Make your home extra cozy this season with these November diffuser blends! These fall-themed blends are perfect for Thanksgiving and the holiday season.
Thanksgiving diffuser blends are not only great for Thanksgiving day, but throughout this whole holiday season!
There are so many things to love about November: homemade pumpkin soap, pumpkin pie, beautiful autumn leaves, and Thanksgiving dinner, to name a few.
It is such an exciting time of year, as we have officially entered the wonderful Holiday Season.
It is time to get those Christmas lists out and pies in the oven. Make the season even more special by diffusing seasonal essential oil blends!
Below I share the best essential oils to diffuse during the wonderful month of November and some lovely November diffuser blends. They’ll make your home feel extra cozy and inviting this time of year.
Why We Love Diffusing Essential Oils
- Cozy seasonal scents: Nothing gets me in the mood for autumn like lovely essential oil blends! With scents like pumpkin pie and spiced apple cider, these blends will make it feel like November.
- Aromatherapy: The smell of essential oils isn’t just enjoyable, it can actually have a significant impact on your mood and wellbeing! Aromatherapy from essential oils is just what I need when the chaos of the holidays hits.
- Skip the candles: Scented candles are a popular way to make your house smell seasonal, but they can be quite harmful to our health! Many store-bought candles contain paraffin wax, heavy metals, and artificial fragrance which are released into the air we breathe. Diffusing gives you the lovely scents without any of the harmful ingredients! Of course, I’m still a fan of scented candles; I just opt for homemade candles with essential oils, like my rosemary mint soy candle.

Best Essential Oils for Thanksgiving
Cinnamon
This essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree and smells just like fall! It has a distinct fragrance and can be a very beneficial mood enhancer.
Clove
This essential oil is a perfect addition to any fall diffuser blend because it has a spicy fall aroma and pairs well with the other autumnal oils. I especially love diffusing clove essential oil because it boosts the immune system, which is very important this time of year!
Cardamom
Known for its ability to ease the digestive system, support healthy respiratory function, and calm the nervous system, cardamom is a great essential oil to diffuse during the busy holiday season.
Cassia
Another oil that smells like fall, cassia has a sweet yet spicy aroma. It is an uplifting oil that will certainly improve everybody’s moods when you diffuse it!
Wild Orange
The sweet citrus smell of orange makes my list of the best smelling essential oils and pairs nicely with one of the spicier oils on this list. Wild orange is uplifting, energizing, and can promote a positive mood. It may even reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression!
Juniper Berry
Similar to the wild orange, the juniper berry has a sweet citrus smell. When used aromatically, it is very calming.
Coriander
Distilled from the coriander seed, this essential oil has a pleasantly fresh and spicy aroma. It pairs nicely with other fall essential oils!
Ginger
Ginger is commonly used for its benefits to the digestive system, but ginger essential oil also has a warm and spicy aroma, perfect for fall. This oil can boost the immune system, reduce nausea, and decrease inflammation.
Sandalwood
One of my all-time favorite essential oils, sandalwood adds a wonderful, long-lasting scent to any fall diffuser blend. It has a woodsy, calming aroma that is not overpowering.
Douglas Fir
Douglas fir adds a fresh, woodsy aroma to any essential oil blend. It gives blends a hint of Christmas, which I love as the season approaches!
Expert Tips

Thank you for sharing!
Just a quick tip for those who live in an area with hard water….use distilled water in your diffuser. Distilled water will not leave a white film on your surfaces near the diffuser. ๐
Where do you buy your oils from?
doTERRA
Thanks so much. These blends sound amazing. Can’t wait to try a few.
I think you are amazing. A beautiful soul. Everything you put your hands to do it just comes out picture perfect. Even when you were pregnant you were busy being an example of taking care of yourself and your family. Such a good Christ like example. I on the other hand am not as on the move like you, I wish I was. Thank you for being a good role model for any woman married or single. Have a blessed holiday.
Thanks for the kind words! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Do we adjust the drops based on diffuser size? If so how much
I do it more on room size and preference.
Hello,
