With Christmas just around the corner, your family has probably started decorating for the holidays. Decorating the Christmas tree, making gingerbread houses, or putting up lights helps us all get into the holiday spirit. Candles are also a great way for you to get into the spirit of Christmas. Bath and Body Works had a massive holiday sale on all scents that smell like Christmas, and I’m going to rank them from the ones that smell a little holly jolly to the ones that smell the most like Santa flying through the night on his sleigh.
The scents Flannel, Frosted Cranberry, and Winter all induce the feeling of sitting in a cozy cabin, watching the snow fall as you’re reading a book, but they don’t evoke as much Christmas cheer as the other candles that I will discuss. Flannel is described as smelling like “cuddling up on a chilly fall night” on the Bath and Body Works website. Frosted Cranberry is described as smelling “fruity yet refined—a seasonal mainstay.” Lastly, the scent Winter is described as stepping foot into a “winter wonderland” and that it gives you the ultimate feeling of the cold months. All of these descriptions are very accurate. When I went on Black Friday, I immediately felt all of the things described, and while they smell very winter-y, there are even more candles that give the feeling of Christmas.
Vanilla Bean Noel, Winter Candy Apple, and ‘Tis The Season give you the feeling of the days leading up to Christmas, seeing the presents and decorations around, but not quite the full Christmas vibe that you feel on Christmas Eve and Day. Vanilla Bean Noel is described as making you feel like “snow is lightly falling” and the holidays are finally here. Winter Candy Apple is said to make you feel “bright and full of joy–just like the holiday season.” ‘Tis The Season smells like the spirit of the season. These 3 candles are good if you want a hint of Christmas around your home, not fully in-your-face. Vanilla Bean Noel is definitely my favorite scent, and it really made me feel cozy.
Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the candle that smells the most like Christmas is the candle called The Perfect Christmas. This candle is described as smelling like setting out treats for Santa on Christmas Eve, and that is exactly what it smells like. It brings out memories from past Christmases and really makes you feel the nostalgia of Christmas.
All of the candles I listed smell the most like Christmas to me, but there are many more Christmas-themed scents on the Bath and Body Works website and store. I hope this list helps you all when you’re figuring out which scent you would like to smell or smell like this holiday season.
