10+ Christmas Essential Oil Blends to Get You in the Spirit!

These 10+ Christmas essential oil blends are sure to get you in the holiday spirit! In addition to smelling incredible, these essential oils can help you feel calmer, ease your headaches, and get a good night’s rest.

Don’t you just love the smell of Christmas? Call me sentimental, but I just love sitting around the tree, listening to old-fashioned Christmas carols, sipping on hot chocolate with scents like cinnamon, spruce, star anise and frankincense wafting from my essential oil diffuser.

Probably the first scent that comes to mind when you’re trying to come up with Christmas essential oil blends is cinnamon – it’s the classic festive scent! But there are a lot of other essential oils you can diffuse to bring the smell of the holidays into your home.

And in addition to making your house smell divine, these festive essential oil blends have a ton of added benefits including helping to ease headaches, clear sinuses, relax and de-stress and help you get a good nights sleep (all of which are especially helpful during the holiday season!). This is definitely one of the ways to practice holiday self care. 

Essential oils can even help soothe your baby’s teething pain and there are essential oils safe for babies with colds. 

I buy all of my essential oils from Plant Therapy. After a lot of research, I’ve found that Plant Therapy offers the highest quality, pure essential oils at the lowest price.

Plant Therapy has been endorsed by famed aromatherapist Robert Tisserand, which speaks incredibly highly of their quality (I trust that Robert Tisserand would not lend his endorsement to a company that sold sub-par essential oils.) (paid link)

So without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite Christmas essential oil blends (plus a couple extra) that’ll help get you in the Christmas spirit!

10+ Christmas Essential Oil Blends

These 10 blends will work perfect in an essential oil diffuser (learn more about types of essential oil diffusers).

Always be sure to add water to your diffuser before adding the essential oils. Your manual should tell you how many drops you should use. Larger rooms will take more essential oils than smaller rooms.

Christmas Tree Holiday Blend (pre-mixed)

If you’d like to buy a done-for-you blend, then I highly recommend the Christmas Tree Holiday Blend from Plant Therapy.

The Christmas tree holiday blend combines Balsam Fir, Spruce, and Hemlock, bringing you the wonderful smell of a Christmas tree (even if you have a fake one). 

This blend is also very cost-effective because it can be expensive buying the individual oils required to create your own blends.

Holiday Season Synergy Essential Oil (Pre-mixed)

Another done-for-you blend, this holiday season synergy blend includes orange and lemon peel, cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg. I LOVE this blend! It’s one of my personal favorites. 

This is another cost effective blend as you won’t need to buy several different oils to make the blend – it’s all in one!

Christmas Themed Essential Oil Diffuser

If you’re anything like me, you’ll know this feeling: I see Christmas themed ANYTHING and I feel like I MUST.HAVE.IT. haha! Fortunately, I’m able to resist a lot of Christmas themed items, but this Christmas themed essential oil diffuser is just too cute and budget-friendly to pass up! (paid link)

I also love that because it’s not actually Christmas specific, you can use it all winter, even after you’ve taken your Christmas decorations down (*sob).

Safe Usage of Essential Oils

Essential oils have so many wonderful benefits, but you need to be sure to stay safe while using them. Here are some safety tips:

• Do not ingest essential oils;
• Keep them away from children. You can use them safely on children in a diffuser, or even VERY diluted on the skin (learn more about the safety of essential oils for children);
• Don’t ever put the oils in your ears or get them in your eyes, nose, or your private parts;
• Read the instructions on your diffuser for proper quantities;
• Make sure they are properly diluted when used on the skin – 1% dilution is recommended in most cases (6 drops of essential oil to 1 ounce of carrier oil);
• Keep the oils away from flames – they are highly flammable!
