There is a reason Night Before Christmas comes back every year with a queue waiting for it. Glasshouse's cult festive fragrance smells like plum pudding and sweet treats: blackcurrant and redcurrant up front, plum, lemon, lavender and rose through the middle, settling into musk, oak moss and a touch of spice. Rich, fruity and quietly grown up, it is Christmas Eve in a candle.
The 2026 vessel is part of Glasshouse's A Very Merry World collection, illustrated by Jeffrey Phillips. This one depicts a lavish celebration at a grand British country estate, all old world glamour, roaring fireplaces and theatrical characters, which suits the fragrance perfectly. It is a collector's piece as much as a candle, and it needs no wrapping to be a gift.
At the full 5 out of 5, this is one of the strongest fragrances Glasshouse makes, so it fills a large or open plan room with ease. Light it when people arrive and it will carry through the whole house.

Details:
380g soy blend candle with a lid and two natural lead free cotton wicks, for an even burn and up to 60 hours of pure, intensely fragrant scent. No Parabens. No Silicones. No PEGs.
Instructions:
Trim wicks to 7mm before each use using scissors or a wick trimmer. Wicks that are too short may stop the wax burning to the edge (tunnelling), while wicks left too long can mushroom and cause black soot to form on the glass. Place your candle in a draught free spot, away from small children, pets and flammable material. Burn for no less than one hour and no more than four hours at a time.
