DOVE KICKS OFF THE SEASON OF JOY AS HOLIDAY TREATS RETURNS FOR A THIRD YEAR

Featuring five new scents and returning favorites that bring the nostalgia and excitement of the holiday season to everyday personal care routines

HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beauty brand Dove is officially kicking off the holiday season. Returning for its third year, the limited-edition Dove Holiday Treats Collection features five new seasonal scents and returning favorites inspired by the nostalgic, joyful scents of fall and the holidays.

As the leader in the seasonal fall and winter holiday personal care market, Dove is introducing new scents Pear Delight, Winter Berry, Snickerdoodle, Salted Caramel and Vanilla Frosting, alongside returning favorites Pecan Crunch, Cinnamon Pumpkin, Sugar Cookie and Frosted Plum. The Dove Holiday Treats Collection combines holiday inspired fragrances with the superior care and nourishment you know and love from Dove across Body Wash, Body Scrub, Antiperspirant Deodorant, Liquid Hand Wash, Beauty Bars and Body Mists.

More than a seasonal collection, Dove Holiday Treats playfully engages a growing "False Fall" phenomenon, where one crisp 60-degree day is all it takes for people to embrace the comfort, nostalgia and joy of the season.

"The holiday season is defined by the scents and rituals people wait to celebrate all year long," said Kathryn Fernandez, Head of Dove Masterbrand and Skin Cleansing, US. "As everyone begins swapping in cozier, warmer scents at the first signs of fall, they're looking for small ways to bring comfort, nostalgia and joy into their everyday routines. Dove Holiday Treats brings the spirit of the season to life through indulgent, holiday scents and the superior care and nourishment Dove is known for."
