Guided by its Consumer First Formula, Bath & Body Works listened to what consumers love about the season and built Season of Wonder around those insights, creating a single holiday experience from screen to store. Wonder serves as the unifying theme for immersive in-store moments, memorable gifting solutions and fragrances rooted in holiday traditions and memories.

"The holidays are a magical time, bringing people together through cherished traditions and moments of joy," said Veronique Gabai-Pinsky, chief brand and product officer at Bath & Body Works. "With Season of Wonder, we're celebrating everything that makes this time of year special through fragrances that evoke memories, thoughtful gifts that create connections and new experiences that inspire discovery. Our hope is to bring that holiday feeling to life in meaningful ways for every consumer through our Season of Wonder campaign and products."

Deschanel is synonymous with holiday cheer, and her cross-generational appeal will amplify the campaign on Instagram and TikTok, where she will introduce Season of Wonder to her millions of followers. As Holiday Wonder Maker, she stars in campaign film and photography featuring pastel backdrops, holiday accessories and iridescent lighting accents. She also brings her own perspective to gifting through a personally curated selection of fragrances and accessories from the collection, including the Snowflakes & Cashmere 3-wick candle, Vanilla Cocoa Flurries fine fragrance mist, Pure Wonder foaming hand soap and more.  

"For me, holiday wonder is in the little things you look forward to every year: the scents, the lights and the feeling of finding a gift that is exactly right for someone," said Deschanel. "The holidays have always been so special to me, and Bath & Body Works is a brand many people associate with the season. I love the quality and care that go into the products, and Season of Wonder is about celebrating all those little things that make the holidays feel special."

The Season of Wonder campaign reinforces Bath & Body Works as the trusted destination for holiday fragrances and gifting, pairing the fragrances consumers love with the joy of discovering them in new forms. Iridescent packaging, seasonal décor and accessories carry the idea of wonder into products consumers can wear, share and bring home.
