Terrain is determined to ensure the best-dressed presence at your holiday party isn’t a guest at all – it’s the candles. Hard to argue with that when you’re staring down gilded botanical wreaths that sit at taper bases like jewelry, or mirrored, gold-accented pins that read more like shrunken heirlooms. Essentially, the retailer has debuted a wardrobe of winter wax accessories that could give your most ornamented aunt’s brooch collection a run for its money.
Like assembling a good Christmas party look, there’s plenty of room to play with this Christmas decor idea. These accessories elevate the everyday (or the already ornate) taper candles and holders you own. Simply slip on a wreath, stack a cuff, and suddenly you have a tablescape or mantel that reads more like a moment.

And if your taper-and-candlestick situation is looking thin – or you’re simply aiming to overachieve this season – Terrain’s core candle lineup is just as compelling as the add-ons. There are celestial three-dimensional glass-and-brass bases, holders that could plausibly double as jewelry trays or small vessels for sprigs of greenery, and tapers that mimic the sculptural lines of a Christmas tree. With 30% off all holiday decor in cart right now, it feels like the right time to stock up on all of the above.
Which leads to the real question: what are your candles wearing this season? Beads? Brass? Glitter? Angel wings? Flex on your friends and give your wax the whimsical superlative it never knew it needed – what we’re betting will be the Jane Birkin–coded Christmas trend to watch.

Mirror, mirror… on the candle? One wick might be enough most days, but the holidays are an entirely different sport. Consider this trio of antique-style mirrors your sanctioned excuse to be extra: press them into a taper or pillar and suddenly your candle has a twin flame, bouncing light in every direction.
Terrain is giving tapers wings this season. The best holiday gatherings feel like they’ve been brushed by something angelic, and these accessories make the point explicit. Place them high and proud on a credenza or mantel so their metallic surfaces can catch and throw light across the room.
You’re probably set on full-size Christmas wreaths by now, but what about the minis? Terrain has decided every candle deserves its own halo, offering tiny beaded rings of winter sprigs and bright red berries that easily dress up a plain taper.
Think of these hand-crafted celestial cuffs, crafted from a light-catching mix of antiqued brass and mirrored panels, as collars for your candles. Since they sit at the base, while the aforementioned mirrored pins perch at the top, why not double up and create a tiny, candle-sized ‘hall of mirrors’ moment along your table?
What might you tuck inside the base of this candlestick? The classic brass silhouette sets the stage for rustic, natural accents – preserved moss, fresh stems, tiny botanicals – but anyone embracing this magpie-adjacent candle-accessorizing moment might prefer to display their own jeweled treasures atop a dresser or vanity.
... And then there are the tapers that look like Christmas trees – just another stroke of genius from Terrain. They come in small or large, in a spectrum of festive hues (including a gold that pairs perfectly with the other metallics in this lineup), and add a sculptural, slightly whimsical note to any tabletop.
Luxury candle brands and fashion houses have been debuting candle configurations that, in true avant-garde fashion, are designed to serve as their own base entirely – no candlesticks required. Terrain has followed suit. Style it solo, or add a few pins across the surface for a little glitz.
Representing what is easily the best steal in Terrain’s holiday lineup – candle accessories or otherwise – are these foliage candle pins. They’re elegantly simple gilded sprigs meant to scatter across the surface of a taper, or to use one at a time to create a metallic throughline across an entire candlescape.
It’s a starry night, all right, with these celestial glass-and-brass candle holders, which read more like small sculptures. They’re substantial enough to anchor one side of a Christmas mantel mirror or a piece of art leaned casually against the wall, but the built-in symmetry of the design definitely calls for a pair.
One accessory? Child’s play. These days, we’re smothering our purses in charms and calling it the baseline – a maximalist move that’s migrated to candles, as above, and now to the mantel via another Terrain favorite: the stocking charm (another trend that, conveniently, is on sale for Black Friday).
