With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, it’s officially time to pivot to Christmas-themed everything, from movies to music to flirting. And what better way to get festive and flirty this holiday than breaking out some Christmas pickup lines?
Can pickup lines be a bit cheesy? Yes, of course. But they are also fun, and what is Christmas all about if not spreading cheer? Not to mention, a well-placed pickup line can actually be quite effective if you know what you’re doing. If you’re trying to break the ice on a dating app or slide into a stranger’s DMs, a lighthearted, memorable pickup line could be just the thing to catch their attention and help you stand out from the crowd. And even if you’re already with your long-term love, sending them one of these cute Christmas pickup lines is an easy way to make them smile this holiday season.
Below, you’ll find a list of 65 Christmas pickup lines that range from naughty to nice. Send one to whoever you’re hoping to meet beneath the mistletoe this year and maybe even secure yourself a New Year’s Eve kiss in the process.
