Oh, the sweet inspiration that comes right at the beginning of the year to become a better person. Dreams and goals fill minds in a rare attempt to better themselves, to be more driven, and to lose some weight.

The four artists, Drake, Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, and Sasheer Zamata take turns acting out their big plans for the new year. For some of the them, the plan is simple: it's time to cut back on the sweets. For others, it's time to stop drinking. Yet the video takes a turn with Pharoah having some fun with an inflatable doll and Drake cosplaying as a wizard.
