You know the holiday season is upon us when your fa-vorite coffee shop finally adds pumpkin lattes to their menu. Spas are taking a page out of the coffee chains' seasonal playbook by offering specific holiday treat-ments on their menus for a limited time, starting with pumpkin facials for Thanksgiving and onto peppermint pedicures for Christmas, and the often-overlooked, but oh so needed, holiday hangover cures for the New Year. "Guests love seasonal treatments," says Norman Sarmiento, spa director at The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "It brings back the best of mem-ories they've had during past holidays. It's really the smells of the seasonal products that inspire guests to book the services. We always hear guests say, 'It's just that time of the year.'"
Here are five great treatments to get your clients in the holiday spirit this season...
Go beyond the peppermint facial with these new holiday spa treatments

Thanksgiving
Nothing says the start of the holiday season like the scent of pumpkin pie. That's why spa treatments featuring ev-eryone's favorite Thanksgiving dish are the perfect way to help your clients kick off the holiday season in a festive way.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Fort Lauderdale lets their guests handpick a pumpkin from the property's private pumpkin patch to be used in their sea-sonal favorite Spumpkin (that's spa + pumpkin) Package (140-minutes, $198), which includes a body treatment and nail service.
"The spa therapist cuts, prepares, and incorporates the freshly picked pumpkin into a custom scrub and ap-plies the full-body pumpkin exfoliation to rejuvenate skin and shed dead skin cells. This is followed by a hydrating body wrap to lock in moisture and a 25-minute, targeted pumpkin mas-sage," says Sarmiento.
The last part of this package (if the guest chooses) is an 80-minute Cranberry Manicure and Pedicure with a complimentary hair, scalp, and blow-dry treatment.
The Spa at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida offers
the Pumpkin Butter Stimulating Facial (50-minutes, $145) only in October, November, and December. "Because our seasons don't change much, guests respond well to anything that helps get them in the holiday spirit," says spa director Melissa Deese.
The facial kicks off with a milk-in-fused steam towel to open pores be-fore a fine micro sugar exfoliates dead skin cells, followed by a natural buffing powder rich in burdock root and rice powder to calm itchy skin. An applica-tion of mango butter and whole milk nourishes and moisturizes the skin.
As for the pumpkin part, Deese ex-plains, "The fresh enzyme-full organ-ic pumpkin puree and active yogurt cultures mask instantly boosts over-all radiance by deep cleansing pores, temporarily shrinking their look, and improving the look of broken capillaries and uneven skin tones. The pumpkin puree is high in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and beta carotene, and is an excellent free radical fighter."
Christmas
Bring your clients back to their child-hood Christmas mornings when they awoke to find stockings stuffed with
peppermint candy canes, chocolates, and sugarplums by offering Christmas candy themed spa services.
The Sparkle & Frost Manicure and Peppermint Pedicure package (90-minutes, $135) at The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Naples, Florida does just that. "It begins with an Epsom salt foot soak that's lightly infused with pep-permint leaves. Peppermint is cooling and relaxing to the skin – making it an ideal treatment for feet tired and achy from a day of holiday shopping. The scent is also uplifting and invig-orating," says spa director Michelle Kelthy.
A sugar scrub, combined with sweet almond oil, is then massaged into the feet to eliminate dry skin and promote relaxation. The pedicure con-cludes with a festive holiday shade. The manicure begins with a sooth-ing and invigorating hand massage followed by a deep penetrating col-lagen hand mask that includes hyal-uronic acid to plump, brighten and moisten the skin, and finishes with a holiday polish.
Chocolate is the Christmas candy of choice at The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Rancho Mirage, California. The spa's Chocolate Truffle Treat (100-minutes,

$335) features a 50-minute Chocolate Truffle Body Wrap, a 50-minute Chocolate Truffle Facial, and comes with a skin care gift in the spirit of the holiday giving.
"This journey starts with an all-natural vitamin-rich cranberry and pomegranate sugar scrub to exfoliate and smooth dull skin, increase micro-circulation, and restore nutrition to the epidermis. The Chocolate Truffle Body Wrap moisturizes and enriches the skin, reduces wrinkle depth, and deeply hydrates and plumps the skin. An application of naseberry body lotion firms, tones, and hydrates," says spa director Shelly-Anne Myrie-Lindo.
The Chocolate Truffle Facial features a chocolate mousse hydration masque featuring an alluring aroma and silky feel of chocolate on the skin. "Dark chocolate contains a wide range of potent antioxidants, such as fla-vonoid, which help protect the skin from free radical dam-age. Dark chocolate also helps shield skin from the sun's UV rays, helps keep skin from drying out, protects against aging, and increases skin elasticity," explains Myrie-Lindo.
A relaxing facial massage with naseberry treatment cream follows the chocolate mousse hydration mask. This

New Year
After all of the holiday parties and over-indulgences of the season, it's time for some serious detox. The Holiday Hangover Facial (50-minutes, $210) at Dtox Day Spa in Los Feliz, California is an oxygen-infused treatment with pep-permint aromatherapy and a cooling collagen eye treatment to help with eye puffiness.
"This is a must-have for the season. Pre-holiday party, it helps guests arrive with a vibrant healthy glow. Post-party, this facial helps to detoxify the skin while repairing some of that severe dehydration you see at this time of the year. After a long night, the skin could experience breakouts, dark circles, or simply a sallow overall appearance, and our job is to make you look refreshed and feel recharged," says lead esthetician Jannette Martinez.
The Holiday Hangover Facial begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin, followed by a gentle exfoliation to rid any surface debris and flaky skin. A cooling eye mask is applied over the eyes specifically targeting fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, and stressed skin. "Hyaluronic acid, chamomile, comfrey, and cucumber are only a few of the key ingredients which are sure to soothe those tired eyes, says Martinez.
It also serves as an anti-stress treatment. "November and December are two of the most stressful months of the year due to the holidays, so we wanted to offer a treatment that not only helps to care for our stressed guests, but also gets them ready for holiday parties. The peppermint helps with that. Not only is it a festive scent, it is also a very popular essential oil for treating headaches and helping with sore muscles and hangovers," she notes.
The oxygen infusion part of the facial further helps to heal and soothe the skin. "Hyperbaric oxygen technology is used to deliver an antioxidant rich serum to the skin, featuring the key ingredients of hyaluronic acid, kakadu plum extract, and green tea. This serum is specially targeted under the eyes since it has wonderful benefits for helping to reduce dark circles and puffiness," adds Martinez.
