A hug is just a brief momentary thing (abrazo I think?) while cuddle is an embrace over a long period of time
Example: they greeted each other with a hug
They cuddled together in bed while watching a movie

An example of cuddling would be: we lay on the couch together and I hold you. A hug would be when I drop you off after a date, we would wrap our arms around each other and say bye:)

Hug signifca abrazar, usualmente por un periodo breve. Cuando dos personas se abrazan por un periodo prolongado (en una cama, manta, sofa etc.) esto es considerado "cuddling".
Ejemplos de oraciones:
I hug my mom when she gets home from work. (un abrazo breve)
My boyfriend and I like to cuddle on the sofa when we watch a movie. ( un abrazo que dura un rato, en este caso unas pocas horas)

Cuddle is a longer period of time and can be between boyfriend/girlfriend — let’s cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. A hug is quick- it is a greeting - hello or goodbye- I gave my mom a hug goodbye. Or something you do to make someone feel better. I gave my daughter a hug when she was crying.

a hug has a definite start and end to the action, a cuddle is a prolonged period of "cuddling", hugging, embracing, usually with an overall tender or sweet feeling with it. the two lovers were seen cuddling over lunch in the park.

Cuddling is closer and more affectionate than hugging.
You can give a crying stranger a hug but you don't start cuddling them.

a cuddle is something that is held for longer than a moment and can generally not have a definite ending. cuddling, snuggling, canoodling, is a prolonged low impact gesture of affection.
