I think candles are magical little wax beings. They bring peace and coziness. They scream nostalgia to many winter wonders such as candy canes, snow, baking cookies, gifts, gingerbread houses and other countless things. Winter is the time where all the best scents come out, and you can find them all here. Bath and Body Works candles are currently $10 off! Now is the perfect time to stock up on all of them, and take your holiday season to the next level. 

Winter Candy Apple

Bath and Body Works tells us this scent smells like “Candied apples, crisp pears, and oranges with essential oils.” It reminds me a lot of apple cider. You can find it here.

Vanilla Bean Noel is a winter classic. Bath and Body Works describes one of their most infamous scents as “Vanilla bean, marshmallow fluff, vanilla cake with essential oils.” You can buy it here

Sugared Snickerdoodle

The name sold me. However, if that doesn’t do it for you, Bath and Body Works says this one smells like “Red cinnamon stick, Christmas clove buds, ground nutmeg with essential oils.” See? It’s perfect. Buy it here.

Winter

“White woods, pine needles, sparkling clementine, spiced clove with essential oils.” That’s what Bath and Body Works tells us about “Winter.” It is a cozy scent that encompasses winter’s favorite things. Check it out here

Fresh Sparkling Snow

Bath and Body Works describes this scent as “Icy melon, winter pine, fresh citrus with essential oils.” I love this candle almost as much as I love snow. Find it here.

Hot Cocoa and Cream

There’s nothing I love more on a winter evening than drinking a cup of hot cocoa while chilling in my favorite fuzzy socks and watching a holiday classic. This candle is the perfect addition to that. Bath and Body Works says it smells like “Decadent milk chocolate, fresh steamed milk, mini marshmallows with essential oils.” You can get it here

Spiced Gingerbread

Are you a fan of gingerbread houses? Then this is the candle for you. Bath and Body Works describes it as “vanilla icing, cinnamon sugar, fresh ground nutmeg with essential oils.” Though lighting this candle isn’t as fun as building a gingerbread house, it is just as yummy. Buy it here

Candy canes are one of the best parts of the holidays. They are indulgent in the freshest of ways. So is this candle. Bath and Body Works tells us it smells of “Crunchy peppermint, white sugar crystals, frosted mint leaf with essential oils.” Find it here.
