Want to make your home smell amazing for the holidays? Try this Christmas Air Freshener made with essential oils. It’s perfect to use all winter long and easy to make.
I love using seasonal air fresheners, especially around the holidays. It’s a great way to make your home feel extra cozy. My only issue is so many of the room sprays have ingredients I don’t like in my home.
One of the ingredients often found in conventional air freshener is phthalates. Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in air fresheners and other products to help the fragrance last longer.
The problem with these chemicals is they are endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors can cause everything from adverse reproductive, neurological developmental, and immune effects.
Making your own air freshener using essential oils helps avoid these chemicals and it’s fun to create your own scent combinations. I like playing with scents so much I rarely make the same spray more than once.
This Fresh Winter Christmas Air Freshener is one of my favorites. It makes me think of cool winter air and leaves my home smelling so fresh and clean. It’s a bit lighter then some winter scents and can be a nice change of pace.

Create a Fresh Winter Air Freshener Spray Gift
Homemade air fresheners make great gifts. You can give it alone or create a nice gift basket with it. They are a really nice addition to a self-care gift basket.
Adding a cute tag helps make it even more festive. I’ve seen some adorable tags at Target and at Michaels. Add some cute ribbon and you are good to go.
I created my own tag using my Silhouette, Silhouette Sketch Pens, baker’s twine, and a Christmas sticker. I simply used a cut file that I adapted and added text to use with the Sketch Pens.
You can also use my cute free printable Christmas gift tags. Simply print out the tags, for best results use cardstock, and on the back write Fresh Winter Air Freshener. Tie them on with some cute ribbon or baker’s twine and you are good to go.
Now you can enjoy your homemade Christmas air freshener and this simple gift. Be sure to try the other homemade air freshener scents on this site as well.
