An overlooked fact: Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a festive candle to get you into the spirit of the season. From warming cinnamon scents to fresh pine and fir, the best of the bunch conjure up Yuletide atmosphere with a single sniff.

Although the holiday season is a few weeks away, there’s no time like the present to start filling your home with the festive aroma of Christmas Day. Whether it’s the mandarin and cinnamon blend of the Neom Organics’s Christmas Wish candle, or Jo Malone London’s sweet cherry and spiced clove scented home candle, infusing your home with delicious scent will lift the collective mood immeasurably. And, if you aren’t able to spend the holiday with your family this season, a festive scented candle will also prove a thoughtful treasure to send as a gift.
