The 10 Best Holiday Covers from Playboy Magazine 

The long, dark nights and freezing cold days of winter can be tough to weather for anyone, especially as the end of the holiday season draws near. To get through the slog of the snowy months, some of us turn to warm fires, some to cozy blankets, and some to a well-timed hot toddy to soothe the soul. Here at Playboy, we have another way to stay warm when things are icy: a romp through our archives never fails to heat things up.

In honor of the coldest months of the year, we rounded up some of our best holiday covers from the past to keep the seasonal cheer going. Whether it’s a holiday stunner or a sexy Santa suit, our Playmates and cover stars bring some much-needed warmth to this holiday season. These mistletoe moments and shiny ornaments are inspiring our jingle bell joy well through the end of the year.

A warm bath always does the trick on a cold winter day. Miss December Eugena Washington gets sudsy on this 2015 cover.

Santa lent his suit to us for this rendering.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a bunny.
