When it's cold outside, make sure your bedroom's sizzling hot with some fabulous holiday lingerie.

Whichever colour lingerie you choose, a touch of lace overlay adds naughtiness and sophistication. Multiway lace overlay bra ($39.95) and lace overlay thong panty ($19.95) by La Vie En Rose. (Supplied)

Sometimes feeling groovy is all about comfort. We dig this soft-and-chic bow T-shirt and polka dot bottoms for relaxing nights in over the holidays ($39 each, jacob.ca). (Supplied)

Subtle but sexy, this soft and sensuous cami and shorts set by Eberjey Butterfly ($90 and $55 respectively, Holt Renfrew) clings in all the right places while offering a little cover-up, too. (Supplied)

Robes are a great gift idea because figuring out her size is a lot less complicated than with other lingerie. The important thing is to match the fabric to her needs: Does she often say she's too warm? Then opt for jersey instead of terry cloth or plush. This guazy cotton printed robe with a lace trim ($97.43, freepeople.com) is an elegant choice. (Supplied)

For women who prefer to go wire-free, this triangle bra ($19.99, hm.com/ca) has lots of pizazz and festive sparkle. Unless she's very petite, be sure to size up on the bra and matching mesh briefs ($12.94), as H&M intimates tend to size a little small. (Supplied)

This might not cover up much at all, but it's a gorgeous way to wrap up your body on Christmas morning. Frilly Jersey Cover Up ($80) and Lace Thong ($15) by Dear Frankie. (Supplied)

A cover-up doesn't have to be modest - or, in fact, cover much up. This satiny kimono with scallop lace ($49.50, lasenza.com) is sexy on its own or as wrapping for something truly scandalous. A silky robe is also a lovely indulgence for oneself. Add a bubble bath and a glass of wine and you've really got something. (Supplied)

Rompers aren't for every woman - even this gorgeous one ($68, anthropologie.com) should only be considered as a present if she's worn a playsuit before. (Supplied)

For a flattering but festive hue - and detour from red - try glowing in green. Very Sexy Garden lace push-up bra and matching thong ($55 and $22 respectively, victoriassecret.com). (Supplied)

For women wanting to start the new year with a little "oomph," we suggest Calvin Klein's CKU push positive bra ($49, thebay.com). It's supportive and wire free (an unusual combination), comfortable all day long and creates Lara Stone-worthy cleavage. (Supplied)

If you're not sure what she likes, a few sexy separates will hit the spot. Try varying styles and colours. We like this GapBody Sexy Lace Tanga ($14.40). (Supplied)

For lingerie as colourful as your Christmas decorations, dip into a multi-coloured boxed set. Choose from a variety of materials and styles, such as these original rise and low rise sets by Hanky Panky ($66-$99), exclusive to Holt Renfrew. (Supplied)

You don't have to stick to lingerie for a sensuous Christmas treat. Try a soft Classic 100% Silk Eye Mask ($45) or sex-up your bedding with Crepe De Crimson Lustrous Silk Pillowcases (starting at $69). Both items by Cilque. (Supplied)

Make the most of the candlelight with a blue and white lingerie set like this Dream Angels lace demi bra and matching thong ($65 and $14.50 respectively, victoriassecret.com). (Supplied)

If you're not sure when it comes to size, a chemise like this Cherry Wine Chemise ($68, blushlingerie.com) is a sexy but safe bet. (Supplied)

The name says it all - Commando Intimates offers some of the most comfortable undies out there ($22 - $26). In perky colours and seamless cuts they're pretty cute, too! Available at hipundies.com and lingerie boutiques across Canada. (Supplied)

Not into lingerie? No problem. Kissables Shimmer Body Powder ($12.50, lasenza.com) will dress up birthday suits delightfully (not that you needed any beautifying). (Supplied)
