The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel’s Holiday Aroma Blend Massage is pretty much the essence of the holidays—festive scents, warm-fuzzy feelings, stress-free relaxation—minus the seasonal chaos. Lying facedown on the massage table, you deeply inhale a powerful cinnamon scent (hello, Christmas!). Then the therapist uses cinnamon massage oil, which increases blood flow and amps up your energy level, to knead your muscles from head to toe in long, gentle strokes, applying acupressure in areas where you hold tension (upper back, shoulders and neck if you’re anything like us). Before and after, enjoy the steam room and sauna to take your spa buzz up a notch. Consider it the ultimate just-for-you luxury after battling Michigan Ave tourists and shoppers as you scramble for presents. 120 E Delaware Pl (312-280-8800, fourseasons.com/chicagofs). $145 for 55 minutes.
