"My New Year's Resolution is to carpe DM."
2020 feels like it has lasted 100 years, but somehow, the holiday season is just beginning. As Friendsgiving dinners and ugly sweater parties take on virtual settings this year, knowing some holiday DM slide lines to try on your hometown hookup or newest Hinge match can be a great way to festively flirt with a cutie over the phone. Whether you've been following your crush for a while or just linked up on the 'gram, sliding in someone's DMs can be a great way to break the ice (and bring on the heat).
If someone's main feed makes you want to be their main, here are 24 ways to start a conversation in the DM.

I want to dance and prance with you.
Let's make like solstice and head right into nighttime.

That ugly sweater looks itchy, maybe you should take it off.
Sweater weather? More like cuddle climate.
After Hanukkah, we could enjoy a candlelit night.

And double-tapped your recent post.
Santa can have the milk and cookies, you're the only snack I want.
That's half true —I want you and the milk and cookies.
Did you get that outfit on Black Friday? 'Cause I want it 100% off.
I'd take 50% off too.
