Not One for Room Sprays? This Christmas Simmer Will Make Your Home Smell Delicious in Time for the Festivities

A kitchen island with hosting essentials such as four glasses, a candelabra and a large wooden cheeseboard.

I think it's safe to say that we're all already on our way to transforming our homes into winter wonderlands. The itch to get your decor out and adorn a space with holly, tinsel, mistletoe and all other things merry often comes early — sometimes before Halloween even (no judgment there). But ornaments and baubles aren't the only ways to lift your home's seasonal spirits.

Scents and fragrances are another amazing hack to trick your space into feeling the Christmas joy. And while scented candles, diffusers, and room sprays are usually our go-to's, we do have another rising format that's quite the winning formula for home scenting — simmers. Whether you call them boils or simmers, you're likely familiar with the concept of letting some delectable natural ingredients infuse boiling water and the air around with a warm aroma. And if you ask us, a simmer is the perfect way to make your home smell like Christmas.
