Marks & Spencer has brought back its popular Light Up Candles for Christmas 2026, and the range is currently available with a 20 percent discount. The Mandarin, Clove & Cinnamon scent, which has been described by shoppers as "Christmas in a jar," has been reduced from £12 to £9.
The candles, which feature snowy landscapes and "twinkling" LED lights that illuminate when lit, are ranked as a "bestseller" on the M&S website. The Mandarin, Clove & Cinnamon version holds a near-perfect five-star rating from customers.
Shopper Reviews Praise Festive Scents
One positive review read: "Christmas in a candle. Brings back my memories. Great smell that reminds me of my Christmas past. Smells and memories of how Christmas was about compassion and good will, and people seemed happier and less stressed."
Another shopper said: "Buy before they sell out. Bought these as Christmas presents and kept one for myself. Very decorative and beautiful aroma. Christmas in a jar."
A further comment read: "I buy this particular scented candle every Christmas (different styles each year) as it’s just so warm, cosy and Christmassy." Someone else remarked: "Ideal gift for Christmas or just to treat yourself. Magical when lite and lovely festive spice scent. Great value for money."
Refillable Design and Other Scents
The candle is refillable and can be reused each year by replacing the tealight once it has burned out. Many reviews praise this feature, allowing it to be reused every Christmas rather than purchasing a new one annually.
Another scent in the range, Frankincense & Myrrh, is also reduced to £9.60. It comes in an amber-coloured vessel and combines "opulent" and "elegant" aromas. The Yuletide Pine & Spice variant is now out of stock online due to high demand, though it may be worth checking in store.
The 20 percent discount also applies to other festive home fragrances, including the Set of 3 Mini Votive Candles, down from £15 to £12. M&S' Light Up Candles are available online for 20 percent less now.
