Christmastime is all about making core memories in the comfort of your home.
Scent is so intertwined with memory — so why not burn a festive candle throughout the holidays to make them even more unforgettable for you and your loved ones?
When it comes to Christmas-themed options, the scent profiles vary, but many feature notes that bring on the nostalgic feels.
Many prefer lighting candles that smell of pine trees and woods, which add a crisp essence to your home (and can stand in for the real thing if you have a faux tree). Bath & Body Works’ Under The Christmas Tree 3-Wick Candle is the perfect example.
On the other hand, some fill their spaces with decadent, gourmand aromas reminiscent of sugary goodies — be it crowd-pleasing cookies, marshmallow-covered hot chocolate, or warm gingerbread houses. If the latter treat is your fave, the Snif Half Baked Gingerbread Smash Scented Candle is the ideal pick for you.
Otherwise, go-to wintery fragrance notes include cozy amber, refreshingly cool peppermint, spiced clove, warm leather, and iced juniper berries.
Here, shop through 15 unique candles for Christmas 2024 that’ll enhance your holiday.
