Festive Christmas Essential Oil Blends 

Festive Christmas essential oil blends to make your house smell like Christmas! These printable essential oil blend charts show you what combination of essential oils smells like Christmas.

When I think of the holidays, my mind turns to fresh evergreen wreaths, Christmas carols, peppermint candy canes, wrapping gifts, baking cookies for Santa, and all the twinkling lights. 

It’s a magical time of year when anything seems possible. And if you’re lucky, you might just feel like a kid again! 

I’m a sucker for all the cheesy holiday fun, a Christmas lights tour in our pajamas, cutting paper snowflakes, drying oranges, sipping hot cocoa overloaded with marshmallows by the fire, making cinnamon dough ornaments, and more. 

When the holidays are here, I swap out my fall essential oil blends for the best Christmas essential oil blend recipes. Fresh evergreen scents, sweet peppermint, and warming blends like cookies baking in the oven are where it’s at! 

Because diffusing essential oils blends that smell like Christmas is the fastest way to make your home feel festive. You can stick with the classics like my Christmas Tree Farm blend or level up with Camp Christmas, an airy, spicy, sweet blend, or a romantic recipe for Mistletoe. 

But they’re not just for diffusing – you can use these Christmas essential oil blends for soap, candles, DIY room sprays, and more holiday crafts. Just be sure to increase the amounts to fit your project. 

No matter what you’re in the mood for, you’re sure to find a new favorite among these Christmas essential oil blends. Print each with our easy printable blend charts below!

Can you mix any essential oils?

Yes, but it’s more about “what essential oils smell good together?”. And it’s most easily answered by using an essential oil blending wheel. Like a color wheel, an essential oil blending wheel helps us understand the relationships between different aromas and how our brain processes them. 

To create appealing essential oil blends, choose oils that sit next to each other on the blending wheel. So, use this list of essential oils that smell like Christmas with the blend wheeling to create countless combinations.

Diffusing Christmas Essential Oils Blends

If you’re new to diffusing essential oils, you’ll be delighted to know it’s straightforward. Choose one of these diffuser methods and a Christmas essential oil blend recipe below to infuse your kitchen, living room, bedroom, or entryway for the holidays! 

Ultrasonic Diffuser

These popular devices use water and ultrasonic vibrations to disperse essential oils into the air as a fine mist. You can pick up a diffuser at Target or shop some of my favorites:

Don’t miss my tips on how to clean diffusers like this.

Essential Oil Tea Light Diffuser

These diffusers often come in decorative designs and use a heat source, such as a tea light candle (I make my own), to gently warm the essential oils and disperse their aroma throughout the room.

Reed Diffuser

Create a reed diffuser by combining essential oils with a carrier oil, such as sweet almond oil, and placing reed sticks into the mixture. The reeds absorb the oil and gradually release the scent into the room. Try this DIY reed diffuser tutorial to add a touch of elegance to your space.

Terracotta Diffuser Stones

Craft your own diffuser stones using terracotta clay. These porous stones absorb essential oils and release their fragrance slowly over time. Check out this tutorial for handmade terracotta diffuser stones to infuse your environment with natural scents.

Where’s The Best Place To Put A Diffuser?

I know all too well that finding a good space for a diffuser can be difficult. I’ve learned that it’s not really about decor. It’s about choosing the best place to reap the aromatherapy benefits of a diffuser. Yes, I am guilty of choosing an essential oil diffuser for its looks and choosing a spot to use it because it looked good there. 

But, you’ll be less likely to use your diffuser if it’s not where you or your family are often. And the same can be said for your essential oils. If you keep them in a box in your closet – how often are you going to use them? 

So, take some time to think about where you and your family frequently spend time in your home and how you can creatively store your essential oils for ease of use. I share several storage tips for oils here and have a few ideas in the Oily Chic Lookbook. 

Here is a list of some of the best places to put a diffuser:

• Living Room Sofa Table
• Kitchen Island
• Bedroom Night Stand
• Entry Way Table
• Bathroom Vanity
• Coffee Bar
• Office Credenza 
• Portable Diffuser In The Car
• Kids Playroom Bookshelf

Once you’ve found the perfect locations for diffusers in your home, store the essential oils you will use most often there. And why not tuck these Christmas blend charts nearby?
