The holidays are the perfect time to stock up on holiday candles or gift them to a loved one who shares your candle adulation. keep scrolling to see our must-have candles for the holidays.

What I love most about this candle is its powerful scent and sleek presentation. Phlur candles ($45) are beautifully packaged in white jars that make your space feel luxurious. Wild Balsam is the quintessential holiday scent and this candle doesn’t disappoint. It is an instant portal to holiday memories wrapped in bright bergamot, freshly crushed pine needles, and snapped balsam branches mingled with cool juniper, spicy amber, and rich cedarwood. Boasting a 70-hour burn time, this candle lasts long with great fragrance all the way through.

Ariel’s Candle Shop candle in the scent “Dream” ($24) is the best wax fragrance I have ever smelled in my life. It is the perfect combination of sweet, and clean without being overpowering. Described as “fresh soft cotton tones and succulent white peach notes intertwined with clean lavender, juicy strawberries, and creamy coconut scents,” the fragrance is a harmonious blend. Made from pure soy wax, the burn time is 45 – 50 hours with proper candle care.

Poured by a Black woman straight from Brooklyn, NY, Lit Brooklyn is a labor of love for Deniqua Williams. Featuring culturally relevant phrases like “More Life” and other classic names like 1989, Muse, Joy, Beau, and Blush, Lit Brooklyn lives up to its clever moniker. In an interview with TheLifestyleNYC, Williams opened up about her beloved candle collection. “With LIT Brooklyn, I am hands-on with every aspect of the business. My clients have access to me, which in turn I think makes them love the brand more. There is nothing that doesn’t go past me. Every candle since its inception has been poured by me. That’s special, to me at least.”
