Nothing invokes a sense of coziness for the holidays like the glow and scent of a candle. The best Christmas candles bring a warm dose of holiday cheer to your home, whether you go for food scents like peppermint or cookies, or choose pine and balsam to make your house smell like a tree farm.
While baking some holiday goodies certainly adds some holiday scents to your kitchen, the fragrance from candles is longer-lasting and can be put in any room of the home to make sure your favorite holiday scents are wherever you spend most of your time. If you have an artificial Christmas tree, they can also serve as a replacement for the scent that fills your home when you have a fresh tree.
Of course, the best Christmas candle also makes not only an easy gift, but one that works for just about anyone, whether you know them well or not. Consider picking up multiple candles so you can include one along with other gifts for a loved one or close friend, or as a gift for a teacher or other person in your life you may not know as much about.
