Winter is such a fun time of year; you get to celebrate holidays, bring trees inside and decorate them, send holiday cards, and more.

One thing I love is creating winter essential oil blends to diffuse that remind me of the season. I love to have crisp scents that warm me up on a chilly day, and these winter essential oil diffuser blends below will do just that. There are a few Christmas blend recipes in this post – but if that’s what you are looking for, we created a whole separate post just for Christmas Blends for the Diffuser too!

How to Know If the Essential Oils Will Blend Well 

I often get asked how do I know if scents will go well together. This is the way I test out blends before adding the essential oils into my diffuser. I simply pick out the oils I am debating on, open them up and then hold them in my hand and smell. You will get a mix of their scents, and you can see how you like it. Or add a drop of each in your hands or on a paper towel and then sniff.

You can create any scent you want by mixing as many oils as you choose. Get creative and try blends and see how it goes. There is no wrong blend to use; it is all about the scents you enjoy when they combine.

When it's cold outside, there is nothing quite like having crisp scents to warm us up. Essential oils are perfect for that. Take a look at these essential oil diffuser blend recipes that are perfect for the winter season - in addition to a few recipes to help build your immune system during the cold winter months.

My Favorite Winter Essential Oil Blends for the Diffuser

All of these blends are great for your home, office, or even traveling and diffusing in your car. I have some seasonal scents and at the bottom, you will find blends for if you are feeling under the weather, to help give you a boost.

Winter Blues 

If you are feeling down, try this blend; it is a great mood booster for the winter blues.

  • 4 drops Petitgrain Bigarade
  • 2 drops Juniper
  • 2 drops Orange

Spiced Chai 

Nothing is more comforting than a cup of warm spiced Chai, and that is what this blend reminds me of.

  • 3 drops Cardamom
  • 1 drop Clove
  • 1 drop Orange
  • 1 drop Cinnamon

Orange Woods 

A citrus blend with a woody scent paired with it. Really refreshing, and screams winter weather to me.

  • 2 drops Cypress
  • 2 drops Spikenard
  • 2 drops Orange

Spiced Cider 

I love spiced cider, and this blend is similar to the smell. Granted, you don’t use an apple oil for it, but you still get the illusion of the apples in the fragrance.

  • 3 drops Ginger
  • 2 drops Cinnamon
  • 1 drop Orange

Woodsy Blend 

Love the smell of trees in the winter? Then try this diffuser blend.

  • 2 drops Grapefruit
  • 1 drop Pine
  • 1 drop Black Pepper

Fire and Ice 

This is a neat blend that offers a soft and spicy scent that acts like a fire and ice blend, hence the name!

  • 4 drops Peppermint
  • 3 drops Cinnamon

Sweater Weather 

This is such a warm and cozy scent that makes you want to curl up under a blankie and read a book or watch a good movie.

  • 3 drops Eucalyptus
  • 2 drops Juniper Berry
  • 1 drop Sage

Candy Cane Lane 

Can’t go wrong with this candy cane lane blend; it smells like a delicious candy cane!

  • 3 drops Peppermint
  • 1 drop Cinnamon Bark
  • 1 drop Spearmint

Christmas Tree 

If you want the smell of a Christmas tree in your home, try this blend. It is a very woody scent, as pine is the base scent.

  • 3 drops Pine
  • 1 drop Patchouli
  • 1 drop Clove

Christmas Spirit 

This blend always makes me feel like there is snow on the ground and Santa is about to come and deliver presents. It is such a wonderful Christmas blend.

  • 4 drops Spruce
  • 3 drops Cinnamon
  • 3 drops Orange

Joy Of The Holidays 

This is a very relaxing and inviting scent that I think helps lift the spirits for the holidays. This offers a spicy, woody, and sweet scent to fill up your room!

  • 3 drops Frankincense
  • 3 drops Orange
  • 1 drop Peppermint

Order your essential oils from our favorite supplier here.

Congestion 

Now, if you have a cold or flu, try this blend to help eliminate that congestion that has you down!

  • 3 drops Peppermint
  • 2 drops Eucalyptus
  • 2 drops Tea Tree
  • 1 drop Lemon

Sore Throat 

If you have a sore throat, this blend can help relieve that pain and ache you feel.

  • 2 drops Rosemary
  • 2 drops Lemon
  • 2 drops Cinnamon
  • 2 drops Eucalyptus

Germ-Away 

Help keep your home free from those cold and flu germs floating around. Diffuse this blend to help cleanse the air in your home.

  • 3 drops Lemon
  • 2 drops Ginger
  • 2 drops Frankincense
  • 2 drops Orange

Immune Support 

Help keep your immunity up this winter with this essential oil blend. I generally diffuse this once a day, or if I feel we are coming down with something, a few times a day.

  • 1 drop Orange
  • 1 drop Clove
  • 1 drop Rosemary
  • 1 drop Cinnamon
  • 1 drop Eucalyptus

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
