These Fuzzy Blankets Will Help You Snuggle Your Way Through Winter

by Rachel Cavanaugh

Winter is all about making like a bear a hibernating in your little den — which, for humans, pretty much amounts to curling up on the couch and sipping hot beverages for four months straight. And nothing makes this cold-weather routine better than having one of the best fuzzy blankets in the world to wrap yourself up in: A blanket that is not only soft and cozy, but fully capable of swaddling itself around you through an entire rewatch of Game of Thrones. And yes, I mean the entire series, not just the latest season.

When arctic winds are whipping your windows and it's so cold you get cangry just walking to the mailbox, eight-hour Hulu binges become totally acceptable. However, you do need a good blanket — something that can stay folded up on the sofa for you to grab when your toes get chilly, or you when want to snuggle up next to someone special (like your cat).

Get out those holiday-themed reindeer socks your grandma bought you three winters ago, find your warmest, comfiest pair of sweat pants, and embrace the upcoming weeks of lounging around in fuzzy warm blankets and PJs, watching TV, and cozying up by the fire.
