December 1970-

This 1970 ad starring Shay Knuth proved that somehow,  naked with a Santa hat is hotter than just plain ol’ naked!

December 1972-

Created in the vane of the 50s Christmas Coca Cola ads, this years cover made us totally nostalgic for a retro Christmas, starring a hot naked chick as Santa.

December 1992

Two sets of sexy blonde twin assets grace the cover of this early nineties holiday magazine…  and from then on “less is more” was totally wrong!

December 1996-

After a decade of less-than-sexy covers (the 80’s were tough, c’mon…) the hot holiday cover came back in a big way with the insanely sexy Jenny McCarthy giving a lucky Santa a present. Luckily, this was before Jim Carrey ruined her for us.

December 2000-

The new millennium’s December cover was quite possible the hottest of all time. Because there is nothing we want more for Christmas that a fully nude Carmen Electra trapped in a glass ball for our enjoyment!
