What's the one smell that hits your nose, and you IMMEDIATELY know it's the holidays? According to a new survey, here are the ten holiday smells we love the most:

1. Hot chocolate.

2. Freshly baked cookies. (I actually do not prefer this smell)

3. The smell of a fire.

4. Peppermint.

5. Apple cider.

6. Pine. (In other words, the smell of having a Christmas tree in your house. Which is kind of surprising that it came in sixth. That's one of my favs)

7. Potato latkes. (That's a Big Birdsall shout out to all our friends putting on their yamaka and celebrating Hanukkah.)

8. Pie. (Could we be less specific?)

9. Candles.

10. Gingerbread.

 

 I wanted to toss out an honorable mention to those cinnamon scented pine cones you buy in a onion bag!!
