7 Best Netflix Shows to Binge When You’re Snowed In (Cozy Winter 2026 Picks)

Blizzard outside? Power flickers? Roads buried under white stuff? Perfect. Nothing beats curling up with a blanket, hot chai (or coffee), and a show that hooks you from episode one. Netflix has tons of binge-worthy gems right now; some thrilling, some funny, some downright addictive, that turn a snow day into a mini-vacation. No need to brave the cold. Just hit play and let the hours disappear.

Here are seven top Netflix shows to dive into when you’re officially snowed in. All are streaming now, multi-season (or easy to marathon), and guaranteed to keep you glued to the screen.

1. His & Hers

Right now, this one’s dominating Netflix charts, and for good reason. It’s a sharp, twisty drama about a couple whose perfect life unravels after one shocking secret. Think emotional rollercoaster with killer performances and cliffhangers that make you yell “one more episode!” at 2 a.m. Critics call it addictive; viewers agree. If you love messy relationships and suspense, start here. Seasons fly by fast.

2. Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials

Cozy crime at its best. This fresh three-part miniseries adapts a classic Agatha Christie mystery with modern flair: British wit, clever clues, and a murder that keeps you guessing. The cast shines, the pacing is spot-on, and it’s short enough to finish in one snowy weekend. Perfect if you crave that “whodunit” feeling without endless seasons. Fans of Knives Out-style puzzles will devour it.

3. Bridgerton (All Seasons)

Nothing says “escape the winter blues” like Regency-era romance, glittering balls, and steamy drama. The Bridgerton family is back (and Season 3 just keeps the magic going strong). Lavish costumes, swoon-worthy love stories, and enough scandal to warm you up. It’s pure comfort viewing; beautiful, escapist, and endlessly rewatchable. Grab tissues for the feels and snacks for the binge.

4. Black Mirror

Anthology magic for moody snow days. Each episode stands alone, so you can dip in and out based on your vibe. Tech-gone-wrong thrillers, dark satire, or mind-bending twists, Charlie Brooker’s series has six seasons packed with standout stories. Some will make you laugh, others will haunt you. Ideal when you want variety without committing to one long plot.

5. The Åre Murders

Snowy setting alert! This Swedish thriller drops you in a ski resort town where a missing teen sparks a tense investigation. Atmospheric, gripping, and full of winter vibes – think frosty landscapes and hidden secrets. The detectives’ chemistry pulls you in, and the mystery builds slowly but surely. Great pick if you want something chilling (literally) and immersive.

6. Only Murders in the Building (Seasons 1-4)

Light, funny, and murder-filled—exactly what a cozy snow day needs. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez play neighbors obsessed with true crime who accidentally solve real cases in their fancy NYC building. Witty banter, celebrity guests, paired with clever twists keep it fresh. Each season is a new mystery, so it’s easy to marathon. Laughs + suspense = perfect indoor escape.

7. Stranger Things

Nostalgia + supernatural thrills = ultimate binge fuel. Kids (now teens/young adults) battle monsters, government secrets, and the Upside Down in Hawkins. The 80s vibes, killer soundtrack, and epic ensemble cast make it addictive. With multiple seasons, you can sink in for hours. It’s thrilling without being too scary; great for groups or solo viewing under a blanket fort.

Bonus tip: Pair these with hot chocolate/tea/coffee, dim lights, and zero guilt about staying in pajamas all day. Netflix’s algorithm will suggest more once you finish one, so the binge never really ends. Snow days aren’t just for shoveling, they’re for stories that transport you. Which show are you starting first? Drop your pick in the comments. I’d love to know what keeps you company during the storm!
