After a grueling election week, it’s time to recharge.

While the election has been exciting and monumental, it was also emotionally draining – not to mention COVID-19 cases are on the rise again. You may feel inclined to turn the news back on and follow pushback from President Donald Trump on the race results, but it may be better to turn on a happy show instead.

Here’s a compilation of videos, episodes and accounts that could help lift your spirits this week:
