Christmas Scented Candles Help You Enjoy the Sweet Treats of the Season – No Calories, Guaranteed!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the baking, with the aroma of delicious sweet treats filling the kitchen.  Working full time doesn’t give me as many chances to make Christmas cookies, but I still find a way to indulge in those fragrances, with Christmas scented candles in scents like gingerbread and vanilla poundcake.  Illuminations.com offers these great fragrances as scented jar candles, and many are also available as pillars, in a large variety of sizes from tiny votives that will burn 15 hours to large jar candles that can last up to 100 hours.

I can’t decide whether my favorite richly scented candles are oatmeal raisin cookies or pumpkin pie.  One whiff of the oatmeal raisin cookie scented candle and I can almost taste the raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg mixed with vanilla and the earthy fragrance of warm oatmeal.  But who could resist pumpkin pie, complete with clove, cinnamon and nutmeg?  When I breathe in this one, I start looking for the whipped cream.  That’s why one of the best things about enjoying these candles is you vicariously get the pleasure of these treats with absolutely no calories!

If your favorite memories are tied to something sweet to drink instead, Illuminations has something for that too.  For something sweet, there’s apple cider, sharing the scent of green apples mixed with pear and brandy and just the right combination of spices.  When you are up late at night wrapping gifts, pretend you are in your favorite coffee shop with a coffee and cream scented candle.  Of course there are traditional Christmas beverage scents too, like eggnog, bayberry spice and mulled wine.  Yum!
