Make sure Rudolph’s nose isn’t the only things lighting up this year with these seriously kinky ways to put some festive spice into your sex life.
While it may be the busiest time of the year, don’t forget to make time for some fun in Santa’s sack.
Here Durex sex and relationship expert Susan Quilliam gives us her top 12 X-rated Xmas sex tips to make the holidays more magical than ever.
12. Secret Santa
The build up to the big day is full of excitement as you wonder what Santa has stashed in his sack for you.
But if you want to build anticipation in the bedroom, there’s no better way than to use a blindfold.
Not being able to see what’s happening leaves you in suspense, every nerve on high alert. If you want to raise the excitement even more, try wearing ear plugs too.

Start by blindfolding your partner and then start to tantalise their body with a host of sexy sensations.
The festive season is the perfect time to experiment with a whole range of objects you won’t find during the rest of the year.
Trail tinsel across your lover’s naked body. Stroke erogenous zones with Christmas baubles (chilled in the fridge for extra impact). Scratch away gently with a holly leaf. Be sure to stop and start the stimulation to keep the element of surprise.
Or why don’t you play the traditional party game of Blind Man’s Bluff but with a twist?
One of you should wear the blindfold while the other hides somewhere in the house. Once found, then the fun begins.
If the blindfolded partner takes too long to find the hiding partner, or if the hiding partner gets found all too quickly, pay a sexual forfeit. Perhaps try delivering one-way pleasure for 10 minutes.
11. Naughty or nice?
Father Christmas only gives gifts to those who’ve been good. So how naughty or nice have you been this year?
Take it in turns with one of you playing Father Christmas, asking how well-behaved the other has been over the past twelve months. Father Christmas then delivers a reward – perhaps oral pleasure or sex in a position of your choice.
Punishment for bad behaviour might involve being tied up which often makes sensations more erotic.
Or it might involve being spanked – the stimulation brings nerve endings to life. Talk it through before you role play and always agree on a safe word so that either of you can stop at any time.
10. Mistletoe mischief
Our lips have 100 times more nerve endings than our fingertips so make sure you have a big bunch of mistletoe hanging in the hall.
Start kissing slowly with small pecks and gentle touching before gradually beginning to add tongues, outlining each other’s lips with the tip.
And if you’re partner likes it include some gentle bites. Don’t stop at the lips either. Land pecks on fingers, shoulders and ears.
Send them wild by smooching the side of the neck as that’s where you’ll find the vagus nerve. It’s linked to your genitals for a magical shiver.
For a even more sensual surprise try adding in an unexpected element.
Take a festive sip of champagne and dribble the bubbles into your lover’s mouth. Suck on a Christmas mint or chocolate-covered nut, passing it back and forth between you as you kiss.
9. Yuletide yearning
What if you’re not together during the festive season? There’re lots of ways to keep the arousal going.
Before your partner drives home for Christmas, write a series of sexy holiday cards to open for each day you’re apart. Then slip these into their luggage for them to find.
From steamy phone chats to sexting there’s plenty of ways to stay in touch.
When you do connect in private, you can make love together by describing what you’re doing, giving each other instructions and telling each other when to hold back.
On the other hand, it’s hugely arousing not to have sex for all the time you’re apart.
Instead, plan in detail what pleasure you’ll experience when you’re next together to make your reunion a truly wonderful celebration.
8. Christmas feast
Traditional festive food doesn’t just have to be for the big family meal it can be a sexy way to start your private celebrations too.
Start by sitting opposite one another, perhaps at a beautifully decorated table to set the scene, and eat with each other suggestively.
Then feed each other morsels of your favourite foods, alternating sweet with sour, hot with cold, crunchy with smooth.
Forget cutlery and use your hands. Hold out chestnuts or dried fruit for your partner to taste, dip your fingers into Christmas pudding or mince pie filling and let your partner lick it off.
Once you’ve finished your main meal, it’s time for dessert.
Create delicate snowflake patterns on her breasts with cake icing, trace the outline of a Christmas tree on his stomach with melted chocolate or fill each other’s belly buttons with boozy liqueurs. Then take it in turns to kiss, lick and suck the food off of one another’s bodies.
7. Writhe in the wrapping
When it comes to unwrapping each other before sex it’s typical to present yourself in your sexiest lingerie before it’s slowly removed.
For a seasonal variation on the theme there’s a lot you can do with a humble bit of wrapping ribbon.
Wind the ribbon round each other’s bodies, spiral it down arms and legs, criss-cross it around torso and hips, gently tie round her breasts and his testicles.
Trail or tie the ribbon between legs to nudge at her clitoris or his scrotum and tug gently for extra stimulation.
