Essential oil room sprays are so easy to make, smell amazing, and have aromatherapy benefits for you. During the holidays, I love to switch the sprays out for a more festive scent. Check out these 8-holiday room spray recipes to help you get into the Christmas spirit.
If you are anything like me, you love a fresh-smelling house, but you hate chemicals. Anyone with me? I can’t compromise air quality for a good-smelling home. But what if you could improve the air you breathe while making your home smell good? Bring in the holiday room spray!
This recipe, or should I say recipes, can be just the thing to get you in the Christmas spirit. It is one simple recipe, but I will show you several variations so you switch up the scent throughout the holiday season.
Christmas room sprays are 100% natural, homemade, and scented with essential oils. And the best part? You only need witch hazel and essential oils to make them.
I recommend printing on waterproof label paper. This will keep them from smudging, and the printable labels will last much longer.
BEST CHRISTMAS ROOM SPRAY
The “smell of Christmas” may be a little different for each person. To me, it is a blend of spicey, minty, and a little woodsy. The cinnamon and clove smell of hot apple cider, the fresh scent of pine trees, or minty Christmas candies will all bring back all the Christmas memories.
I like to bring these beautiful smells of Christmas into my home with essential oils. Chrismas room sprays are the perfect way to do this. Last year, a few friends and I got together to make the sprays for Christmas gifts. It was so fun and made the perfect gifts!

HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS ROOM SPRAYS USING ESSENTIAL OILS
Choose the scent you want to make and add the essential oils to a 2-ounce glass spray bottle. If you’d like to make a larger batch, you can double the recipe. I prefer making smaller bottles so I can have one spray bottle of each scent.
Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water or witch hazel.
Shake before each use and mist the air throughout your home. Spray on Christmas ornaments, the tree, furniture, or pillows
Just like my Christmas Candles, releasing these essential oils into the air will make the house smell of Christmas and have amazing benefits for your health and wellness.
