Bath & Body Works | Christmas in July Collection – A Whimsical Summer Surprise 🎄☀️
Whether you feel like you need 🎶 “A Little Christmas” 🎶 right this very minute or not, Bath & Body Works’ very first Christmas in July Collection is getting ready to surf its way into this summer’s Semi-Annual Sale—and I, for one, am ready to receive it!
While I totally understand the hesitation from summer lovers who prefer their holiday cheer strictly in December, retail has never played by seasonal rules. And honestly, adding a splash of festive whimsy to what can sometimes be a slow start to the sale? That might just be the kind of magic needed to stir excitement—and maybe even inspire a few red bin dives for beach-ready reindeer.
As a long-time fan of all things holiday year-round, I’m more than happy to welcome surfing elves, sunglass-wearing snowmen, and candy-striped coconuts into my summer lineup. Traditional bows and plaid are cute, but these character-driven, sun-soaked labels? They’re a whole vibe.
It’s unclear if any PocketBac holders or refills will join the lineup, and if they don’t appear, I’ll definitely miss them. Here’s hoping some hidden gems still surface before the launch!
So, with only a few more weeks to go, I’ll be counting down the days until I can finally answer one of my favorite age-old questions:
“What do Santa, the elves, and the reindeer do on vacation?”
