Ease Into the New Year with 12 Free Feel-Good Shows on Samsung TV Plus

Hi Huneybees,

Samsung TV Plus user interface on a Samsung Smart TV

The start of a new year doesn’t always have to be about hitting the ground running. Sometimes, the best way to welcome fresh beginnings is by slowing down and embracing quiet mornings, cosy evenings, and guilt-free downtime.

Whether you’re spending relaxed moments with your partner, gathering the family for easy entertainment, or simply carving out a little me-time after the holiday rush, there’s something deeply comforting about curling up on the couch and letting a great show set the tone for the year ahead.

If that sounds like your kind of reset, here’s a little discovery worth knowing about...

Samsung TV Plus offers a wide range of content streamed directly through compatible Samsung Smart TVs — completely free. All you need is a Samsung account and an internet connection, and you’re ready to explore everything from high-stakes culinary battles to romance-filled reality shows and fascinating myth-busting adventures.

To help you get started, here are 12 feel-good picks perfect for easing into 2026.

For Food Lovers and Culinary Dreamers

MasterChef

Watch passionate home cooks step into one of television’s most famous kitchens, where creativity meets pressure in a series of intense challenges. Guided by renowned chefs, contestants fight for the ultimate title and along the way, you’ll be treated to plenty of inspiring dishes and emotional moments.

Hell’s Kitchen

If you enjoy your cooking shows with a side of adrenaline, this one delivers. Aspiring chefs are pushed to their limits under the watchful eye of Gordon Ramsay as they compete for a prestigious head chef position. Expect fiery personalities, dramatic dinner services, and unforgettable kitchen showdowns.

Come Dine With Me

Charming, unpredictable, and often hilarious, this British favourite follows strangers competing to host the perfect dinner party. The mix of culinary ambition and candid commentary makes it irresistibly entertaining.

K-Food by CJ ENM

Take a delicious journey through Korean cuisine, from time-honoured recipes to modern interpretations. It’s equal parts cultural exploration and visual feast, especially for anyone dreaming about their next Korea getaway.

---

For Reality TV Fans and Social Strategists

World of Love Island

Sun, romance, and plenty of twists with singles paired up in a tropical villa. Public votes determine who stays and who goes. It’s the ultimate blend of escapism and relationship drama.

Survivor

Few reality shows have stood the test of time quite like this one. Contestants are dropped into remote locations where strategy, resilience, and social gameplay determine who outlasts the rest. Alliances shift, tensions rise, and every move matters.

---

For Curious Minds

MythBusters

Ever wondered whether viral myths hold any truth? This series combines science, experimentation, and humour to separate fact from fiction — often with explosive results.

Hot Ones

Celebrity interviews get a spicy upgrade as guests answer increasingly tough questions while tackling wings coated in progressively hotter sauces. Equal parts insightful and chaotic, it’s a format that never gets old.

---

For Game Show Enthusiasts

Deal or No Deal

Simple in concept but wildly suspenseful, contestants must decide whether to accept an offer from the mysterious Banker or risk it all for a bigger prize. Every choice keeps you guessing.

Eggheads

A true test of knowledge, challengers face off against some of Britain’s sharpest quiz champions. It’s tense, clever, and surprisingly addictive — you may find yourself shouting answers at the screen.

---

As viewing habits continue to evolve, accessibility matters more than ever. Samsung made waves as the first Original Equipment Manufacturer to introduce a FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) service in Singapore, offering viewers an easy way to enjoy live channels without subscription fees.

Since its launch, Samsung TV Plus has grown into a trusted destination for free entertainment, now featuring over 70 channels spanning movies, news, reality shows, and more.

For those looking to enjoy quality content without adding another monthly bill, it’s a refreshingly simple option - just switch on your TV and start watching. So if easing into the year with comfort, good stories, and effortless entertainment sounds appealing, Samsung TV Plus might just lead you to your next favourite show.

Pre-Order Your Samsung Galaxy Z Series 5G, Galaxy Watch5 Series and Galaxy Buds2 Pro Today

Hi Huneybees,

Samsung has just Unpacked and revealed their latest series of updates - The Galaxy Flip4 5G, Galaxy Z Fold4 5G, Galaxy Watch5 Series, and Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. I got to preview and play with the gadgets for a while and here's a little intro...

Samsung Galaxy Z Series 5G

Entering into the 4th generation, these foldable gadgets have been enhanced for better performances, to aid in your everyday life. They are Samsung's toughest foldable to date, with Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along and exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass.

The durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced thanks to the optimized layer structure, helping to reduce damage from external shock. They are equipped with IPX825 water resistance, so you don't have to worry if caught in the rain.

On top of that, there's also an array of new covers to protect your devices and also specific ones to house the S Pen for the Z Fold4.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G

The Galaxy Z Flip4 5G, maintaining its compact clamshell design, is now shorter and narrower than its previous version, with the inside border thinner for more screen space while you watch your favourite drama. The overall design has been refined with a slimmer hinge, straightened edges, contrasting hazed back glass, and glossy metal frames. The battery has also expanded to 3,700mAh for longer usage and with Super Fast Charging now supported on Z Flip4 5G, it can charge up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes.

Flip4 is fully customizable inside out, with Galaxy Themes on both Cover and Main Screen. You can make use of the custom fonts, icons, and designs to make the phone match your style, Plus, you

can create your own Cover Screen with new clock designs and backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs, and even video.

The Cover Screen has also been enhanced so now you can do more without even having to open the phone. There are new ways to theme it, with more widgets added,  so you can make calls, reply to texts (using speech to text), make payments with your mobile wallet, and even control the SmartThings Scene widget, all from the Cover Screen.

The photo capturing or video shooting experience has also been enhanced with a 10 MP Selfie Camera and 12 MP Wide and Ultrawide Rear Camera, equipped with a 65 percent brighter sensor powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform; your photos and videos will be crisper and more stable - day or night.

Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Z Flip4 5G to activate FlexCam and with Samsung’s partnership with Meta. FlexCam is also optimized for the most popular social platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.

You can also take high-quality selfies right from the Cover Screen by leveraging the main camera with the upgraded Quick Shot or shoot high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and

then seamlessly switch to Flex mode to continue recording hands-free without stopping the video allowing a more creative video transition. 

Something cool about the Flip phones is that you can preview from the Cover Screen how you look in the picture when your friend is helping you take a photo. On Flip3, the preview is only limited to the screen ratio, which means you are previewing the photo cropped, making it hard for you to pose correctly. But it is now solved and you are able to take selfies in Portrait Mode and see the preview in the actual photo ratio. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G

The Galaxy Z Fold4 5G has yet again proved to be a helpful, multi-tasking powerhouse with ultimate performance to aid in your daily work-life being the first device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences (2.7mm wider when closed and 3mm wider when opened) and , including foldables. It is Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to date, shape-shifting design, immersive displays, and PC-like multitasking features, in addition to advanced camera technology and powerful mobile processors.

Multitasking on Z Fold4 5G is now made easier than ever with the new Taskbar feature that provides a layout similar to your PC, offering access to your favourite and recent apps. You can also instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop, allowing you to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, you can connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together whilst on a video call.

Popular social media apps like Facebook are optimised for the large-screen experience to make

content more enjoyable. Or open your favourite streaming entertainment service apps like Netflix and watch hands-free with Flex mode. For non-optimised apps, users can even control the device without disrupting the content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad, offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode.

The photo taking and video experience has also been elevated with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom lens allowing you to play with a variety of camera modes, including the larger Zoom map activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie. And with the larger pixel size (a 23 percent brighter sensor), and enhanced processing power, you can capture clear images even at night!

Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G23. With the slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G comes in Bora Purple, Graphite, and new colours: Pink Gold, and Blue. Or go a step further and make it uniquely yours with the expanded Galaxy Z Flip4 5G Bespoke Edition where you can customize and play with the front and back panels and frames. 

Bespoke Edition colors are Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki, and Red and Frames come in Black, Silver, and Gold, you can combine up to 75 variations. There are also several covers for you to choose to protect your Flip4s too...

The Galaxy Z Fold4 5G is offered in refined colours that include Graygreen, Beige and Phantom Black. Additionally, it is available in Burgundy with additional storage capacity options up to one

terabyte, exclusively on Samsung Online Store.

The superior Hi-Fi 24bit Audio with the new Samsung seamless codec (SSC HiFi) and the new

coaxial 2-way speaker, makes the music and sounds richer and crystal clear. Turing on the 360 degree positional audio together with the built in native Dolby Atmos™ support, it's almost as though you are personally in the movie/video you are watching. I tried it at the preview and it was so phenomenal that you can hear the distance difference, where each sound is coming from and  even the differentiate the musical instruments used in the music!

When you need to answer an urgent call while enjoying a gaming session or a movie on your tablet, the Buds2 Pro can seamlessly switch the audio connection to your phone with a touch of a finger. Your calls on-the-go will not be disturbed by surrounding sounds with the powerful ANC and with Auto Switch, you can effortless transition from your favorite TV Show to take a call from your loved ones.
