snugglings

Warm embrace sessions

Snugglings are instances of snuggling—settling into a warm, close embrace with someone or something.

The word appears most often in affectionate or playful contexts: The cat demands her morning snugglings.

It can also describe multiple separate occasions of cuddling: Weekend snugglings on the couch are the best part of winter.
