If you need an explanation of what Vote 2025 means, well, it could mean that you need to spend more time around here, but it also means you’re in for a lot of fun.

Penthouse POY Vote 2025

If 2025 has taught us anything, it might be that reality now updates more often than our phone’s software. From the Great Social-Media Migration (where everyone simultaneously claimed they were “logging off for good” and then reappeared 48 hours later), the nationwide obsession with productivity apps that somehow made everyone worse at being productive, AI that now writes break-up texts, and news cycles that ping-pong people between having strong opinions and being too tired to care — sometimes within the same sentence — the only thing more unpredictable than this year’s chaos has to be the commentary people feel compelled to have about it.

Naturally, with all that happening (and all that you’ve forgotten since breakfast), this seems as good a moment as any to remind everyone that our Pet of the Year 2025 voting has officially gone live. According to half our leadership, readers must be told things repeatedly or risk wandering into traffic. According to the other half, no one will notice this article unless we set it to music and choreograph a dance challenge. Since we are neither babysitters nor TikTok influencers, we’re settling for a straightforward announcement: The vote is happening, and you get to help pick a winner.

Shocking, we know.

As has recently been our custom, we will crown the 2025 Pet of the Year at AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo next January in Las Vegas. Where better to celebrate the glamor, charisma, and a year’s worth of unforgettable moments than a city where even the slot machines have a dramatic flair?  

This prestigious title has previously gone to absolute stunners: Renee Olstead (2024), Tahlia Paris (2023), Amber Marie (2022), Kenzie Anne (2021), and Lacy Lennon (2020) to name only the most recent. Each brought her own spark — some mischievous, some luminous, some deliciously naughty, and all so magnetic, we found ourselves asking “Is she even a real person?” This year’s contenders stand ready to follow in those footsteps, heels and all.

While it may be easy to presume this whole contest comes down to  looks — beautiful women in Penthouse, who would’ve guessed? — those of us working on the project know better. Entertainment counts for a tremendous amount in these halls, and we’re certain many of you would agree. Personality has always been the secret competitive ingredient. … Wit. Charm. The ability to answer our questionnaire without giving the impression they are negotiating a hostage crisis. These things matter.

It remains our ongoing effort to pull gems that reveal our who are Pets are beyond their beauty. No trick questions (though “Describe yourself in three words” can certainly lead to an existential crisis). Instead, these prompts show how these women think, laugh, flirt, dream, and occasionally roast themselves. The results rarely disappoint. So, without further ado, here are our Pets’ sharpest, funniest, strangest, or most “I did NOT see that coming” moments — proof of their charm when they’re not posing under soft-boxes and an LED panel.

As for the rudimentary basics:

  1. Your initial vote period will be open from 12/07/2025 at 12:00 AM until 12/21/2025 at 11:59:59 PM PST.
  2. This year, we’re continuing our Playoff format, trimming the roster down solely as the vote naturally splits.  The Play-Off will begin with 6 finalists from 12/28/2025 at 12:00 AM until that same magical 11:59:59 PM on 01/04/2026 at PST.

If you’ve ever wanted the power to help shape an outcome without algorithms or someone asking you … if you’ve tried turning it off and back on again … this will be that moment. So, take a minute and look through the contestants.  Read the highlights. Pick the woman who makes you smile, laugh, or think, “Okay, she’s the one.” You have the power to vote every 2 days — not necessarily for the same star — and by doing so you’ll enjoy more influence here than almost anywhere else these days.

Use it.

For those of you curious about the header image on this page, with a slight nod to another upcoming project debut, we chose a shot of Stephanie McLean from the April, 1970, issue of Penthouse Magazine for that spot. Stephanie happened to be the very first Pet of the Year winner announced way back in 1971 — when tik-tok was just something a clock did.
