Exciting New Shows Coming to The Home Channel in January 2026
The Home Channel is kicking off January 2026 with a fresh slate of exciting, brand-new programming designed to inspire, entertain, and delight viewers.
Leading the lineup is Holiday Homes in the Sun, a cheerful property-hunting adventure that scours Europe for the ultimate mortgage-free getaway. Each episode transports viewers to a new location—from sunny Spain to coastal Croatia—as hosts Amanda Lamb, J.B. Gill, and Sam Pinkham compete to uncover the perfect holiday rental. With humour, breathtaking scenery, and a final twist in every episode, the series offers both wanderlust and practical travel inspiration.
Jamie’s Quick & Easy Food returns as a go-to guide for effortless, flavour-packed cooking. Jamie Oliver serves up easy-to-remember recipes, starting with pesto chicken, ’nduja vongole, sausage bake, and more. The series moves through hearty meats, comforting pastas, crispy seafood dishes, and inventive five-ingredient meals like smoky chorizo salmon and artichoke al forno. Jamie rounds it all off with globally inspired plates boasting Asian, Arab, and Indian flavours.
In Château DIY, viewers follow courageous château owners across France as they attempt monumental renovation projects. Each episode highlights three different restoration journeys—complete with overgrown gardens, sagging floors, and crumbling turrets—as determined homeowners turn worn castles into storybook masterpieces. The show delivers all the emotional highs, lows, and grand reveals of true fairytale transformations.
South African flair takes centre stage in Home Styled, where expert designers breathe new life into everyday spaces. Whether tackling blank rooms or long-overdue refreshes, the team guides homeowners from moodboards to magical makeovers, proving that the right décor can turn bedrooms, lounges, studies, and patios into extraordinary spaces.
Gardening lovers will revel in Love Your Garden, where Alan Titchmarsh and his expert team travel the country to explore some of the most spectacular and inspiring gardens. Along the way, they meet passionate creators and share practical, accessible tips to help viewers cultivate their own outdoor sanctuaries.
A refreshing approach to wellness arrives with The Healthful Life. Comedian and aspiring health enthusiast Jahannah James enlists experts to help her navigate cleaner living—from gluten-free cooking to stress reduction and skincare. While nutritious dishes bake in the oven, the show digs into wellness topics with humour, honesty, and actionable advice.
In Living by Design, sibling duo Jake and Jazz Smollett transform the living, working, and play spaces of millennial families. With sharp eyes for fashion, food, and design, they tackle everyday dilemmas—from nursery makeovers to home office upgrades—helping turn simple houses into stylish, functional homes.
Rounding out the lineup is The Gardener & Friends, an engaging gardening series led by South Africa’s beloved green-thumb, Tanya Visser. Set against stunning landscapes, Tanya and her industry friends showcase inspiring gardens, share creative DIY projects, and offer practical guidance for gardeners of all levels—whether viewers want to grow vibrant veggies or build striking outdoor features.
