Decorating the Christmas Table
Wondering how to transform your home into a cosy, festive haven for the holidays? Start with the table—the heart of family gatherings and joyful moments with friends. At Christmas, the dining table becomes a kind of sacred centrepiece where sumptuous meals, delightful treats, and seasonal drinks come together. One of the most versatile decorative accents for your holiday table is the elegant dinner candle, which casts a beautifully soft, enveloping light. Our top recommendations? The Sherwood, Altar Medium, and Maxi Tealight candles by Price’s Candles—favourites even of the royal family. Choose these luxurious candles to elevate your Christmas table to a truly regal level.
Sherwood Candles: A Touch of Royal Elegance
Our Sherwood candles, available in classic red, green, ivory, and white, are timeless symbols of tradition and refinement. These unscented, long-lasting dinner candles are perfect for extended festive meals and lavish Christmas and New Year’s dinners. For a classic look, pair them with silver or gold candlesticks—ideal if you’ve stocked up via your favourite online candle shop. Whether you’re hosting a formal banquet or an intimate family supper, Sherwood candles add an air of sophistication that truly sets the scene.
Creative Centrepieces with Altar Candles
Our Altar candles, featuring a simple yet striking design, provide the perfect foundation for imaginative and creative centrepieces. Here are some ideas to inspire your holiday table décor:
Natural Arrangements: Arrange Altar candles on a wooden platter, surrounding them with pine sprigs, berries, pine cones, and dried orange slices. Finish with a festive red ribbon for an extra touch of charm.
Minimalist Chic: Place Altar candles inside jar candles once they’re empty—fill the jars with golden sand or coarse salt. Add sprigs of rosemary or cinnamon sticks for a subtle, seasonal aroma.
Creative Recycling: Reuse empty jars or glass containers to house LED lights or Maxi Tealight candles. These delicate points of light will add a magical glow to your table, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Whether you’re browsing a candle shop UK or shopping online, these ideas will help you craft centrepieces that feel both elegant and personal.
Christmas Scented Candles: Transform Your Home
Unlike unscented candles, Price’s Candles’ scented varieties diffuse rich fragrances throughout the air, creating an atmosphere that complements moments of togetherness. While you’re savouring festive dishes at the table, let Christmas-scented jar candles fill the rest of your home. These aromas enhance the holiday ambience, turning every room into a cosy retreat. Though you’ll find plenty of scented options in our online candle shop, here are a few of our Christmas-specific favourites—certainly among the best candles UK homes rave about each winter:
Merry & Bright: A lively blend of citrus and spice, perfect for festive gatherings.
Winter Kisses: Romantic and sweet, evoking that first kiss under the mistletoe.
Winter Wonders: The pure, refreshing scent of a snow-covered forest.
Caramel Delight: Indulge your sweet tooth with the irresistible fragrance of caramel dessert.
Festive Warmth: Imagine snuggling in front of a roaring fire in a luxurious chalet—this scent wraps you in warmth.
It’s hard to resist gifting these delightful candles, but it’s even harder not to keep them for yourself. You’ll fall in love with their rich, inviting aromas—guaranteed!
Don’t Forget Your Outdoor Spaces: Citronella Candles
If you have friends or family gathering on a mild winter evening or a chilly patio brunch, consider adding a few citronella candles to your décor. While often associated with summer, a handful of citronella lights can be both decorative and practical, keeping any lingering insects at bay and giving a nod to those crisp winter nights outdoors.
