Bath & Body Works is ringing in the 2025 holiday season with something for everyone — the nostalgic, the new, and the downright cozy. The brand’s latest holiday collection doesn’t just bring back classics, it builds a full winter world of fragrance across body care, candles, and home décor.

If you grew up dousing yourself in Twisted Peppermint before homeroom, you know exactly what’s coming — only better.

Holiday Traditions: The Classics That Started It All

Few scents trigger holiday memories quite like Winter Candy Apple and Vanilla Bean Noel — the ultimate mall-era duo — now dressed up in luxe packaging and a slightly richer scent profile. Their sparkling counterpart, Twisted Peppermint, returns to balance things out with that frosty, fresh kick.

Rounding out the lineup, newcomer Cookie Butter Truffle brings a bakery-sweet note that feels grown-up yet nostalgic — a little buttery, a little spiced, and completely irresistible.

Season’s Greetings & Solstice Spirit: The Cozy Core

The Season’s Greetings range leans into comfort and whimsy — think warm kitchens, handwritten cards, and the faint smell of sugar in the air. Santa’s Milk & Cookies channels soft vanilla and cream, while Gingerbread Latte layers in toasted spice for pure “stay-in” energy.

If you prefer your holidays a little more minimalist, Solstice Spirit shifts the vibe entirely; trade candy-sweet notes for soft berries, woods, and shimmer. Together, they capture the calm side of winter — less tinsel, more twinkle.

Then there’s Cozy Vanilla Bourbon, an under-the-radar favorite blending sweet vanilla and smooth amber for that “wrapped in a blanket with a drink by the fire” vibe.

Aromatherapy & Everyday Luxuries: For Your Calm Era

After the glitter and gatherings, the Aromatherapy and Everyday Luxuries lines bring things down to a slow, soothing rhythm. Vanilla + Nutmeg and Eucalyptus + Pine create a fresh, grounded atmosphere.

They’re the scents you burn, spray, or slather on when you want the holidays to feel peaceful again.

The Holiday Glow-Up

Bath & Body Works doesn’t reinvent its legacy; it refines it. This year’s lineup blends nostalgia, comfort, and quiet sophistication in a way that reminds us why the brand still owns the season.

Sure, we’ve traded glitter mists for linen sprays, but one whiff of Vanilla Bean Noel still feels like walking through the mall lights of our teens — warm, loud, and full of promise.

Some fragrances don’t just mark the holidays — they are the holidays.
