Season 13 (with exactly none of the 12 previous stars married to their final rose recipient to date) of The Bachelor promises to bring more surprises and magic than ever when the ABC hit returns on January 5.

Jason Mesnick's search for love includes:

• Whisking a woman away on a private getaway to Las Vegas for a panoramic helicopter ride over Red Rock Canyon
• A cozy dinner and a performance by pop singer Kate Voegele
• Advice from General Hospital stars Bradford Anderson and Kirsten Storms, who treat Jason and six women to a behind-the-scenes look at the soap opera
• A private performance by R&B superstar Robin Thicke
• A ride over the Los Angeles area in a Goodyear blimp
• Much, much more!
