We want to share with you how you can make your home smell like the Christmas naturally, without chemicals. Holidays are the perfect season to use cinnamon, nutmeg and pine as natural fresheners.

4  Natural Ways to Make Your Home Smell Like Christmas

1. Make a Natural Stove Top Popuri

Simmer 1 cup of cranberries, two rosemary sprigs, a few cinnamon sticks, and four orange slices in a large pot covered with water. You can let this simmer all day long to create a lasting festive smell.

2. Use Vanilla 

This is a great trick if your home needs a quick freshen up. Put three tablespoons of vanilla extract into a coffee cup, place in the oven at 300 degrees for around an hour (make sure your mug is heat proof), and within minutes your home will smell incredible!

3. Make Pomanders

Making a few pomanders is simple and works as not only a fragrance but part of your holiday decor. All it really takes are oranges and cloves! Check out a great tutorial here.
