Naughty? Nice? It doesn't matter. Here are some of the hottest holiday hookups on streaming!Photo: Netflix

***Reindeer Games***
Okay, so we can't say that the Ben Affleck/Charlize Theron thriller Reindeer Games, currently boasting a grinch-like 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, is a Christmas classic, but it sure has some hot holiday sex scenes. Rudy (Affleck) and Ashley (Theron) share some scorching "fresh out of jail" sex in the first act, which is conveniently scored to the song "Let it Snow."

Later, Affleck's character discovers Ashley is lying about her relationship with Gary Sinise's Gabriel. How does he find out Ashley and Gabriel aren't brother and sister? He catches them hooking up in a pool. Classic *Reindeer Games*. The film is currently streaming on Starz.Photo: Starz

**Eyes Wide Shut**
You probably don't think of Stanley Kubrick's 1999 drama *Eyes Wide Shut* as a Christmas movie, for good reason, but it *does* take place during the holiday season.

Starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and orgies, this notorious erotic drama follows the sexual adventures of Cruise's Dr. William Harford after his wife admits she contemplated having an affair. Stream it today on Netflix.Photo: Netflix

**Mad Men**
There are few things more certain than the ol' holiday party hookup.

*Mad Men* celebrates this Christmas tradition with an impromptu mac-session between Don (Jon Hamm) and Allison (Alexa Alemanni) in the Season 4 episode "Christmas Comes But Once A Year." Now streaming on Netflix, a drunk Don (shocking, I know), manages to woo his secretary after one too many drinks at the Christmas party. The next day, however, Don is business as usual. Ice cold, Draper. Ice cold.

**Bad Santa**
There are plenty of films about good Santas but very few about *bad* Santas. The 2003 film *Bad Santa*, as one might assume, falls into the latter category.

Now streaming on Netflix, the film centers on a conman, Willy (Billy Bob Thornton), who poses as Santa Clause. Thornton's misanthropic Willy is as crotchety as all get-out, but his silver lining comes in the form of Sue (Lauren Graham), a bartender who has a thing for men dressed as Santa.Photo: Netflix

**Best Man Holiday**
Take note, fellas. If you pull off an elaborate dance number, you will *definitely* get some.

After Quentin (Terrence Howard), Julian (Harold Perrineau), Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Harper (Taye Diggs) serenade their ladies by performing "Can You Stand The Rain," some of the various couples from Best Man Holiday, which is now streaming on FX Now, take it to the bedroom for an encore.Photo: FX Now

**The Holiday**
I've been friends with Decider's Lea Palmieri for almost a decade, which means I've heard her talk about this 2006 rom-com an estimated two million times. Now streaming on Prime Video, the movie that my dear colleague refers to as a "masterpiece" doesn't include a traditional sex scene, but it does feature a steamy make-out session between Cameron Diaz and Jude Law.Photo: Hulu

**Love Actually**
*Love Actually* is a certified holiday classic... just not one you want to stream with your family. While featuring the iconic pre-zombie apocalypse Rick telling Juliet she's "perfect" scene, the film also delivers a couple of sex scenes. After years of yearning, Sarah (Laura Linney) and Karl (Rodrigo Santoro) are finally about to hookup, but the would-be tryst is unfortunately interrupted.

**The O.C.**
Summer Roberts gave young Seth Cohen one of the most memorable Chrismukkah gifts of all time when she dressed up as Wonder Woman (as "Santa Baby" plays) during the show's famous Seth/Summer/Anna love triangle. Taking place during the Season 1 episode "The Best Chrismukkah Ever" (which is available to stream on Hulu), Seth and Summer are interrupted mid-lasso. Awkward! Rachel Bilson may have been the *Hart of Dixie*, but she's the soul of *The O.C*.Photo: FOX

**Jarhead**
Okay, this scene from *Jarhead* isn't *technically* a hookup, but a special exception has to be made for a moment where Jake Gyllenhaal is dancing around wearing nothing but a Santa hat. Well, technically, *two* Santa hats.
