Relive the cosiness of winter evenings with these gorgeous candles.

Christmas candles not only bring seasonal cheer into the home but they also fill the air with beautiful scents, ideal for a warm and cosy winter setting. Whether you prefer cinnamon, pine, or beautiful berry scents, these Christmas candles will help to create the perfect atmosphere.

The festive season often presents a range of luxurious candles (we've got our eye on Jo Malone's festive offering) but you'll also be pleased to know that we have included plenty of affordable Christmas candles too, including this light-up candle from M&S that costs just £10.
