The month after Thanksgiving either seems to fly by or drag on for weeks—depending on how ready you are for the holiday season. As you race to complete your Christmas shopping list and wrap presents destined for dear friends and family, take a moment to indulge in the scent of the season — with Drift. Our December car freshener Scent of the Month — Frosted Spruce — is the premium-scented early Christmas gift you can give your senses to infuse your environment with the merry spirit that characterizes this time of year. 

We can’t guarantee that you won’t break out in Christmas carols as you breathe in the distinctive scent of frosted pine, the refreshing aroma of balsam fir, the spicy citrus notes of juniper berries, and the headiness of cedarwood. Combined into Frosted Spruce, these elements evoke cherished memories of holidays past and deliver an exclusive experience that promises even more delight this December. Explore Drift’s Scent of the Month below, but don’t forget to sign up for signature scents delivered straight to your door all year long. 

Jingle Bells Among the Frosted Pines 

Sleigh rides through the sparkling snow drifts take on a new meaning with the festive sound of jingle bells. The horses snort snowy plumes of condensation as they prance through new-fallen snow, and the sleigh seems to float across the frosty landscape. With each jingle, the bells give voice to their own melody against the winter day’s peaceful stillness, accompanied only by the sleigh occupants’ joyful laughter. 

Overhead, frosted pines stretch toward the dusky night sky, their white-tipped tops pointing to various twinkling celestial beings too far away to even imagine. The winter wonderland below seems encased in a life-size snow globe, with countless snowflakes floating through the air like icy butterflies. Snowshoe prints and ski tracks dot the landscape but are quickly filled in with a powdery white snowfall. 

As soft pools of golden light beckon from beneath the broad-sloped chalet roofs, the soft murmur of close friends and family promises camaraderie and the warmth of shared smiles. Resplendent bells jingle once more as you open the door, greeting your loved ones with icy cold hands as you gratefully accept a steaming cup of holiday cheer. When the last light of the night grows dim, a sense of peace overcomes the silence. 

Trimming the Balsam Fir Tree

Finding the perfect Christmas tree should be the most challenging problem you face this December — not how to bring the holiday spirit to your car! Drift’s Frosted Spruce incorporates notes of balsam fir, a coniferous tree with a broad base and narrow top. You don’t have to put the distinctively shaped tree on your roof to inhale the rich, refreshing scent of balsam fir. 

After picking out the Christmas tree that will grace your living room, decorate the sprigs of green with holiday trimmings designed to usher in a time of gift-giving. Find places among the verdant boughs and symmetrical needles to nestle ornaments, tinsel, decorative lights, and strings of popcorn. Don’t forget the tree topper! 

Whether your Christmas tree stands three feet or thirty feet tall, make December a time of gathering. Make time for what matters most, regardless of how many presents stack up beneath the elegant boughs. 

Holiday Lights as Vibrant as Ripe Juniper Berries 

Junior juniper berries turn from vibrant green to blue, fading to a purply black hue as they mature. The rounded shape of ripe juniper berries resembles many winter-themed items, from snowballs ready for a friendly brawl to the brightly colored lights that dot Christmas trees around the country. Their spicy, citrusy taste mirrors the biting sweetness of winter, from the numerous holiday treats we enjoy to the nipping icy winds that keep us bundled up in warm winter gear. 

When the world turns to white, juniper berries and vividly colored objects like them seem to gain new life. Perhaps it’s the same reason why Christmas lights dazzle us as we tour local neighborhoods, gazing in awe at the decorations that turn an ordinary home into a festive funhouse. 

Hot Cocoa by the Cedarwood Fire Pit 

After a long day of sled rides, snow angels, and ice skating, it’s a luxury to warm up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. Complete with marshmallows, a candy cane stirring stick, whipped cream, or any other trimmings your heart — or stomach — desires, the most indulgent hot cocoa serves more than just chocolatey goodness. With each sip, you fill your belly with the spirit of the holiday season. 

The cedarwood fire pit also symbolizes something more: the shared values that bring your loved ones together, regardless of the time of year. From this warmth, you draw the strength to accomplish your goals throughout the year, overcoming challenges and pushing through slumps despite the effort it requires. Cedarwood grounds you in reality and the values that shape your world, no matter where life leads you.
