Marks & Spencer's magical light up candles are back for Christmas: 'Absolutely beautiful'
Looking for a brand-new, festive-scented candle?
Well, you're in luck — because we've just spotted that Marks & Spencer has restocked its best-selling light up candles for Christmas. And this time around there's all-new designs and scents.
Costing just £10 and available in a range of styles, the candles are great for adding a much-needed touch of ambience to any room and feature scents that are perfect for restoring balance to a busy home.
Why we rate it
First off, let's talk through the light up feature. Sure, all candles "light up" when their flame is lit, but these candles from M&S go one step further.
Once lit, the candles activate a series of wraparound LED lights to create a warm, relaxing glow, which — combined with the sequin-infused outer gel — create a magical iridescent finish.
As a result, they're the perfect way to update your mantelpiece ready for Christmas.
As for the actual scents, there's Neroli, Lime and Basil (returning for another year) and Mandarin, Clove & Cinnamon for you to choose.
In terms of design, M&S has brought back its sought-after cityscape designs, with a choice between both London and Edinburgh's skyline.
Not stopping there, there's also three brand-new neon designs, too. Available now, you can purchase the Neon Tree, Neon Ho Ho Ho or Neon Heart.
Now all that's left is for you to do is whack on your favourite festive film, throw on your cosiest pyjamas and light up your new candle. But be quick, because one or two of the candles have already sold out...
