The Christmas candles that spark joy for 2020

By Sarah Joan Ross on 25/11/2020

Not feeling festive? Spark some joy with Christmas candles and seasonal scents to transform your home

THE BEST CHRISTMAS CANDLES & FESTIVE SCENTS, 2020
THE BEST CHRISTMAS CANDLES & FESTIVE SCENTS, 2020
Christmas came early this year. So, if you're not yet feeling the festive mood, try filling your home with the inspiring smells of the season to kick-start your Yuletide cheer, whatever is happening around you.


Whether it's interpretations of the pine and herbal aromas of a real tree to scrumptious spicy notes of cinnamon, ginger and orange or the warming, smoky, fireside-ready formulas that are as comforting as a cashmere blanket, there's a scent that will transform your home into a winter wonderland.


Here are the best Christmas candles and home scents that will help you to spark some festive joy this season.




Diptyque Christmas carousel and scented candle set, £90

This doubles up as a beautiful room fragrance filler and delightful Christmas ornament; as the carousel spins, it refracts a mesmerising light and can be showcased year after year.

Roja Dove Essence of Christmas Candle, £95

If anyone can capture Christmas in a candle, it's master perfumer Roja Dove. Think nostalgic log fires, pine trees and gingerbread to bring out that inner child.

Jo Loves Christmas Trees Home Candles, £55


If you're not opting for a real tree this year but an eco-friendly artificial bush, don't miss out on that uniquely luscious smell the pine gives out by burning this fill-the-room clove, fir, and pine-scented candle.

The White Company Winter Fragrance Range, from £8



If there is one brand that epitomises Christmas, it's The White Company. Together with those dazzling centrepieces, chargers and wreaths that transform your home into a stylish festive hide-out, we will also be making the yearly pilgrimage for their Winter Candle. It's an absolute Christmas candle classic and has been a best-seller since its launch in 1999, and not only includes candles but room diffuser, spray and oil.

Space NK Shimmering Spice Candle, from £16


This will instantly set the festive scene with the wonderful aromas of cinnamon and spice, plus you can re-use the gold vessel all year round – so it makes for a good forever buy.

Neom Christmas Wish Candle, £46
This contains natural notes of tonka bean, cinnamon and mandarin essential oils, so press play on Michael Bublé and fill your room with a sense of Christmas bliss.

Skandinavisk SNÖ Winter Light and TRÆ Scented Candles, £35 each

Let it snow with this sustainably sourced eco-wax candle that fills the room instantly with the scent of wintry timber and berries, or the pine edition of TRÆ that has the whiff of a Scandi fir forest; both are conscious Christmas candle buys.

Floral Street Fireplace Candle, £28


Although not labelled a Christmas scent as such, the sophisticated combo of smoky aromas and leather will be a sure-fire hit all winter long, with elements of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Hôtel Costes in Paris and Bonfire Night bliss.

D.S. & Durga Portable Xmas Tree Candle, £60


A Brooklyn-based company that creates authentic smells and this is one of the best Christmas tree-scented candles around – it will really ‘spruce’ up your holiday season and home.
