Shoppers across the UK are celebrating as Home Bargains reintroduces its hugely popular Christmas candle range, with all items priced at an affordable £2.99. The discount retailer announced the return of these festive favourites through a social media post that immediately captured customers' attention.
Festive Scents in Sparkling Cans
The collection features four distinct Christmas fragrances, each presented in eye-catching, sparkly drink can designs that have caused some confusion among shoppers. The available scents include Holly Jolly Juice, Frosted Berry Fizz, Cinnamon Spice Spritzer and Candy Cane Cocktail, all designed to evoke the traditional aromas of the holiday season.
Home Bargains showcased the complete range on Facebook, with a company spokesperson enthusiastically describing the products as "a complete vibe!". The social media display presented the candles neatly arranged on a shop display, highlighting each of the four colourful options.
Shoppers Share Their Excitement
Customer reactions to the announcement have been overwhelmingly positive, with many quickly sharing their experiences in the comments section. One enthusiast declared: "I want all the colours! They're so shiny and pretty!" while another confirmed their quality, stating: "Definitely well worth it. The candy cane one (light blue) is really nice-smelling and they also last really well too."
A particular favourite emerged among commenters, with one shopper asserting: "Red one (Cinnamon Spice) is the best smelling one!" Another customer noted how well the purple candle complemented their existing Christmas decorations, mentioning they "need to get a few now that they're back."
The unusual packaging did cause some initial confusion, with several shoppers admitting they mistook the candles for actual beverages. "I thought it was a drink!" one person confessed, while another replied: "Same! I thought they were festive cocktails or something until I read the label!"
Exclusive to Physical Stores
These affordable festive candles are only available in physical Home Bargains locations and cannot be purchased through the retailer's website. This store-exclusive availability might prompt customers to visit their local branch quickly to avoid disappointment.
Some observant shoppers noted that the design appears inspired by DW Home's Soda Pop range, which sells similar can-shaped candles for approximately £13 when not discounted, making Home Bargains' £2.99 version a significantly more budget-friendly alternative.
In related Home Bargains news, the retailer has reminded customers about the mandatory carrier bag charge applied at checkout. The company charges 15p for reusable bags across most of the UK (40p in Northern Ireland), which they claim represents one of the cheapest options available on the high street. The discount store encourages shoppers to bring their own bags to both save money and benefit the environment.
