Now’s the time for holiday cheer, because Christmas Eve is almost here! As preparations are made, fill your home with your favorite holiday aroma and let the happiness ensue.

What does Christmas smell like to you? Peppermint candy canes? Fresh cookies baking in the oven? Mulled cider? 

People say that aroma is the strongest sense tied to memory. Whether you’re drawing on a memory of your own or creating a new one, we have the perfect DIY Christmas essential oil diffuser blend for you.

Warmth, laughter, and cheer will come as Christmas spirit fills the hearts of you and your loved ones thanks to these seven Christmas spirit essential oil diffuser blends.

1. Christmas Diffuser Blend

If you could use an extra dose of holiday cheer or can’t get enough of it, enjoy this diffuser blend. This Christmas spirit essential oil blend will make your heart soar as you go from a grinch to a Cindy Lou.

Combine:

• 5 drops Joy
• 3 drops Allspice
• 2 drops Cinnamon Leaf

Our beloved Joy synergy blend brings notes of bright citrus and subtle florals, which combine winningly with warm Cinnamon and Allspice to remind you of mulled cider and wine.

2. Baking Cookies For Santa Blend

Didn’t have time to fill your kitchen with sweet treats this holiday season? Enjoy the aroma of baking cookies without the calories.

For this sugary sweet blend, combine:

• 2 drops Ginger
• 3 drops Vanilla Oleoresin
• 1 drop Clove Bud
• 2 drops Cinnamon Leaf
• 1 drop Cardamom
• 1 drop Orange Around the World

Baking Cookies combines sweet, spice and everything nice so that the aroma of gingerbread and shortbread lingers much longer than any batch of cookies would! It will be sure to make your whole home smell like Santa's bake shop before your upcoming Christmas party.

3. Decorating The Christmas Tree Blend

These days, many of us opt for an artificial Christmas tree, whether due to environmental concerns or the hassle of hauling the tree in and out of our homes. However, there’s nothing else quite like the piney aroma of a freshly cut tree. If you’re missing your days wandering rows of Christmas trees, try this holiday diffuser blend.

Combine:

• 4 drops Cedarwood Around the World
• 2 drops Spruce
• 2 drops Pine
• 2 drops Fir Balsam

With more Cedarwood than evergreen, this sophisticated aroma is also deeply grounding. That means it can bring a little bit of calm to the hectic days of wrapping presents and getting ready for Christmas dinner.

4. Candy Cane Dream Blend

Candy Canes and Peppermint are a favorite part of the Christmas season for many. Whether a performance of The Nutcracker has you craving the aroma or you’re looking for a calming Christmas spirit diffuser blend, try out Candy Cane Dream.

Combine:

• 4 drops Peppermint
• 2 drops Spearmint
• 2 drops Cinnamon Leaf

The warming Cinnamon undertone is the key to a balanced, dreamy aroma that leaves you feeling cozy and relaxed.

5. Wisemen Blend

There’s nothing more dramatic for kids than seeing a priest swing a smoking thurible full of Frankincense and Myrrh. Even if that wasn’t a part of your Christmas tradition growing up, you’re likely familiar with Frankincense's famous aroma and Myrrh, two of the wisemen’s gifts to the baby Jesus.

Recreate this piece of Christmas history in your home with the following blend:

• 6 drops Frankincense & Myrrh
• 4 drops Orange Around the World

This sophisticated aroma is also anti-inflammatory and may help support respiratory health during the cold and flu season so that you can greet Christmas morning and the holiday season feeling your best.

6. Crisp Winter Air

Sometimes, with all the activity of the Christmas season, you need a more subtle, soothing aroma to reset your body and mind. When this is the case, reach for a soothing blend like Crisp Winter Air.

Combine:

• 4 drops Rosemary Around the World
• 4 drops Lemon
• 2 drops Peppermint

This blend also contains some of our favorite essential oils for stress, colds and sore throats. Antioxidant Lemon and 1,8-cineole rich Rosemary are both excellent choices if your immune system needs a little supportive help.

Use Crisp Winter Air whenever you need a little bit of rest so that you can get back to the wonderful holiday season feeling refreshed.

7. Eggnog Blend

Is eggnog an important part of your Christmas ritual? Nutmeg isn’t just a classic Christmas aroma, but also a great oil to help soothe your stomach after you’ve overindulged. That’s right—this essential oil blend can undo the damage that its namesake and other Christmas treats might impart!

Combine:

• 3 drops Vanilla Oleoresin
• 3 drops Nutmeg
• 2 drops Cinnamon Leaf
• 2 drops Cassia

Energizing and sweet, this blend’s aroma can also help you get your second wind after an afternoon meal so that you can enjoy the Christmas spirit further into the evening.
