Essential Oils for Holiday Decorating

Cinnamon is synonymous with the holidays. It’s warm, spicy scent evokes memories of baking cookies and sipping hot cocoa. Diffusing cinnamon essential oil can fill your home with a comforting aroma that is perfect for the season. You can also add a few drops to your holiday candles or mix it with other oils like orange and clove for a delightful blend. Special note: Cinnamon oil’s spicy scent can be irritating if used in large amounts, so it’s best to start with a drop or two and see how you react. Additionally, always avoid contact with your eyes and mucous membranes.

2. Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint is another classic holiday scent. Its fresh, invigorating aroma can help you stay alert and focused during the busy holiday season. Use 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil in your diffuser to create a refreshing and uplifting environment. You can also add 2-3 drops to your homemade holiday cleaners to give your home a clean, minty scent. Similar to cinnamon oil, peppermint oil should be used sparingly.

3. Pine Essential Oil

Pine essential oil brings the outdoors inside, making your home feel like a winter wonderland. Its fresh, woodsy scent is perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere. Diffuse 2-3 drops of pine oil in your living room or bedroom to enjoy its calming and grounding properties. You can also add 2-3 drops to your holiday wreaths or garlands to enhance their natural fragrance.

4. Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense has a rich, resinous scent that is often associated with spiritual and meditative practices. It can help create a sense of peace and tranquility, making it ideal for the holiday season when stress levels can rise. Add 3 drops of frankincense essential oil to your diffuser or add 4 drops to ½ cup of Epsom salt and mix it into your bathwater for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Ginger is known for its warm, spicy, and slightly sweet aroma. It can help create an inviting atmosphere in your home. Diffuse 2-3 drops of ginger essential oil to uplift your mood and enhance your holiday spirit.

Orange essential oil has a bright, citrusy scent that can lift your spirits and create a joyful atmosphere. It is perfect for the holiday season when you want to add a touch of cheer to your home. Diffuse 4-5 drops of orange oil in your living room or kitchen to create a welcoming and festive environment. You can also add 5-6 drops to your holiday decorations, such as orange slices or citrus-scented candles.

7. Eucalyptus Essential Oil

How to Use Essential Oils for Holiday Decorating

One of the easiest and most effective ways to use essential oils is with a diffuser. Simply add 3-4 drops of your chosen oil to the diffuser and let it work its magic. You can place diffusers in different rooms of your home to create a consistent and pleasant aroma.

Candles

Add 2-3 drops of essential oil to your holiday candles before lighting them. This will enhance their fragrance and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Or you can make your own DIY essential oil soy candles.

Room Sprays

Create your own room sprays by mixing 4-5 drops of essential oils with water in a small spray bottle[1] . Shake well before use and spritz around your home to freshen the air and add a touch of holiday cheer.

Decorations

Add 3-4 drops of essential oil to your holiday decorations, such as wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces. This will not only enhance their natural fragrance but also create a multi-sensory experience.
