Holiday Soap Recipes & Essential Oil Blends

Holiday soaps are fun to make but not always easy to sell — once the season ends, leftover bars can linger. In this course, I share practical ways to create holiday soap recipes and winter soap designs that are festive, versatile, and easy to market without piling up extra inventory.

You’ll learn how to blend natural essential oils for holiday soaps (think chocolate oranges, resins, and peppermints), plus step-by-step tutorials for seasonal designs. I’ll also show you how to package your soaps into gift sets — one of the most effective ways to boost holiday sales with the products you already make.

This is a companion course to a few of my other tutorials. That means you’ll get complete recipes, essential oil blends, and holiday-specific techniques here, but if you want to make every design shown (like the Three Kings Beldi soap), you’ll also need the related full tutorials. This way you can pick and choose how deep you want to go without buying more than you need.

Here’s what’s inside:

• Holiday Soap Strategies & Resources

  • Why I don’t make many holiday-only soaps — and how to avoid leftover products by bundling.

  • The one holiday soap I always make: Christmas Coal (recipe found in the Hot Process Rebatching tutorial).

  • How to bundle soaps into holiday gift sets with simple packaging tips.

  • A list of holiday soaps I’ve made in the past that you can adapt.
