Indulge in a pure dose of childhood nostalgia with this Yuletime-perfect EDP- guaranteed to transport you to a crackling fireplace and the cozy comforts of Christmas no matter what time of year you spray it". $175 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Luckyscent.

Another antiperspirant option for the holidays: Dove's Hot Cocoa Swirl. "Get cozy as the delectable scent of rich hot chocolate with notes of cocoa & toasted marshmallow envelop you like a big warm hug, no mug needed". $7 for 74g at Target, where you'll also find Hot Cocoa Swirl in Body Wash, Body Scrub and Bar Soap, or, go for one of this year's other limited edition flavors, Frosted Plum or Gingerbread Delight, OR, mosey over to Walmart for the limited edition Dove fragrances Spiced Chai Latte, Sugar Cookie Sprinkle and Peppermint Bark.
