5 Perfect Holiday Candles for Your Home

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

Time to bundle up and snuggle on our couches while breathing in that holiday air! If there’s anything that we have missed about this time of the year it’s that warm, comfy, and sweet smell while we are sitting at home just relaxing, reading a book by the Christmas tree or enjoying the holidays with family. As soon as finals are out of the way and we get back home for a lovely break, let’s not forget to take a quick trip to Bath & Body Works for some candle shopping. Here are the perfect candles that will put us in the cozy holiday spirit:

1. Mahogany Teakwood

Perfect to light up for on an extra cold and windy day! It will give your home a woodsy and cozy vibe.

2.  Pumpkin Pecan Waffles

It will definitely make you crave waffles all the time, that’s for sure! The combination of pumpkin and waffles really gives this candle an extra sweet fragrance.

3. Merry Cookie

If you don’t feel like baking any holiday treats to make your smell delicious, no worries! This candle will give your home that “cookies fresh out of the oven” scent. 

4. Caramel Pumpkin Swirl

Caramel and pumpkin is the perfect mixture to smell the holiday air!

5. Winter Candy Apple

Your home will definitely have a strong sweet candy scent after burning this candle!
