Hi Friends and Happy Fri Yay!
Today I am dedicating my Friday Faves to my favorite scents and tastes of the Christmas season....yeah yeah I know Thanksgiving is next week but there is no better time to snag these festive treats to get ready for all of the JOY of this season! As always, linking up HERE
Yankee Candle's Christmas Eve
I have been burning this candle for close to 20 years....so happy they have not discontinued it....just smells of Christmas Eve magic..not sure how else to describe it!
Gingerbread Construction Company's Gingerbread Muffin
Local friends...if you have not been you MUST and this is the perfect time of year...they are known for their beautiful gingerbread houses...they also sell the kits so you can decorate your own at home BUT their real rock stars are their muffins- they have so many flavors but nothing compares to the sweet and spicy gingerbread muffin with cream cheese icing....it tastes like Santa's Village ;) There are two locations- Wakefield, MA and Winchester, MA
Angel Perfume
This debuted at Christmastime over 20 years ago...you could only purchase it in Filene's....then when they went out...Macy's carried it...now you can get it in multiple places....anyway, it is a perfect scent for this time of year because it actually has hints of chocolate...kid you not! Perfect mix of sweet and spicy and perfect holiday scent!
Bath and Body Works Twisted Peppermint
Oh I discovered this scent last year and love how they make it for a candle, hand soap and hand lotion....just the perfect peppermint....I keep this burning in my office because I am all about the Christmas pastels in here :)
My Mom's Peppermint Angel Food Cake
Looks and tastes like Christmas to me
You can find a similar recipe HERE
She would make it every year I was in college when I came home for Christmas break....reminds me of home
That's a wrap! Just a little joy to start your weekends off right!
I love all holiday smells. I totally need to pick up a few new candles I think. And that angel food cake looks so good!

ReplyDeleteI love that Christmas Eve scent too. I've never heard of it but that twisted peppermint sounds great too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN way to do your Friday faves!!!!! That twisted peppermint B&B candle looks amazing! Wish I could smell through the computer. ;)
ReplyDeleteBath and Body Works' holiday scents are second to none! The candles sell out so fast here though!

I love all the holiday smells. I just ordered a ton of candles from Bath and Body Works, all holiday/Winter type scents!
ReplyDeleteYes, Gingerbread construction company has really good muffins. We used to live in Wilmington, so I've been there quite a few times. I love Twisted peppermint. I have the body lotion.

That peppermint candle jar is so cute- those colors! And that muffin looks heavenly. I burn wax melts- evergreen scent is my favorite. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat Christmas Eve candle is the best!! Your mom’s cake looks delicious too. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think we had the Twisted Peppermint soap last year and I LOVED it. Sadly, we haven't been to BBW since Covid hit but I may need to try and go and pick up some of their Christmas soaps.
ReplyDeleteThat angel food cake looks amazing! I love the idea of adding some holiday flair to it - YUM!!!
