Bath & Body Works
If you haven’t tried this classic Bath & Body Works fragrance, now’s the time. This year, Winter Candy Apple is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. And it’s not hard to believe that the candle and body care mainstay has made the collection cut yearly, as the notes of red apples, crisp pears, and candied oranges are simply scrumptious and divine.
Snowflakes & Cashmere

Bath & Body Works
For a clean and cozy fragrance, pick up Snowflakes & Cashmere. Vanilla cashmere cream and caramel woods create a warm and inviting base, while frosted clementine provides a cool-toned top note.
Peppermint Bark

Winter
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/winter-43e6b3e0d6ea4a26a44f88dbf581a202.png)
Bath & Body Works
A glistening, bright, woodsy winter wonderland is what you get when you burn Winter. Notes of white woods, pine needles, sparkling clementine, and spiced clove remind us of spending time in the great outdoors and doing festive activities like ice skating, skiing, and sledding.
Bright Christmas Morning
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/BrightChristmasMorning-be3e9af6c79948bf8df90715e9fef280.png)
Bath & Body Works
Rise and shine! Red berries, blood orange, and crisp apple combine to create a delightful holiday candle with a festive, fruity aroma. That way, you can enjoy the vibes of a bright Christmas morning even when it’s not the 25th.
Christmas Cabin
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/christmascabin-2d357f155fb14fff83af8adf68636434.png)
Bath & Body Works
Don’t have a fireplace? No problem. Christmas Cabin brings the sensorial experience of a cozy chalet to your home, with notes that perfectly replicate a smoky, crackling fire.
Gingerbread Bakery
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/gingerbreadbakery-4d25d00cbbc14d54ace23bdd1e23ecd2.png)
Bath & Body Works
For those who adore the scent of fresh cookies out of the oven but dislike sickly-sweet smells, Gingerbread Bakery is the candle for you. It’s got all the cinnamon spiciness of your favorite Christmas cookie with the grounding warmth of brown sugar.
‘Tis The Season
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/tistheseason-00dbf9c98df84d1eb59b06003a2aa36b.png)
Bath & Body Works
Bath & Body Works has never made gift-giving so simple. This luxe candle, complete with a 3D bow topper, requires no wrapping. Simply present the candle and let the exterior (and classic rich red apple, sweet cinnamon, and cedarwood notes) do the talking.
Champurrado
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/feliznavidad-febdf69acdb64deb8c24ce1adc4fe4f5.png)
Bath & Body Works
Comforting and sweet with a slight kick, thanks to notes of spiced Mexican chocolate, masa, caramel piloncillo, and steamed milk, Champurrado is already heating up to be a fan favorite. The gorgeous yellow wax and gold wrapping doesn’t hurt its chances, either.
North Pole Punch
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/northpole-e2790a7f9536447594c4f53204a61cb9.png)
Bath & Body Works
Everyone knows single wicks make great White Elephant or Secret Santa gifts. But what makes North Pole Punch—a fruity concoction of merry cherries, jolly cranberries, and a dash of sugar—even more suited for the role is the built-in gift tag on the jar, where you can fill in your recipient’s name.
Vanilla Bean Noel
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/vanillabeannoel-bc2dd10a0f47495da6724d243af55b9a.png)
Bath & Body Works
At this point, snagging a few Vanilla Bean Noel candles and body care products is a tradition. We simply can’t go a December without its heavenly vanilla bean, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla cake notes in our lives.
Mahogany Balsam
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/mahoganybalsam-711b8e05544643deabb5586a4a93d338.png)
Bath & Body Works
Think of this candle as a Christmas tree in a jar. Juniper berries, fresh balsam, mahogany wood, and sugared musk bring a forest of fragrance into your home—no cold-weather hiking required.
Vanilla Eggnog
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/vanillaeggnog-280f83757c2648d7906d74ef940c2292.png)
Bath & Body Works
Another new scent this year that’s gaining in popularity is Vanilla Eggnog. Creamy, with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon stick, this candle mimics the only cup of cheer Santa wants to see with his plate of cookies.
Flannel
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/flannel-bf71170461bb4f94ac7de33fe3c85bf5.png)

Cozy up with Flannel, a masculine-leaning woodsy blend that smells exactly like a cold winter’s night. Fresh bergamot, heirloom mahogany, and soft musk create a cuddly blend that you won’t want to stop sniffing.
Merry Cookie

What’s not to love about the sugary, pillowy softness of Merry Cookie? This combo of fresh baked cookies, sparkling sugar crystals, and rich vanilla makes for a perfect straight-out-the-oven fragrance.
Chocolate Covered Orange
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/chocolateorange-cbd43ef6672040d3af7b7a00e505de3e.png)
Bath & Body Works
The rush you got from finding a chocolate-covered orange in your stocking is now encapsulated in a candle. As the name suggests, Chocolate Covered Orange combines fresh, juicy orange with rich milk chocolate for a treat that you could (almost) eat.
The Perfect Christmas
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/theperfectchristmas-bf2df365f19341faafff6063d7dd29d2.png)
Bath & Body Works
While this may seem cliché, given the candle’s name, The Perfect Christmas really is the perfect Christmas scent. A blend of fresh-cut pine, cinnamon sugar, and toasted marshmallows evokes the warm and cozy memories of holiday gatherings with friends and family. It’s purely seasonal magic.
Tree Farm
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/treefarm-b726f0a163d742e3b2a6c588f1f9a7dc.png)
Bath & Body Works
Get in—we’re headed off to pick the perfect pine with Tree Farm. Notes of crisp pine needles, warm cedar, and spiced apple transport us to scanning the fields (or a lot) for the perfect tree to open presents under, with cider in hand.
Golden Berry Mistletoe
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/goldenberrymistletoe-39de556d801a4da79d18792a24fdc8e9.png)
Bath & Body Works
Let’s meet under the mistletoe. And by mistletoe, we mean the Golden Berry Mistletoe. This candle provides plenty of festive, holiday party-worthy cheer with notes akin to Christmas punch—sparkling berries, sugared spruce, and frosted air.
Hot Cocoa & Cream
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/hotcocoa-57148dc24c874d18aaf7e10e32b3a7c6.png)
Bath & Body Works
Light this candle, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and you’ll swear a hot cup of fresh cocoa is in your hands. Decadent milk chocolate, fresh steamed milk, and mini marshmallows make this candle smell like the real deal. But chocolate, gourmand-lovers beware—you’ll be hooked with just one burn.
Lavender & Pine
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/lavendaerPine-104a0edc0cef4a36a6b9f2b28c029063.png)
Bath & Body Works
While many candles rely on big, bold notes to convey festive vibes, Lavender & Pine does so subtly. Notes of freshly picked lavender, cedarwood bark, and frosted pine will make you believe you’re unwinding in a mountain lodge spa on winter vacation rather than just burning a candle at home.
Spiced Apple Toddy
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/spiceapple-75bc1da4c1cd4bea84f399aba82fa736.png)
Bath & Body Works
Your favorite festive nightcap works well as a candle, too. Spiced Apple Todd’s notes of warm apple brandy, spiced plum, tart cranberry, and cinnamon stick have all the makings of a winter potpourri pot simmering away on a stovetop.
Frosted Coconut Snowball
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/frostedcoconut-cff5a8500d2a4c558ae8f20ebe30dff6.png)
Bath & Body Works
Light and airy with a balanced scent profile of toasted coconut, vanilla musk, and whipped cream, Frosted Coconut Snowball is a winter classic in both home and body categories. However, we’re loving it in candle form this year, as the luminary snowflake jar design is absolutely stunning.
Frosted Cranberry
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/frostedcranberrty-ab3a3e289fd84a4c8b332568cb407021.png)
Bath & Body Works
Fruity yet refined, Frosted Cranberry is a seasonal mainstay that works for Thanksgiving and beyond. Blonde woods, red apple, and tonka bean elevate the iced cranberry to a level beyond just a holiday dinner sauce.
Champagne Toast
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/champagnetoast-678db0dc10db40bc90b4cae3dc338a23.png)
Bath & Body Works
Yes, Champagne Toast is technically not only a part of the holiday collection. But, while the fragrance is available all year round, it’s easy to see why it gets repackaged this time of year. Champagne Toast’s notes of bubbly champagne, sparkling berries, and juicy tangerine make it an inoffensive, effervescent choice for gift-giving.
