Keeping the ho-ho-ho-holidays hot without veering into scandalously salacious territory is a precarious balancing act, one which we occasionally overstep or misjudge here. (Type in ‘Gratuitous nudity’ into the search engine and stand back, Buenos Aires.) The key to a holiday hunk is the blend between the sacred and profane, a knowing glance and hint of skin, a playful gaze and mischievous pose, and maybe just the slightest peek at something naughty. We straddle the line. We skirt the edge. And we hope that Santa puts us on the good list. Here’s a look at some hunks to make your holiday jingle.
It begins with the featured photo of Frankie Catania, yet another gift from the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and one that keeps giving. Thank you, Andy Cohen!
Next up is a Santa-hatted Sean William Donovan, whose holiday sweater brings all sorts of heat and stirrings.
Having just made a super-splash in his briefs and jockstraps and boxer briefs – all products of his new underwear line Grand Axis – Steve Grand is back in the hunk game, and quite clearly winning.
A relatively-recent Hunk of the Day is Dwyane Wade, who’s as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside.
Shades of grey abound in this photo of Liam Payne, whose underwear antics earned him accolades, but whose bisexual fetishization raised eyebrows and ire. That issue goes too deep for these pages; sort it out amongst yourselves.
Closing out this holiday hunk post is Justin Hartley, in his Santa-inspired turn in the holiday comedy ‘Bad Moms’. Check out the unit on that guy.
