’Tis the season for gift giving — and nothing’s better than something cozy for the chilly winter ahead! Some of the best Christmas gifts are best enjoyed in front of a crackling fire on the couch, and this one’s definitely the coziest yet. Oprah Winfrey just launched her iconic Favorite Things 2025 List and, unsurprisingly so, included a luxe throw blanket that Apartment Therapy raved about earlier this year; it might just be the most luxurious throw blanket you can buy (it’s seriously that good).

“When they unwrap this, they’ll melt,” Oprah said in a blurb about the Lola blanket, which has gone viral on social media a few times in 2025. “Plush faux fur that hushes the world the second it’s draped over them — a weighted blanket that feels and looks luxurious and hugs you to sleep.”

Why the Lola Blanket Is Our Favorite Holiday Gift

This blanket is designed with the ultimate comfort in mind. It’s double-sided and made with an ultra-plush faux fur fabric that’s both durable and stretchy, a feature that our editors love. It’s weighted, which creates a soothing feeling, and the Lola is a breeze to wash, per our tests. Just throw it into your machine on a cold setting and hang it to dry. 

And these blankets look as good as they feel. They come in a variety of neutrals, soft colors, and prints, and come in sizes ranging from Baby (30 by 36 inches) to Lola XL (80 by 90 inches). There are also two holiday colors available right now: a deep green and a dark burgundy.

Lola blankets start at just under $110 and vary in price depending on size, so yes, they’re a bit of a splurge. But this blanket might be the last throw you’ll ever buy!

“When I’m not prying my friends’ hands off my Lola blanket, I’m trying to pry it away from my husband and our dogs. Everyone wants a piece of this amazing blanket, and honestly, I can’t blame them,” Apartment Therapy’s editor-in-chief, Charli Penn, explained in a review

Penn reported that the blanket is “as thick and durable as it is soft and stretchy,” making it the perfect throw for the cold winter season. Even though it’s on the pricier side, it’s an investment that lasts for years to come. Penn noted that even after a year of using hers it still looked brand new. 

The Lola blankets have over 14,000 positive reviews on Lola’s website, and if Oprah loves them, you definitely will, too. Grab one for yourself and another for that friend who needs to take a load off, and you’ll experience a new level of coziness you didn’t think existed.
