Ask me about shaving naked!
If you can find it (it’s been discontinued), I Coloniali Rhubarb. Same scent as the Mango Oil soap, incense, frakincense, touch of vanilla...
Floris 89 and/or Floris Elite
AdP Colonia v3 is good any time.

Not a cream, a soap, but I find Stirling Christmas Eve to be the best festive scent. And a great soap base, for a reasonable price per oz.
Available in the UK via shavingtime.co.uk.
It’s a seasonal release, so they’ll probably receive it from Stirling in the US later on this month.
Vespers by Barrister and Mann is another good one, also great soap base. More expensive.
Available in UK via slickboys.co.uk when B&M will release it, again I expect towards end of November or beginning of December.
Or you could purchase either/ both from maggardrazors.com in US.
It will probably end up costing you the same, or even cheaper, even including shipping to UK, but you’ll obviously have to wait 2-3 weeks for the package to arrive.

I've enjoyed peppermint creams for a holiday spin.
Art of Shaving here in US, but TOBS has their own.
Worth a try!

my favorite Christmas soap/cream is Cella. To me, the scent is pure Christmas. I think cookies in the oven every time I open the cap. Plus it works so well.
My favorite is Krampus by Dr. Jon.
Made with honey, myrrh, cider, berries, anise, and fear.
Dunno if you can get it in the UK, but if you can find it on Maggards (if it's not sold out) you should be able to get it shipped.

Great choice.
I think it’s an amazing classic Christmas scent, it brought back lovely memories from my childhood when I first smelled it.
I hope you enjoy it.
I'm too late as you already chose a great soap. For next Christmas, or for anybody interested in the same matter.
Not a cream, rather a soft soap, almost a croap.
Two tubs at around $16 for a total of 6.8 oz of Italian goodness (tallow+coconut oil base).

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements comes out with several every year. My favorite is Space Nog...Atomic Age Bay Rum mixed with the scent of eggnog. Absolutely brilliant!
Saponificio Bignoli Aghi di pino. Available from Connaughts and English Shaving Company. It smells like a Christmas tree.
Candy: sweet fragrance of grandma's cake with custard and cotton candy.
Gengy: spicy fragrance of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger.
Space Nog is now available! I just ordered the CK-6 Formula shaving soap.

So my Christmas Eve has arrived. In the pot, it’s quite a strong mix. However, I made a test lather after my shave today and it smells lovely. Just like Christmas.
It’s a bit tougher to lather compared to my Castle Forbes. No fault of Stirling, just a harder soap than I’m used to.
Think I’ll use a slightly damper brush in order to get more product onto it. Perhaps I’ll add a few drops of water to it before jumping in the shower to soften it slightly.
Looking forward to December so I can start using it! As it’s not Christmas yet!
