A heavy blanket and a cup of hot tea.

This prize pack is like a warm hug. Thanks for offering it!
My version of cozy – on the couch with my soft and fuzzy blanket, and a book in my hand. If it’s raining, snowing outside, even better!
My mom use to do this so now I do it too- but the nicest feeling is you are sitting, doing something and someone surprises you with a blanket fresh out of the dryer- heaven!
Reading by the fire.
Down comforter and heated mattress pad will warm things up quick. I just have to find away to get the cat from hogging up the bed….
Wow, that shawl is gorgeous! My cozy is a cat and a book, and some tea and chocolate.
In bed with a book and a toddler curled up next to me. A dog is great, too, but they make more of a fuss about bathing, and I have none in my household at the moment, while we’re well-stacked with toddlers.
My favorite way to get cozy? Cuddle up under a fuzzy blanket. I get the warmth from the blanket, AND from my equally fuzzy beardog who adores cozy blankies in the winter and will jump up on the couch to join me. So cozy/snuggly.
It depends on the time of day. Morning cozy is tea and sunshine and rearranging my down pillows into a nest because I don’t have to be anywhere. Evening/afternoon cozy is a fire as mesmerizing as my book, and the hardest choice I need to concern myself with the rival merits of hot chocolate and whiskey. Night cozy requires total darkness, bedding that meets the approval of goldilocks and the princess and the pea, lots of room to sprawl, and somehow miraculously not need to pee 50 million times, despite having drunk all those cozy-making beverages all day.
That shawl! I’m still a beginner knitter. It’ll be a while before I can gift anyone any of my “creations.”
My cozy place is a soft cardigan, hot tea and fuzzy slippers – all paired with a book or audiobook.
Being in bed between two fleece blankets and under a comforter, book in hand. So snug!
Also, for Christmas I bought a packet of Laura Slack hot chocolate that makes an especially rich kind of cocoa. Not too sweet, just full of taste. I can’t wait to make a mug and try it.
recliner, down throw, pot of tea, soft music, soft reading light, and a good book.
perfect
Comfy clothes, super-warm and extra-large fleece blanket big enough to share, space heater/simulated-fireplace, scented candles, hot chocolate, popcorn, and a good movie (with no extraneous commentary from others if it’s a tear-jerker, or has vampires, or has subtitles … maybe I should watch the movie by myself).
Curling up on the couch with several blankets, a cup of tea, and a book is my favorite way to get cozy. I need to amp up my cozy game, though, by dragging my heated blanket out of the closet. It’s finally getting cold enough to need it again.
Hot tea, a fire in the fireplace, and a book!
Curl up with a book and a crocheted afghan.

I keep fleece blankets throughout my house so that any time I feel like getting cozy I curl up under one. Also warm socks!
On the sofa under a warm throw, feet up on a pooffe, and my dog cuddled by my side.
I love burrowing down in my bed JUST to be cozy under the blanket (suck it, sleep specialists, my bed is the comfiest place in my house and I will live there if I want to). Cats are included if the deign to join me, usually it’s 1-2 under the blanket and the third one at the foot of the bed.
Tea, knitting, and kindle.
Coziness is one of my husband’s & my greatest shared pleasure. 🙂 We have a living room quilt that we both sit under while we drink tea and read (or play video games or watch TV or chat). In fact, I’m under it right now! 🙂
Windows open on a cold day, snuggled down under soft blankets and clean sheets.
Curled up under the fleece blanket on the couch with a big mug of tea (or hot toddy), e-reader in hand, with my dog on my lap, and the cat purring behind my head on the back of the couch.
Hot tea, down conforter and a book.
That’s a beautiful shawl. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
I’ve made several plush minky throws. They are good to snuggle under (when I can get them away from the dogs.)
My Newfoundland (that would be the dog, not an actual citizen of Newfoundland) lying on my feet, fleeced blanket with snoozing cat accessory in my lap, big thermal cup of cafe au lait at my elbow and my Kindle.
חג שמח!
Definitely under a pile of cats and a soft throw blanket. I’m gettimg drowsy just imagining it now…
I put on my favorite hoodie (it says, My Patronus is a Bookworm), put on some fuzzy socks, get under a blanket, and snuggle up to my puppers.

Muji sells the most awesome room socks – they are thick wool, and I always run them through the washer and dryer to felt them a bit. They are sooooo warm!
I have a mattress topper that is electric and dual controlled that I turn on every night when I go to read and IT IS HEAVEN.
