You know how some candles walk into a room and whisper “holiday”?
This one kicks the door open, throws tinsel in the air, and says “Merry Christmas, sweetie look at me shine.”
Today we’re diving into the gel-and-EcoLux Christmas candle that has people messaging me things like:
“Omg where did you BUY that?”
And I get to reply with my favourite, slightly smug line of all time:
“Oh, I didn’t buy it. I MADE it.”
And soon… so will you.
Because this candle isn’t just pretty. It’s a certified holiday show-off. It’s rich, sparkly, fiery red, and smells like Christmas put on lipstick. And yes — every single supply comes from Candlehaven.ca. Let’s get into the good stuff.
The Vibe: Festive, Bold, and Ridiculously Gorgeous
Picture this:
A clear glass vessel filled halfway with ruby-toned gel wax sprinkled with sparkle dust, catching the light like crushed ornaments at the bottom of Santa’s gift bag.
Then a smooth top layer of EcoLux wax tinted Fierce Red — a colour that would make Mrs. Claus clutch her pearls.
When it burns? The flame reflects through the gel layer and creates this glowing ember effect that’s so hypnotic it should come with an adult content warning.
And then the scent hits you.
Cinnaberry Bliss.
A Candlehaven bestseller.
Warm. Spicy. Berry. Christmas-in-a-hug.
People have described it as “if mulled wine and a cinnamon pastry had a love child.”
It’s a whole holiday story in a jar.
What You Need (And Yes, I Sell All of It — You’re Welcome)
Let’s load up your virtual shopping cart:
✨ 1. Gel Wax
For that crystal-clear base that grabs sparkle like a disco floor.
Gel wax burns forever, looks expensive, and makes your candle instantly look like a boutique creation.
✨ 2. EcoLux Container Wax
Smooth. Creamy. Canadian favourite.
It holds colour beautifully and pairs perfectly with gel wax layers.
✨ 3. ECO Wick
Clean burn, reliable flame, minimal soot.
Exactly what you want for a layered candle like this.
✨ 4. Sparkle Additives
Diamond Sparkle Dust or Glitter for Gel Wax.
Trust me — once the gel catches the light, it’s game over.
✨ 5. Fierce Red Dye Chips
The secret behind THAT red.
It’s bold without being clownish, festive without being cheap.
✨ 6. Cinnaberry Bliss Fragrance Oil
The star of the show.
High quality. Strong hot throw. Perfect for winter.
Everything above is available at Candlehaven.ca — usually in stock, always Canadian, and shipped fast.
How To Make It (And Look Like a Candle Sorceress While Doing It)
This is your quick-and-flirty breakdown. Full tutorial lives on video, but here’s the gist.
1. Melt gel wax slowly.
Low heat. Gel wax is like a sensitive artist — it needs patience, not aggression.
2. Add sparkle.
A little goes a long way. Sprinkle it in and stir gently.
3. Pour your gel layer.
This will settle beautifully at the bottom of your vessel.
4. Melt EcoLux and tint it Fierce Red.
Once it hits the right temp range, add the dye chip and watch it transform.
5. Add Cinnaberry Bliss.
Try not to drink it. (Do not drink it.)
6. Pour the red wax over your gel layer.
Do this slowly to keep layers crisp and gorgeous.
7. Insert your ECO wick.
Center it with a wick holder or clip.
8. Let it cure.
Hard part: waiting.
Easy part: staring at it lovingly for hours.
