Best Christmas Candles and Diffusers:
Yankee Candle Passport To The Holidays Munich Christmas Market £29.99 – BUY HERE
We loved this candle by Yankee Candle! With a cosy burn time of 60-90 minutes, it’s perfect for the holiday season. The sweet, spicy blend of crisp cookies, orange zest, star anise, and dark chocolate filled our room with the warm, festive feel of the Christmas markets we visited last year. We burned it for about two hours, and the rich scent lingered long after we put it out, without ever being overpowering.
