Ah, the holidays. Whether you love them or hate them, there’s no use denying it; they are finally here. The CVS on the Corner has moved on from their 2 for 1 leftover Halloween candy sale, and the aisles once filled with pumpkin shaped Reese’s and pumpkin spice M&Ms are now shades of red and green. While Thanksgiving has yet to arrive, winter and holiday candles are already on the stands at every Bath and Body Works and home decor store. We’ve rounded up the best seasonal candles to fill your space with the scent of the holidays.
