Each year some of our favorite lingerie brands—Skims, Victoria’s Secret, Hanky Panky, For Love & Lemons, and Fleur du Mal among them—unveil festive holiday intimates collections. And they’re filled with lace lingerie sets, balconette bras, sexy bodysuits, and cozy Christmas pajamas in rich colors and shiny satins.

Whether you’re drawn to delicate bralettes, garter belts, playful thongs, or babydoll dresses, these pieces make even your most routine nights feel a little more romantic. Ahead, discover the prettiest holiday lingerie to shop this season—for yourself or anyone on your gift list. But shop quickly, since many (like the latest drop from Skims) are limited-edition and will sell out fast.

Best holiday bras & bralettes

These festive bras span the spectrum from cozy to kinky. On the softer side are plaid and snowy white bralettes from Skims and Free People; for something bolder, push-up balconette and open-cup bras from Bluebella, Fleur du Mal, and Lane Bryant feature festive flourishes such as statement bows.

Best holiday lingerie sets

Holiday lingerie sets are among the most popular offerings this time of year, especially if you’re searching for special gifts for women. They feel indulgent and complete in a way that stand-alone pieces might not. Go the naughty route with a fur-trimmed Santa-themed chemise and thong, or try a Thirdlove garter belt with matching panties. Prefer something cozier? A lacy, bow-covered Skims camisole and shorts set delivers just as much charm.

Best holiday panties

If you’re someone who already invests in holiday socks or pajamas, it’s time to add panties to the mix. Freshen up your underwear drawer with festive new styles—think thongs and high-waist undies trimmed with satin ribbons, pom-poms, and rhinestones—that offer a fresh way to celebrate the season. The holidays are also the best time to snag underwear gift sets, like Hanky Panky’s cult-favorite thongs packaged in a bonbon-shaped box—how stocking-stuffer-appropriate!

Best holiday sleepwear

Ah, yes, pajamas: the most comfortable kind of lingerie, yet no less luxe. Take these Victoria’s Secret PJs, for instance—they’re made of soft, stretchy modal and feature a bow-tie top that reveals just a hint of skin. And how elegant is this red satin robe with subtle, shimmering stripes? (Someone buy this for us, please.)
