Essential Oil Diffuser Blends for Christmas

These 10 essential oil diffuser blends for Christmas will have your home smelling like the holidays the all-natural way with just one easy push of your diffuser button!

I love my diffuser. When I was gifted my first set of essential oils, I got a diffuser as a bonus. At the time, I didn’t know much about essential oils and I wasn’t “sold” on them yet. So they sat there with the diffuser collecting dust for a while before I started to learn how to use them.

Finally I decided to try them out. The diffuser was a great way to get started because I didn’t really have to worry about things like dilution ratios or phytotoxicity or anything else one might have to worry about with topical applications.

Just add water and a few drops of essential oils of your choice and hit the power button on your diffuser. Then enjoy the fragrance and the health benefits of essential oils as they waft through your home.

I started using my diffuser here and there, but at the time I was using an expensive brand of oils and I was a bit stingy with them because I couldn’t really afford to reorder. But as soon as I switched to Plant Therapy (affiliate link), I was able to stock up for way less money, and so gradually I began using my diffuser more and more. Now I use my diffuser almost daily and I can’t imagine going back to using harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances to add scent to my home.
 
 Honestly, before I got into essential oils, I was a little addicted to synthetic fragrances. Way back in the day I used to actually use those store-bought room sprays that come with an explosive AND a poison warning on the front. Then I transitioned to mostly using candles full of synthetic fragrances to burn in my home to make it smell beautiful. 

Then I started making my own candles, but I still used synthetic fragrances to scent them. Finally, as I began to learn more about essential oils and the benefits of going all-natural, I also started learning more about the dangers of chemicals and synthetic fragrances, and I began to cut them out of my life completely.

Today I make all of my own candles and room sprays with 100% essential oils. But the diffuser is still my favourite way to add the scent and benefits of essential oils to the air that I and my family breathe.

I like to use all sorts of different oils for different health benefits, but I must admit I most often choose the oils I want to diffuse because of the way they smell. And so I also tend to choose my diffuser blends based on what time of year it is.

Different Diffuser Blends for Different Seasons

In the spring and summer, I opt for light, fresh, clean scents like lavender, lemon, bergamot and lime.

In the winter, especially at Christmas time, I have a tendency toward using warm, comforting oils like orange, cinnamon and clove (great for fall too!), as well as oils that smell like a fresh snowfall or a Christmas tree farm!

I’ve spent the past couple of years building my oil collection and working on my blends, and I’ve come up with a few favourite blends for this time of year. Of course, I’m always looking to expand my repertoire, so if you have your own favourite blends (Christmas or otherwise), please let me know in the comments down below:)
