Christmas Candles, Lanterns and Lights to Make Your House Twinkle

Christmas, above any other time in the year, is the time we love to banish the dark days and chilly nights with twinkly lights, Christmas Candles and gorgeous lanterns. We all have our favourites, from the more traditional filament bulbs to the modern bright LED spectacular, cheerfully coloured or the simplicity of white.

This post contains affiliate links – you don’t pay any more, but I may earn a teensy smidge of commission (which frankly just helps my coffee habit). But I never recommend something to you I wouldn’t recommend to my sister. And yes, I do love my sister.

Christmas Candles give our home a warm glow (and sometimes a lovely scent to boot), and lanterns take our thoughts back to days and Christmases gone by, perhaps with an eye to all things Dickens with snow and carol singers.

Naturally we’re no different; we have a love of all things twinkly, so we have come up with a list of our favourite Christmas Candles, lanterns and festive lights that we have found this year to help make your Christmas merry and bright.
