Holiday & Winter Candles: A New Season of Warmth at Veranda Mercantile

There’s a moment each year when we begin reaching for the comforts of winter. A throw over the arm of a chair. Greenery gathered for the table. A candle lit as the afternoon fades.

Our new holiday and winter candles are chosen for those moments. From fresh fir and cedar to cinnamon and warm bakery notes, these fragrances bring a little of the season indoors, whether you’re welcoming guests or enjoying an evening with nowhere else to be.

This year’s arrivals include limited-edition soy candles from 1803 Candles, with festive jars and handled tin pails that are as lovely to give as they are to keep.

Christmas greenery with a little sweetness

For those who love a traditional Christmas fragrance, Mistletoe Kisses brings together pine and fir, bright red currant, cedar, and warming notes of clove and patchouli. It’s greenery and berries, with enough woodsy depth to balance the sweetness.

We love the 14 oz. plaid jar for a cheerful touch on a side table. The 20 oz. handled tin pail comes boxed, making it an especially thoughtful gift for the person opening their home this holiday season.

The fragrance of bringing the tree home

Some holiday traditions begin before the first ornament is hung. Santa’s List Fresh Cut Trees captures that anticipation with citrus, fir balsam, earthy woods, and a touch of clove.

Available in a 14 oz. glass jar and a boxed 20 oz. tin pail, it’s our pick for evenings spent decorating, wrapping gifts, or settling in after a busy December day.

Evergreens beyond Christmas

We like a winter fragrance that still feels right after the decorations have been put away. Balsam blends bright citrus, fir balsam, earthy woods, and clove for a fresh, woodsy scent that carries comfortably into January.

Choose the classic 14 oz. glass jar or the 20 oz. handled tin pail. Both offer a simple winter pleasure: the fragrance of evergreens, a warm room, and a little time to yourself.

Something warm from the kitchen

If your favorite winter scents lean toward baking and spice, Snowman Village is a lovely place to start. Cinnamon and chestnut mingle with caramelized sugar, butter, and marzipan cream for a sweet, softly spiced fragrance.

For a more straightforward spice scent, Clove Buds pairs aromatic clove oil with cinnamon sticks, without the fruit or bakery sweetness. It’s a comforting choice for cold afternoons and quiet evenings.

A gift to enjoy through the season

A candle makes a thoughtful thank-you for a holiday host, a welcome gift for a friend, or a small pleasure to bring home yourself. Choose evergreen notes for someone who loves a fresh, woodsy fragrance, Mistletoe Kisses for the Christmas traditionalist, or Snowman Village for the person who always gravitates toward something sweet.

Before lighting, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch and place your candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and anything flammable. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

We’re welcoming the season one small ritual at a time. We hope you’ll find a new favorite among our holiday and winter candles at Veranda Mercantile.
