Bayberry Soy Pillar & Votive Candles – Traditional Christmas Eve Prosperity Candle

Bring the warmth of holiday tradition into your home with our hand-poured Bayberry Scented Soy Pillar and Votive Candles, a customer-favorite and timeless Christmas classic. Made with natural soy wax, rich red candle dye, and a lead-free hemp wick, these candles deliver a clean, even burn and the nostalgic holiday scent that generations have cherished.

Our Bayberry fragrance blends fresh fir and balsam with delicate notes of nutmeg and ginger, creating an authentic, old-fashioned Christmas aroma perfect for decorating, gifting, and celebrating meaningful traditions.

✨ A Candle Steeped in Holiday History

Bayberry candles date back to colonial times, when bayberries were prized for their naturally waxy texture and clean, fragrant burn. Because so many berries were needed to make just one candle, they became a symbol of prosperity and good fortune.

According to tradition, burning a Bayberry candle on Christmas Eve brings luck, joy, and abundance in the year ahead. This makes it a thoughtful and sentimental gift—especially when paired with the beloved Bayberry Candle Poem:

“This Bayberry candle comes from a friend,

So on Christmas Eve burn it down to the end—

For a Bayberry candle burned to the socket

Will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.”
