So light a fire, ignore the family group chat, and let’s get merry.
Why Holiday Sex Hits Harder (In a Good Way)
Before we get into the best sex positions, let's talk about why this time of year makes for next-level intimacy.
1. Time Off = More Time On
No morning meeting. No school drop-offs. Just extra time to explore each other's bodies.
2. Seasonal Nostalgia = Emotional Foreplay
The holidays bring up memories, feelings, and a weird urge to cry during commercials. That emotional openness? It can deepen your connection and turn sex into something more meaningful, or at least more experimental.
3. You're Wearing Layers
More clothes to peel off. More anticipation. And if your holiday pajamas have a butt flap? Even better.
Mistle-blow or Go: The Best Sex Positions for Holiday Heat
This is what you came for. Literally.
1. The Blanket Burrito
For those cozy, lazy mornings where the idea of leaving bed is laughable. Both partners stay wrapped in blankets. One person spoons. The other gets spooned. Movements are slow, grinding, and warm. This one works with bodies of all shapes, sizes, and orientations. Bonus points if you keep the socks on.
2. Sleigh Ride Straddle
Partner A sits on a sturdy chair (or edge of the bed). Partner B climbs on top. This is a face-to-face ride with deep eye contact and better rhythm control. One of the best sex positions for those who like closeness but still want to steer the sleigh.
3. The Tinsel Twist
Think of this as your standing position, upgraded. One partner leans against a wall or window (steamy glass optional). The other enters from behind or in front depending on anatomy. Add a leg lift for balance if you're feeling bold. Good for quickies between rounds of mulled wine or during suspiciously long trips to the garage.
4. Candy Cane Curve
An angled position great for deeper penetration or creative toy placement. Partner A lies back with hips propped up on a pillow. Partner B kneels or stands. This position hits different with the right lube and a good grip.
5. The Snow Angel Spread
Flat on the bed, legs open wide, and plenty of access. Excellent for oral, partnered play, or solo toy time. Works well if you’re flexible or want to pretend you are. This one is all about visibility and vibe.
Best Sex Positions That Don’t Wake the Entire House
You know the situation. You’re staying at someone else’s house. Paper-thin walls. Guests in every room. That doesn’t mean you have to be celibate.
Side-by-Side Sizzle
Lie face to face or spoon-style. Movements are minimal but sensations can be intense. A great way to stay quiet while still getting loud in your head.
The Gift Wrap
Bodies are intertwined, arms and legs wrapped tight. Not a lot of range of motion, but what you lose in movement you make up for in closeness. Plus, it looks romantic as hell in candlelight.
Stocking Stuffer Slide
One partner sits. The other grinds in close, keeping pressure and rhythm tight. Ideal for toy incorporation and prolonged pleasure. You’ll look like two decorative pillows stacked on a bed. You’ll feel like fire.
Bringing Toys (and Popstar Products) to the Party
Let’s be honest. Even the best sex positions are better with lube, stamina, and volume you can actually brag about.
Popstar Delay Spray is your secret weapon when the festivities get a little too exciting too fast. Want to stay in the moment longer? This will help you sleigh all night.
Popstar Volume + Taste Supplement gives your body the nutrients it needs to produce more impressive volume. And the taste upgrade? Consider it a holiday gift for your partner.
Popstar Personal Lubricants make every slide smoother, whether you’re flying solo, going toy-heavy, or exploring more ambitious positions like the Chimney Climb. (You’re welcome.)
Quickie Ideas for Naughty List Types
No time for a full session? That’s fine. Try these in-between moments:
Against the Washing Machine
During that emergency load of guest towels. Bounce included.
Car Quickie (Parked, Please)
Make sure the windows are foggy for the full rom-com effect.
Behind the Tree
Only recommended if you live alone. Or if your roommates are very, very cool.
The Best Sex Positions for Post-Dinner Laziness
No one is flipping upside down after stuffing and pie. Go for gentle, pressure-based options like:
Spooning with slow grinding
Missionary with elevated hips
Seated lap play with gentle rocking
You’re not lazy. You’re digesting. With style.
Conclusion: Get Merry However You Do It
There’s no “one right way” to have great holiday sex. The best sex positions are the ones that make you feel good, safe, and excited to be naked when it’s freezing outside. Whether you're all about close cuddles or upside-down tinsel acrobatics, the season is the perfect excuse to get festive between the sheets.
FAQ: Best Sex Positions for Holiday Fun
What are the best sex positions for holiday stress relief?
The Blanket Burrito and Side-by-Side Sizzle are both low-effort and high-pleasure, perfect for melting away seasonal stress.
Which sex positions work best in cold weather?
Anything involving blankets, body heat, or face-to-face contact works wonders. Try Sleigh Ride Straddle or Gift Wrap for extra warmth.
Can the best sex positions help with stamina issues?
Absolutely. Positions that allow for rhythm control like Candy Cane Curve or Stocking Stuffer Slide can help with endurance. Add Popstar Delay Spray for even more control.
How do I make sex more enjoyable if I’m staying with family?
Stick to quiet, close-contact positions like spooning, or use toys that don’t require a lot of movement. Lube helps. So does locking the door.
What are the best sex positions for different body types?
All of the ones listed can be adapted for any body. Use pillows for support, try different angles, and don’t force anything that doesn’t feel good.
What’s the best sex position for a strong orgasm?
Depends on your body. For penetration, try Candy Cane Curve or Tinsel Twist. For external stimulation, Snow Angel Spread or Stocking Stuffer are great.
Should I use lube even if I feel ‘ready’?
Yes. Lube reduces friction, improves sensation, and helps prevent microtears or irritation. It also just feels better. Popstar lube is a great choice.
Can I use these positions solo?
Definitely. Snow Angel, Candy Cane Curve, and Sleigh Ride Straddle all work beautifully with toys or hands. Self-gifting counts.
