It might feel like it’s 103 degrees here in Texas, but y’all… my heart? It’s somewhere between a pumpkin patch and a snowy small-town Christmas parade with a suspiciously handsome single dad and a hot cocoa stand. You know what that means—Hallmark’s Christmas in July is back, and this girl is already in full-blown ‘ber month mode!
I’m an October Baby, What Did You Expect?
Fall is my favorite season—hands down. The crisp air, the colors, the pumpkins, the cozy nights with a candle flickerin’ or a wax melt warming… yes ma’am, sign me up. And Christmas? Well, that’s just the cherry on top. It’s not just a holiday—it’s a whole vibe, a memory-making season that makes my heart burst like the buttons on Santa’s coat.
My Cozy Season Kickoff Ritual
Every year, Hallmark’s Christmas in July kicks off a little something in me. I pull out my blankie, flip on a cheesy Christmas movie, and let myself feel those cozy, nostalgic, cinnamon-scented feelings. And while I’m watchin’ snowflakes fall on screen, I’m also already tinkerin’ with ideas for my 2025 Fall & Holiday Wax Melt Collection for Mama Crow’s.
Planning for Magic
Yep, I’m already sniffin’, blending, and daydreamin’ about which scents are gonna make the cut next year. Will Pumpkin Apple Cider return for a third season? Will Reindeer Poo get a new pepperminty twist? Should I bring in something brand new like Maple Bourbon Latte or Cozy Flannel Blanket?
Now’s when the magic starts—when scent memories from years past meet new inspiration. The ideas come while I’m watching a Christmas tree lighting in July or listening to sleigh bells while my AC is blasting.
Want to Help?
Y’all know I always love hearing your thoughts! What scents scream fall to you? What’s your go-to Christmas vibe—baked goods, snowy pine, candy cane wonderland, or something else entirely? Drop me a comment or message—I’m building the list now and would love your input!
