark pasts are a mainstay of Harlan Coben thrillers, and this latest example is no exception. Cush Jumbo stars as a working mum with a secret, James Nesbitt is a detective after a missing man, and Richard Armitage is a photographer with unsettling images. Strap in for the twists.
The Lost Daughter (2021)
Maggie Gyllenhaal's writer-director debut is dark and sublime, and a big Oscar hope for Netflix. Olivia Colman stars as a prickly mum with a sad past; Jessie Buckley plays her in the flashbacks that explain why, and does so seamlessly – despite looking little like Colman.
Don't Look Up (2021)
A comedy about how people will do anything to ignore bad news, in which two scientists (Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio, looking as drab as is possible) try to tell everyone that the end is nigh. Meryl Streep's US President is one unwilling ear.
Emily In Paris
This breezy US drama about an American abroad is sneered at by some, but it's also hugely popular, and makes for cosy viewing. In the new season, Emily (Lily Collins) makes more of an effort to understand the French – and French – and has a new love interest.
