cuddle time

Affectionate holding session

Cuddle time is a period set aside for physical affection—holding, snuggling, or lying close together.

Parents schedule cuddle time with children; couples carve it out from busy days.

The phrase treats intimacy as an activity worth protecting: We always have cuddle time before bed.

It suggests warmth, comfort, and emotional connection rather than sexual contact.
