This Cozy Blanket Made It Onto Oprah's Favorite Things List 2025, but We've Been Obsessed with It for Years

As soon as the temperature dips below 40°F, I’ll make practically any excuse to stay in. Once I’ve got my candles lit, a homemade hot chocolate in hand, and my holiday playlist queued up, a soft blanket is all I need to complete that “I’m never leaving my couch again” vibe.

My fellow editors and I agree that one blanket checks every box: cozy, cuddly, and simply luxurious. Now that it’s made Oprah’s Favorite Things list, the race is on to grab it before it sells out.

Oprah says its plush faux fur “hushes the world the second it’s draped over,” and “hugs you to sleep.” Basically, it’s the blanket your family will be fighting over through Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My best friend has a Lola Blanket in her apartment, and it’s officially the most coveted item of our friend group. It is the coziest, softest blanket I’ve ever touched.

It has a nice weight to it, though it’s not as restrictive as an actual weighted blanket. It’s comforting without being stifling—basically like wrapping yourself in a warm, fluffy cloud.

The large size is perfect for cuddling up with a friend, partner, or pet on movie night, and it looks luxurious draped over the edge of a bed or sectional sofa. If you’re buying for a child or decorating a smaller space, the brand has baby and medium sizes, too.

Some faux-fur blankets leave you looking like you’ve wrestled a dog, but this one doesn’t shed at all. I can run my hand over it a hundred times—leggings, black sweater, you name it—and be left unscathed.

I also love that it’s dual-sided. I’ve tried tons of blankets with one soft and one scratchy side, but this one is plush all over. It also comes in tons of colors—over 48 shades, including neutrals, patterns, and holiday-themed hues. I’m obsessed with the best-selling Caramel N’ Cream,, but I’m also eyeing the Mocha Check. Each blanket is hand-dyed, too, making each order unique.

If you’re worried about washing the luxe material, don’t be. You can toss it in the washing machine alone on a cold-water cycle when it needs a refresh.
