This is probably a little late. I've been kinda busy lately.
Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!
Good luck with your New Year Resolutions.
Hopefully one (or more) of them has to do with getting better at playing the piano. Best wishes from me.
One piece of advice, practice as much as you can.

Warm ups
There are some exercises you can play to warm up your fingers (especially when the weather is cold). This is very good and helpful, but not so fun after a while.
What's the shortcut for this?
Well, get yourself a bucket (or whatever you can find to store water with) of warm water, put your hands in there and start moving your fingers.
Do this for a about 30 seconds and use a towel to dry off your hands (or your shirt, etc.).
Now sit down and play. Don't stop to take breaks though, because you would have to warm your hands up again.

Which song should I play?
It depends on your skill level.
But really, if you want to play a song, just get your mind set to do it.
It's much easier to play something you like than something easy but you don't really like it.
Find a song you love, maybe a theme song from a movie? Something you heard when you were little? Anything, as long as it's what you want.
How is this a shortcut?
Well, most of the times, piano teachers will force you play certain songs/exercises you don't like.
In my opinion, it's really painful to learn it that way.
