Yankee Candle’s New Global Holiday Collection

This holiday season, Yankee Candle is taking the joy of seasonal traditions and bottling it up. Their latest Passport to the Holidays collection invites us to journey across the globe through scent, celebrating festivities from busy cities to snow-draped wonderlands. With an added Après Ski collection for those who crave cozy, fireside moments, this year’s offerings promise to fill every corner of your home with holiday cheer.

The World Awaits—One Candle at a Time

For many of us, holiday fragrances are synonymous with cherished memories. Yankee Candle is pushing the boundaries by creating scents that mimic global holiday traditions. From warm Parisian bakeries to the sunny beaches of Australia, the Passport to the Holidays collection delivers six unique fragrances to inspire your wanderlust. What’s the magic behind these scents? We say it’s a combination of nostalgia and careful craftsmanship. 

“Fragrance is the quickest way to escape without packing a suitcase,” says Nick Virginio, Senior Director of Brand Management. With Yankee Candle’s new scents, you can experience Christmas on different continents without leaving the comfort of your couch.

Explore the Passport to the Holidays Collection

• Big Apple Christmas: Channel the charm of New York City during the holidays with the fresh, crisp scent of apples, a touch of festive spices, and just a hint of melted sugarcane sweetness.
• Parisian Holiday Brunch: Imagine stepping into a dreamy French café, surrounded by the buttery aroma of croissants, raspberry preserves, and fig kissed with brown sugar.
• London Christmas Tea: A quintessential afternoon tea scene comes alive with warming notes of ginger, black tea, and woody cinnamon.
• 'Tis the Sea-Sun in Sydney: Not every holiday has to be frosty! This sunny scent is inspired by Australia. It blends tropical nectars, orange blossoms, and sandy woods for a beachy Christmas escape.
• North Pole Hideaway: Breathe in icy air, cool mint, and soft snow powder—it’s as if Santa left his workshop door open just for you.
• Munich Christmas Market (exclusive to Yankee Candle stores): Picture yourself wandering through a Bavarian market with scents of orange zest, spiced cookies, anise, and indulgent dark chocolate wafting through the air.

For the Ski Lodge Dreamers: The Après Ski Collection

If holiday magic for you means snowflakes, slopes, and warm fires, Yankee Candle’s Après Ski collection is the cozy companion you’ve been waiting for. This six-fragrance lineup draws inspiration from mountaintop retreats, the charm of frosty days, and the beauty of starry nights.

• Holiday Winterfest: The pine-scented essence of fresh herbs and sparkling citrus brings to mind lively celebrations in a snowy lodge.
• Santa on Skis: A whimsical blend of clove bud, tart berries, and vanilla makes this scent as fun and festive as Santa Claus.
• Slopeside Spritz: Raise a toast to après ski relaxation with sparkling notes of prosecco, rose, and grapefruit zest.
• Vanilla Flurries: Soft, sugared vanilla crystals paired with sweet amber and earthy vetiver are much like the quiet beauty of snowfall.
• Summit Stargazing: Imagine gazing at the Northern Lights with notes of winter tuberose, candied violet, and rainbow berries filling the air.
• Fresh Powder: Crisp snowdrops, winter pine, and soft white musk come together for the clean scent of untouched snowfall.

Beyond their irresistible scents, these collections double as décor. The jars are designed with elegant winter-inspired motifs.
