Though the holidays can be spent soft celebrating [1] with family and friends or by hosting a huge holiday rager, it's also a time when singles tend to be hornier than ever [2]. Whether it's because of the cold weather and people are craving a cuddle sesh or because their distant relatives won't stop asking questions about when they'll find a "special someone," December may just be one of the thirstiest times of the year. Fortunately, with it being cuffing season and all, dating apps [3] are piping hot.

But messaging first on a dating app [4] or sliding into your crush's Instagram DMs isn't always so simple. It requires more than just a "hi" or heart-eyes emoji if you want a response. You have to keep the message both flirty and friendly, but you also want it to show off your personality. What better way to do that than by sending a sexy holiday pickup line?

Everyone loves a good pickup line, especially when it has something to do with a mistletoe, Santa, or, ahem, "presents." Yes, they're silly and fun, but they also help you show some interest. If you need some ideas for what to send a Tinder match or a former ex you ran into at your local hometown bar [5], all the inspo you need is right here.

The Sexiest Holiday Pickup Lines

1. I'm interested in making tomorrow a not-so-silent-night. You in?

3. Let me know where you'll be in the next five minutes, and I'll place the mistletoe.
4. Aren't angels like you supposed to be on top of the tree?
5. Light me up like you do for that menorah, baby.
6. Are you Santa? Because I wouldn't mind you handling my package.
