Christmas is absolutely the best time to indulge in a candle. It’s the perfect excuse to splash out on one of life’s luxuries and will certainly help to get you into the Christmas spirit. Here’s my round up of the best Christmas Candles 2025.

There’s a whole host of Christmas candles (and less traditional options) to choose from this year, so I thought I’d make it a little easier for you to decide which you need.

Diptyque Christmas Candles 2025

Diptyque have an absolutely beautiful design this year. This, combined with the fact that the quality of these candles is amazing, make them the perfect choice.

The collection this year is absolutely beautiful. There are limited edition candle designs and they are stunning.

I love the Sapin candle which gives us a unique take on a pine candle. It is designed to capture the invigorating beauty of an aromatic forest.

Jo Malone Christmas Candles 2025

This year’s Christmas collection from Jo Malone is super beautiful and we have a brand new festive scent – Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot Cologne* – plus some brilliant festive returns.

The design for this year’s Jo Malone London Christmas collection is stunning and there’s a limited edition Bitter Orange & Chocolate Ceramic Candle* that’s all about the indulgent aroma of dark chocolate and orange peel.

If you are looking for a Jo Malone classic, then you will be pleased to know that Pine and Eucalyptus* is back!

The candle design and styling this year is really pretty. Make sure you check out the my review on the full Jo Malone Christmas 2025 collection.

Velvet Smoke Filthy Rose Candle – not essentially Christmas but my favourite!

Even if Filthy Rose isn’t “holiday-themed,” its depth and character make it a brilliant companion for December evenings when you want something richer, warmer and personal. I absolutely love this candle and I might even be bold enough to say that it’s my all time favourite.

It has a beautiful blend of damson rose, tobacco, saffron, amyris and black pepper that gives a sophisticated, sensual, slightly edgy scent that fills the house. For Christmas, it’s far from predictable, but wonderfully atmospheric. Read: Velvet Smoke Filthy Rose Scented Candle Review.

Raven James Celeste Candle

Although not a traditional “Christmas pine or spice” candle, Celeste has a dreamy, celestial-vibe aesthetic that works beautifully at this time of year. Its design and ambience make it feel right at home alongside fairy lights, winter decor or a quiet, reflective evening, ideal if you prefer something different from the standard holiday scents.

Space NK Christmas Candles 2025

For something a little more affordable yet super high quality and gorgeous, you can’t beat Space NK’s Shimmering Spice. It is one of my Christmas icons.

It’s a delicious blend of spicy cinnamon and the fresh citrus notes of orange, mandarin and litsea cubeba. It has a gorgeous base of cedar and vanilla and is just perfect for getting you into the Christmas spirit.

NEOM Christmas Candles 2025

NEOM candles are amazing. I love Christmas Wish which is a lovely sweet, cinnamony affair. It is formulated with a blend of 13 pure essential oils and includes mandarin, cinnamon and tonka bean. It is designed to evoke the traditional scent of Christmas and deliver aromatherapeutic benefit at the same time.
