Advent candles – a stylish alternative to Advent calendars
12/11/2024

Calendar candles are a great alternative to traditional Advent wreaths. Not only are they attention-grabbing, but they give you a good reason to get that festive glow going each day. Some come in bright colours, while others have cool patterns or fancy numbers.
Already stressing about how to fill this year’s Advent calendars? Getting an Advent candle will make life a whole lot easier. Every day, you light the candle at the next number and hey presto. Even putting aside the festivities, they look good as is. The best part? They take up far less space than typical Advent calendars.

In contrast to conventional Advent calendars, which are typically full of knick-knacks or chocolate, calendar candles are much more subtle and calming. Burning the candle a little bit more every day is a nice ritual to get you into the Christmas spirit. You can decorate one candle or 24 single candles in your own style, be it with greenery or Christmas decorations. It’s entirely up to you.
