Holiday Hacks to Make Your Home or Office Smell Like the Holidays

The holiday season is all about cozy vibes, festive gatherings, and those warm, comforting scents that instantly set the mood. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner or simply want to create a more inviting workspace, here are some easy hacks to make your home or office smell like the holidays!

1. Create a Simmer Pot

Simmer pots are a classic way to fill your space with holiday aromas. Simply toss a few fragrant ingredients into a pot, add water, and let it simmer. Popular holiday simmer pot ingredients include cinnamon sticks, cloves, oranges, and cranberries. The heat releases the wonderful holiday smells into the air, filling your home or office with cozy, festive scents.

Holiday Simmer Pot Recipe:

• 1 orange (sliced)

• 2-3 cinnamon sticks

• 1 tablespoon of whole cloves

• A handful of fresh cranberries

• Add water, bring to a simmer, and keep on low heat.

  
  

  

  
  

2. Essential Oil Diffusers

Essential oil diffusers are a great, low-maintenance way to enjoy holiday scents. Combine oils like peppermint, cinnamon, and pine for a seasonal mix. Here’s a blend you can try to give your space a fresh holiday feel:

• 4 drops of peppermint oil

• 3 drops of cinnamon oil

• 2 drops of orange oil

This combo mimics the scent of candy canes and holiday treats!

3. Bake for Scent and Taste

Nothing fills the air with warm, inviting scents like baking! Even if you don’t plan on hosting, throw a batch of frozen cookies in the oven or warm up some store-bought cinnamon rolls to get the air smelling sweet and festive. The smell of baked goods brings instant holiday cheer to any space.
