Christmas Candle Holders
Any home is made beautiful with candles that bring cosy nights, so with Christmas fast approaching, we sneak a look at Christmas candle holders. For many of us, candles are lit year-round, whether in the garden during BBQ season or to add extra comfort and warmth in 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.

This article is part of a fragrance blog I built myself — I’ll explain how at the end if you’re curious.
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 packaged in glass jars, and some smaller candles may come in suitable jars that can be reused. What about those needing to sit in a holder before lit?
Christmas Candle Holders
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.

Tea lights are hugely popular and are possibly the most affordable. They come as battery-operated (flameless) or lit candles, and you can have single holders or a larger centrepiece that holds 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.

Taper Candle Holder
If you want a unique candle holder, this style brings a more retro, Gothic 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 others will have the days of December engraved on them, so you burn a section each day as Christmas nears. These are called Advent candles and are non-drip, tapered candles with a 12-hour burn time.






Decorate your home or party in style with these retro iron taper candle holders. Perfect for weddings or any special occasion, these candlestick holders add a touch of vintage charm to your decor. Sold in a set of two, they are a great addition to any candle collection.
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. The large ones are suitable for sitting on the floor, perhaps by a fire, for that extra cosiness. This style is also suitable for use outdoors on the patio in summer or winter for extra light on a cold evening. They come with a carry handle, which lets you hang them from a hook on the garden fence and makes them easier to transport from one area to another.

Wow. There is so much choice and variety with candles that I wasn’t aware of.
I personally really like the rustic log candle holder. These appeal to me, as well as the Antler pillars candle holders, simply for the more natural look they provide.
I would be interested in learning more about how these are made, and perhaps even classes or workshops that teach you how to make your own candle holders. Particularly those that are environmentally friendly.
Do you know of any workshops or online training that you would recommend for making candle holders?
This would be a great idea I believe to be able to make your own as a gift for Christmas (like making any gift really) and candle holders seem like such a practical yet personal gift to help brighten up someone’s home.
Thank you for your post

Hi Dale,
There certainly is a huge variety nowadays and they are all suitable for any home. I like the rustic log too. It’s something different that guests would comment on as soon as they saw it too.
I don’t know of any workshops personally, but I’m sure there will be something online. I know there are pages that teach how to make candles and the internet is full of so much useful stuff.
I agree, I think more and more people will be looking to make their own gifts for Christmas and candles holders will be suitable for anyone.
Thanks for your feedback.

I love candles and candle holders. Your post comes just in time for the Holidays and for gift ideas. I personally have the stainless steel lantern type and I am really happy with it. And the “Pine needle candlestick table decor” is a perfect gift idea for some people on my list. A big family means a big list of Holiday gifts, and your post would make my life easier with more great ideas.
Louise Allen
Hello Boriana,
I am pleased to have been able to help you with some gift ideas for your family.
There are so many lovely gifts available today and if you are a lover of candles as I am, the Internet is a great place for finding unique candle holders.
I also like the lantern type as they can be used inside and out.

I love to decorate inside and outside the home for the Christmas holidays. Inside my apartment now, I have 12 different flameless candle warmers going, and they are all Christmas-themed. I change them up for each holiday all year long; this includes even outside.Your Christmas candle holders post, will help a lot of people who are looking to buy new candle holders for Christmas.

Hi Jannette, yes flameless candles are very popular nowadays and I cover this in my article here.
They suit every home and are very safe to use. I think this is why they are so popular. It’s great that you change them for every holiday to suit your theme.
Yes, it’s a perfect time of year to start looking for special gifts, and we have so many candleholders available online, and in stores, they make a wonderful gift for everyone.
