Any home is made beautiful with the addition of candles to bring the cosy nights, so with Christmas fast approaching, we sneak a look at Christmas candle holders.

For many of us, candles are lit all year round, whether in the garden during BBQ season or to add extra comfort and warmth during the winter months.

Cosy-lit fires, candles burning, and the tree lit up in all its glory bring the magic of Christmas to life for families all over the world.

During the festive season, many candles, from tea lights to large pillar candles, are on sale. They come in a variety of shapes, colours, and sizes to suit everyone.

I’ve noticed one thing when shopping for candles: Some of them don’t always come with a holder.

We know that candles such as Yankee are already contained in their glass jars, and some of the smaller candles may come in suitable jars that can be reused.

What about those needing to sit in a holder before lit?

As previously discussed in my article on flameless candles, candle pots, pillar, floating, and jar candles also come with their container.

Choosing ones not already moulded inside their container means we must shop for suitable jars and trays to light the candle safely.

At Christmas, we usually see the table decorations set out with table runners and centrepiece candles to bring the festivities into the home. There are some lovely ideas online to choose from.

Companies have become very creative, and some unusual styles are available.

If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration on decorating your home for the festive season with candles, look at Christmas candle ideas.

Tea lights are hugely popular and are possibly the most affordable.

They come as batter-operated (flameless) or lit candles, and you can have single holders or a larger centre piece where the holder will sit several tea lights at one time. They also come in several different colours and scents to suit your choice. Their particular styles bring warmth and a magical feeling into the home during the festive period.

This set includes eight tea lights, candle holders, a table centrepiece, and a decorative glass perfect for a Christmas wedding.

Taper candle holder

If you want a unique candle holder, this style brings a more retro and Gothic-like feel. Depending on your home decor, it can give a lot of character to the room. It uses the candlestick design, which comes in a variety of colours.

Some will be decorated with a Christmas theme, and some will have the days of December engraved on them so that you burn a section each day as Christmas nears. These are called advent candles and are non-drip, tapered candles with a burn time of 12 hours.

Stainless steel lantern candle holder

These are some of my favourites because of the elegance they bring into the home. They are best suited for pillar candles.

They come in various sizes depending on where you want them in the home and give off a good amount of light due to their size.

The large ones are suitable for sitting in floor space, perhaps by fire, for that extra cosiness.

This style is also suitable for use outside on the patio during the summer or winter for extra light on a cold evening.

They come with a carry handle, which allows you to hang them from a hook off the garden fence and makes it easier to transport them from one area to another.
