As a self-professed Bath & Body Works devotee, it doesn’t truly feel like the holidays until the merry and bright scents of Winter Balsam, Mahogany Teakwood, and Sweater Weather are softly wafting through my apartment. Bath & Body Works might be best known for its signature $24.95 fall and winter candles, but many of the store’s nonseasonal signature three-wicks have also built up a cult following among the candle community — and every candle is a fraction of the price for the store’s most highly anticipated sale of the year. (Did I mention that candles make great gifts?)

Bath & Body Works’ annual Candle Day Sale is back, marking 13 years (!) of the brand’s popular post-Black Friday three-wick shopping bonanza. Starting Friday, December 6, loyalty members are able to shop early access sales in-store, on the app, and online.

The good news is that if you are not a loyalty member, you can still shop the sale today — you just need to sign up to become a Rewards member when you get through the queue to shop and start buying candles instantly.

If you don’t want to sign up, non-loyalty members can get in on the Candle Day sales one day later as the discounts officially kick off on December 7 through December 8.

Like before, all the three-wicks are marked down to only $9.95 from $24.95, which is over 50% off. However, this year’s selection is even bigger than last year’s, with Bath & Body Works confirming there will be 180 discounted candles spanning 140 different scents. There are also over 50 Candle Day exclusives, including Iced Winter Balsam, Mahogany Coconut, Coffee, and Cranberry & Pomegranate scents. 

Shopping for your white elephant gatherings (as well as all your candle-loving loved ones) is about to get so easy, so you’ll want to make a game plan to score all your favorite scents before they sell out. Because a selection of 180 candles can get overwhelming, here are some of the coziest options to consider as you’re adding to cart.

It’s hard to go wrong with any of Bath & Body Works’ Balsam scents, but this iced option from the White Barn line is one of my favorites from last year. Along with the Christmas tree-inspired scent you know and love, this candle also has notes of eucalyptus and pine, delivering an olfactory experience that’s more refreshing and spa-inspired than the original Balsam scent.

Bath & Body Works’ White Tea & Sage candle is one of my all-time favorite scents. I bring out my three-wick as soon as the holidays are over, thanks to its inviting scent of bergamot, sage, and white tea. It’s refreshing without being overpowering, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it, and this candle is one of my go-to gifts for my friends.

Mahogany Teakwood is a Bath & Body Works bestseller for a reason, but I might like the Mahogany Coconut version — which came out last year but has since been discontinued — even better. You get the same mahogany, woodsy notes as the original, but it’s lightened up with some English lavender and coconut.

It’s hard coming up with a candle for that in-between Christmas and New Year’s period, but Merry Mimosa fits that bill. This was one of my favorite apple-inspired scents from last year, thanks to its bright and fragrant combination of sweet champagne, sugar crystals, and light fruit.

A new scent this holiday, Falling Flurries combines the best of both worlds with woody sandalwood and notes of pear. Plus, the herbaceous thyme and fresh eucalyptus also give this candle a rejuvenating vibe as it scents your home.

Keep in mind that there’s a chance that some of the most popular candle scents will sell out online and move to Bath & Body Works stores on Sunday, so plan your shopping accordingly.
