Decision Making Factors To Consider When Buying A Christmas Candle
There are several different key factors to consider when buying a Christmas candle to ensure you choose the best one to match your needs and wants.
Scent
Choose a scent that matches the Christmas mood you are wanting to create whether this be a Christmas baking type scent such as gingerbread or vanilla, a fresh fruity scent or a scent reminiscent of pines and roasting chestnuts for example.
Aesthetics
Choose a candle with a vessel that matches and complements your Christmas decor whether this be a stunning Christmas red, gold, white or some other colour of your choosing.
Consider whether you are wanting Christmas candle bon bons to give as gifts or as Christmas table favours, Christmas candle baubles for your Christmas tree or Christmas scented candles for your Christmas table.
Burn Time
Consider the burn time of the candle you are considering buying. The larger the candle the longer the burn time usually. If you are wanting to burn your candles throughout your Christmas party make sure you buy a big enough candle and not one that will only burn for a time less than the duration of your party.
Price
With scented candles price does matter. Cheaper candles usually do not fragrance a room as well as better quality ones.
Where To Buy Christmas Candles
This year I am doing all my Christmas gift and decor research online and then I’m buying online too. Online shopping is so much quicker and more convenient than buying in store. It eliminates the need to drive to various different physical stores, search for a car park, and then risk the product you are wanting being sold out in that store.
I have included links to online stores for each of the festive candles featured in this guide.
I hope this Christmas Candle buying guide helps make your Christmas planning, Christmas preparations and Christmas gift shopping easier this year.

Finally don’t forget to treat yourself as well. We all deserve some little daily indulgences in the lead up to Christmas this year. Christmas isn’t just about treating the kids and buying gifts for everyone else. You deserve treats too!
