Before March 26, you can take the Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori, then a local train to Aomori and the Hamanasu to Sapporo. Last possibl departure from Tokyo 18:20, arrival in Sapporo 06:07. From March 26, it will no longer be possible as night trains to Hokkaido will be discontinued.

As indicated at the bottom of the search result page, Hyperdia's information is presently valid until December 31. To obtain information for January, consult Hyperdia when it is updated, or some other source. That said, there should not be any major change.
