To make your kitchen smell like Christmas, you can use natural ingredients and essential oils to create a festive aroma. Here are a few ways to do it:
- Simmer potpourri: In a pot, combine water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for a few hours, adding water as needed. This will create a warm, spicy aroma that’s perfect for the holiday season.
- Baked goods: Bake some holiday treats like gingerbread, cinnamon rolls, or sugar cookies. The scent of freshly baked goods will fill your kitchen with the delicious aromas of Christmas.
- Essential oils: Use essential oils to create a holiday scent. Combine a few drops of cinnamon, clove, and orange essential oils in a diffuser or add them to a carrier oil and use as a room spray. You can also add a few drops of these oils to your simmer potpourri for an extra boost of holiday fragrance.
- Pine and cedar: Bring in some pine and cedar branches or a wreath to add a natural Christmas scent to your kitchen. The fresh, woody aroma will make your home feel cozy and inviting.
With these simple tips, you can make your kitchen smell like Christmas and create a warm and festive atmosphere for the holiday season.

Instructions:
