When it comes to the holidays, the best scents are the ones that bring you right back to the kitchen, baking up buttery, sprinkle-covered treats for family and friends.

Dana Loia, founder of Dana's Bakery, knows that spicy, sugary scents are comforting this time of year. "Flavors like peppermint and gingerbread always make me think of the holidays. Baking gingerbread men and chocolate peppermint macarons is a family tradition," she says.

Still, you don't want to over indulge -- come January resolution time, you'll regret it. And that's where these holiday-scented beauty products come in. They're decadent and delicious -- but calorie-free. And who wouldn't want to slap on a cranberry face mask or slather on some vanilla hand cream? (After having a chocolate peppermint macaron … or two, of course.)

LUSH Holly Golightly Bubble Bar, $10.95.

This glittery, holly-adorned bath bar combines the spicy scent of clove with relaxing patchouli oil for a festive bath time treat. Drop a third of the bar into the tub, and watch as the water turns into a deep Christmassy green that leaves skin silky smooth.
*Best enjoyed with Christmas music and a glass of eggnog.

Vaseline Bejeweled Crème Brûlée Lip Therapy, $45.

What's better than a mini lip balm? A mini lip balm covered in sparkling gold and blue crystals, of course. This lip jelly is a dead ringer for the vanilla custard dessert (minus the crispy sugar topping), and the bedazzled version is available for a limited time only at Kitson.

Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, $58.

This mask smells (and even looks) exactly like pumpkin pie filling, but don't be fooled. The pumpkin and alpha hydroxy acid exfoliate and gently peel away dead skin cells while the aluminum oxide polishes the skin for a refreshed glow. It's ideal for the hectic holiday season.

Soap & Glory Rich & Foamous Dual-Use Shower & Bath Body Wash, $16.

One pump of this body wash -- it's full of skin softening ingredients like oat extract, almond and honey milk -- works into a rich, sweet smelling lather that doubles as bubble bath.
