But what the best Christmas candle scents are? Here I share my favorites that will surely get that holiday smell in your house!
Christmas Cookie
What is the best thing about the Holidays? In my opinion, the wonderful aroma of freshly baked Christmas cookies that fills the house creating an instant cozy atmosphere, so when the festive season is approaching, I make sure to always have some Christmas Cookie candles at home.

The warming smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla mixed with baked notes will surely bring up some of your lovely Christmas memories and maybe even make you want to go bake a batch of cookies yourself!
Balsam and Cedar
Aromatic candles with balsam and cedar notes create a fresh-smelling atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in an enchanted winter forest enjoying the wonderful scents of the holiday season.

Those who are looking for Christmas tree scented candles will love the aromatic Frasier Fir smell!

Place a few of these candles all over the house and I’m sure you’ll get many many compliments on how great they make the whole house smell!
Spiced Eggnog
The creamy smell of eggnog is amongst the warmest holiday scents. While most people say that the holidays aren’t the holidays without traditional Christmas punch, many don’t like to make it because of the raw egg content. If you belong to the latter group but still don’t want to miss out on the wonderful aroma in your house, then get a few eggnog candles!

Candy Cane
Candy cane is one of the best Christmas candle scents if you want a refreshing fragrance. The creamy notes of strawberries and vanilla are ideally mixed with a hint of fresh peppermint in this scent combination that will boost your mood and make you feel more energetic in this festive season.

Cinnamon and apple aromas are another amazing warming Christmas scents that envelope you on a cold day in winter.

Mistletoe
Probably the loveliest Christmas tradition is when you are under the mistletoe to kiss the person you are next to under it. To make such moments even more memorable and to feel the love between significant others and family members, a mistletoe scented candle is a wonderful choice!
