Aldi has sent shoppers into a frenzy with the launch of a giant Christmas candle that costs a fraction of a similar luxury version from The White Company.
The budget supermarket's £25 six-wick candle, part of its new Hotel Collection, is being hailed as a near-identical alternative to The White Company's £95 Winter Indulgence 6 Wick Botanical Candle. This represents a staggering saving of £70 for consumers seeking a festive home fragrance.
What Makes The Aldi Candle So Special?
This isn't just any candle. The Aldi offering is an XXL size, weighing 4.5kg and promising an impressive 200 hours of burn time. Designed to be a statement piece for any coffee table or bookshelf, it's available in popular winter scents like Winter Spice and Scandinavian Forest.
Social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, have been flooded with praise for the find. Aldi fans are describing the candle as "amazing" and labelling it an absolute "need" for the Christmas season.
A Race Against Time in the Middle Aisle
As with most sought-after products in Aldi's famous middle aisle, availability is limited. The candles are selling out rapidly, and once they are gone, they are unlikely to be restocked.
This high demand and limited stock have created a sense of urgency, with shoppers rushing to their local stores to nab one before they disappear.
Festive Alternatives If You Miss Out
If you can't get your hands on Aldi's viral candle, several other high-street options offer a festive aroma without the luxury price tag:
- Blossom & Wood Inclusion Candle - Holiday Spice: Currently on offer for £16 at Boots.
- Next Pink Pepper & Cassis Collection Luxe Winter Decorative Candle: A three-wick candle available for £26.
- M&S Mandarin Clove & Cinnamon Botanical Candle: A smaller, yet festive, option for just £10.
Whether as a treat for yourself or a show-stopping gift, Aldi's giant candle proves that festive luxury doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag.
