What is the best recommendation for icy wall sockets ?

As the cold weather and wind starts to settle in, what are recommendations to reduce the cold coming in through my outside wall sockets. Tearing down sheet rock and reinsulating isn’t an option right now.

There are closed cell foam socket seals at big box diy. They go under the face plate. Also pick up fake plastic 2or 3 holed plugs for putting in the sockets once the face plate is back on. Those are in the baby proofing area. If you just want to tape over the socket, use blue painters tape, it ain’t pretty, but it gets the job done.
