Baby, it’s cold outside – but your love life doesn’t have to be. 

Just like our Mentionables summer and fall sex bucket list ideas, we’re back with a winter/Christmas edition packed with some extra festive fun. We tried to cut the list down… but just couldn’t decide… so, you’re getting two extra sexy bonuses this time!

These sex bucket list ideas mix cozy fireside cuddles, flirty lingerie, mistletoe moments, and dreamy holiday adventures that make staying in way more tempting than going out. Of course, we’ve sprinkled in a few ultra-dreamy outings you’ll definitely want to add to your list, too.

Whether you’re snowed in, wrapping gifts, or finding creative ways to stay warm together, these ideas will keep your connection (and your temperature) rising all season. 

Ready to check off a few of these sexy bucket list ideas? Let’s make this winter one to remember.

Sex Bucket List Idea #1: Snowed-In Staycation

Kicking off our winter sex bucket list ideas with a timeless favorite – one that’s great year-round, but feels extra dreamy when the world outside is frosty. Think lazy mornings, warm sheets, and a little extra time to savor each other in bed. Share breakfast in bed, then move on to the real treat (wink). 

Even if you have to fake a snow day (rainy weather works, too), here’s how to make your staycation so good you’ll want to put it on repeat:

• Treat yourselves to comfort food – think pancakes, bacon, toast, hot chocolate, or cinnamon rolls for breakfast, save mac and cheese or grilled cheese with tomato soup for later.
• Light the fireplace (or queue up a crackling sound with candles) to set the mood. 
• Make one simple rule: no phones, no work – just connection, cuddles, and plenty of heat.

Sex Bucket List Idea #2: Mistletoe Makeout Marathon

The next on our sex bucket list ideas is just pure fun – with a little mischief. Break out the mistletoe, get those lips ready (maybe freshen your breath, too), and let the holiday smooches speak for themselves. See how long you can make each kiss last before the laughter (or heat) takes over. 

Use these tips to transform a simple kiss into something a little more magical:

• Hang the mistletoe in a doorway, above the bed, or anywhere you want a spontaneous kiss (the more unexpected the place, the better).
• Pucker up and try different types of kisses – quick pecks, lingering grazes, or cheeky little nibbles.
• Keep it playful: sneak kisses while moving around, dancing, or doing holiday prep.
• Let it lead somewhere cozy; a cuddle session, or slip into classy lingerie and pair it with one of your other winter sex bucket list ideas.

Sex Bucket List Idea #3: Sensual Snow Shower

Nothing beats a hot, steamy shower on a cold day – except maybe sharing it with your partner for some extra heat. As a top pick from our winter sex bucket list ideas, this one combines warmth, playfulness, and a little holiday fun. Slip into some tasteful lingerie, let the water run, and enjoy.

Here are ways to make this shower anything but ordinary, and perfectly festive for the season:

• Set the scene with festive tunes, scented candles, and maybe a sprig of mistletoe (hint, this is a perfect way to incorporate our previous mistletoe winter sex bucket list idea). 
• Wash each other with soft hands or a gentle sponge for an intimate touch. Bonus: Make it merry and steamy with holiday-scented soaps – peppermint, cranberry, gingerbread, or, of course, sugar plum. 
• Add passionate kisses, soft nuzzles, or breathy whispers while the shower steam rises.
• Take your wintery shower up a notch – check out our best shower sex positions guide for our top tips to keep it fun, safe, and oh-so-pleasurable.

Sex Bucket List Idea #4: Secret Santa… With a Twist

Who says gift-giving has to stay PG? 

Start a new tradition this year and do a spicy Secret Santa gift exchange with your partner. If you’re new to Secret Santa, here’s the gist: secretly swap gifts, unwrap them together, and enjoy the surprises. Pick a theme—sexy, playful, or just plain unexpected. Bring your Secret Santa game to the bedroom with this sex bucket list idea that’s sure to land you on his “nice” list.

Let the anticipation build as you unwrap each other’s “secrets” one playful gift at a time:

• Fill a stocking with sensory items like feathers, blindfolds, a grapefruit (IYKYK), or lingerie (see our sensory sex ideas for inspo and what to do with them).
• Slip in edible treats like chocolate body paint, whipped cream, or flavored pasties for playful taste-testing.
• Include a sexy dare or fantasy for your partner to unwrap and act out.
• Wrap gifts with flirty clues and take turns guessing – and enjoying – whatever you uncover. (Psst, our sex positions card deck makes a perfect addition to your naughty Secret Santa, just saying…)

Sex Bucket List Idea #5: The Ice and Fire Game

This season of hot cocoa and chilly nights is perfect for heating things up and cooling them down. Temperature play is one of those sex bucket list ideas that makes every touch feel new, exciting, and delightfully naughty.

Here are some creative ways to try out your own Ice and Fire Game:

• Glide ice cubes along your partner’s skin for a teasing chill.
• Follow with warm breath or body heat to create a thrilling contrast.
• Carefully drip a small amount of melted wax for a mix of heat and sensation.

Sex Bucket List Idea #6: Fireside Storytime

Nothing says cozy winter nights like curling up by the fire with a good book – but since this is all about sex bucket list ideas, let’s turn up the heat by reading something steamy to each other instead. Warm up your winter nights with a little literary flirtation because words can be foreplay, too. 

Let the sparks fly and the tension build as you turn storytime into foreplay with these flirty ideas:

• Light the fireplace (or candles), cuddle up under a blanket, and set the mood with soft, sultry, and sexy music.
• Choose a romance novel (to your comfort level), short story, or one of the examples on the Ultimate Intimacy app.
• Take turns reading something you’ve written about each other’s desires or fantasies.
• Add a playful twist by revisiting flirty texts you’ve sent each other for a personal touch.

Let’s turn a Hallmark movie “meet cute” into something naughtier with this one. 

Skating, laughter, a near fall, and a kiss that melts the chill. This After-Skate Warm-Up is one of those cozy sex bucket list ideas that turns a snowy date into playful heat – and the real fun begins once you head inside.

Turn that post-skate glow into something extra with these playful suggestions:

• Steal flirty kisses and hold hands while skating – maybe even a playful tumble or two.
• Share sips of hot chocolate or apple cider between laps (or once you’re back inside) –  bonus points for feeding each other.
• Cuddle under blankets, pressing close and letting hands wander teasingly as you warm up.
• Give each other playful massages to soothe sore muscles – and let the cozy touches gradually turn up the heat.

This is a romantic, fantasy experience and definitely one of our most memorable sex bucket list ideas. And even after the jingling sleigh bells stop, the magic doesn’t have to end.

• Take turns revealing flirty truths or completing cheeky dares while snuggled together.
• Feed each other chocolate, candy canes, or popcorn blindfolded for a playful, sensual twist.
