Winter candles & candle holders

Our Christmas candles make winter just a little bit warmer

Sadly, we can’t promise a white Christmas, but it usually turns chilly. Our Christmas candles and tealights bring a soft, cosy glow that makes your home feel warmer and more welcoming. Pop them in a lantern, candlestick or tealight holder and you’ve instantly set the scene. Have a browse and find your favourites.

Key features of our Christmas candles and candle holders (depending on the model):

• Candlelight that instantly adds atmosphere
• Plenty of choice: pillar and taper candles, tealights, scented candles and candles in jars
• Matching holders for your Advent wreath, windowsill or table
• Festive colours and designs, from classic to modern
• Stable holders to help keep candles steadier and safer
• Scented candles in festive notes like apple, vanilla and cinnamon

Whichever natural light sources you choose for the festive season, we've got the right holders for them, from tealight glasses to lanterns and candlesticks.

What makes a Christmas candle special?

Our Christmas candles help the darker months feel cosier and more festive. Light one for a quiet night in, a catch-up with friends or an Advent Sunday at home. Add a few wintery scents and you’ve got an easy way to make the season feel that bit brighter.

Which candle holders work best for Advent?

Want to make Advent particularly festive and light a candle on each of the four Sundays? We've got the right Advent candle holders for that. Whether you'd like an Advent wreath, want to buy an Advent candlestick for four candles, or create your Christmas candles individually with separate Advent candle holders, we've got everything you need. You'll also find the right tealights, pillar or taper candles here, plus matches to light them and more Christmas decorations to complete your Advent display.

Which scented candles are particularly good for the Christmas season?

Alongside unscented candles for Advent or Christmas and versatile tealights, you'll also find scented candles for Christmas here. Just imagine: comforting scents of apple, biscuits and cinnamon in the air, warm light all around you, and a delicious punch or mulled wine in your hand while the snow falls outside. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Which candle colours and shapes are popular at Christmas?

Alongside classic red, white, gold and green are all popular at Christmas. They bring colour and sparkle to the darker season. Simple or spiral taper candles, pillar candles and tealights combine flexibly and suit both classic and contemporary Christmas decorations.

How can I combine Christmas candle holders and candles decoratively?

Mix different heights and finishes – glass with metal, or ceramic with stoneware – for an easy, layered look. Group a few holders together on the table, shelf or windowsill, or dot them around the room for a softer glow. By mixing different heights, colours and designs, you can create a varied and atmospheric display. Once you've found your perfect combination of Christmas candles and holders, dotting them around your home creates little pockets of festive light wherever you place them.

What creative decorations are possible with Christmas candles?

Whether it's a homemade Advent wreath, an individually designed tealight glass or a festive candlestick for four candles, you can create your own magical glow with just a few simple touches.
