Bath & Body Works Brings Back Three Iconic Holiday Fragrances with Holiday Traditions Collection

The holiday season has arrived at Bath & Body Works with the return of three of the brand’s most recognizable seasonal fragrances: Winter Candy Apple, Vanilla Bean Noel and Twisted Peppermint.

For more than two decades, these fragrances have been a part of holiday traditions for Bath & Body Works consumers. Winter Candy Apple debuted in 1999, Vanilla Bean Noel launched in 2002 and Twisted Peppermint first arrived in 2006, making 2026 the first year all three fragrances have surpassed the 20-year milestone.

Each set of fragrance notes captures a distinct trait of the season:

• Winter Candy Apple: Crisp apple, winter florals and sweet citrus create a bright, festive fragrance.

• Vanilla Bean Noel: Creamy vanilla and warm, sweet notes create a comforting gourmand fragrance inspired by holiday treats.

• Twisted Peppermint: Cool peppermint and soft sweetness capture the playful energy of the season.

This year’s Holiday Traditions packaging brings the collection together through a rich color palette and gold accents.

“We were inspired by the magical essence of the holiday season. We wanted to create something very different for Holiday Traditions this year by peeling back the layers and letting the celebratory spirit of the season shine,” said Holiday Traditions designers Jill Henshaw and Ale De los Rios. “We love how the color-drenched palette brings each classic holiday fragrance to life as its own enchanting suite, while delicate gold foil accents offer a subtle nod to the scent within.”

The collection also offers new and returning ways to experience the fragrances. For the first time, all three will be available as lip oils. Shapeable Soap also returns, bringing back the playful, moldable body care form that previously gained attention on social media.

The entire Bath & Body Works Holiday Traditions collection is available at bathandbodyworks.com and in Bath & Body Works stores in U.S. and Canada.
