I can't overstate how much I adore Christmas candles. It's my very favorite time of year, and the flickering of a flame, paired with a beautiful scent, perfectly sets the tone and mood for slowing down and drinking in the sparkle of the season.
From cozy fireside notes to fresh, crisp pine, one Christmas candle simply isn't enough to burn from November through to January. Instead, I like to overdo it − I have different candles for morning, afternoon, and night, each of which has earned a coveted spot in my festive rotation.
Ahead, my very best candles for enjoying throughout the holidays or gifting this Christmas, with affordable, mid-range, and luxury options to suit all budgets.
