Yankee Candle Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection 2018 (UK).
Launch Date: July 2018 / Release
Calling all Yankee addicts: consider this your go-to reference guide for navigating all things Yankee Candle related this Christmas!
This year’s Yankee Candle Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection includes a big range of candles, accessories and gift sets.
There’s also the usual fold-out Advent Calendar as well as the smaller wreath tea light Advent Calendar that we have come to expect from Yankee.
New for 2018 is another huge Advent Calendar. In fact, this is Yankee’s largest one ever and it’s even called the ‘Tower’; doesn’t that just sound incredible?!

All of this is exciting stuff but no doubt the main draw of this year’s festive releases are the four brand new Christmas fragrances that form the central part of the ‘Holiday Sparkle’ collection.
New for 2018: Yankee Candle Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection
The Yankee Candle Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection is inspired by that brief yet magical time of day when the sun sets in the sky. It’s known as the ‘golden hour’ in the film industry because everything looks beautifully golden and this creates a lovely warm toned aesthetic; almost like an Instagram filter for real life!

Advent Calendars: Yankee Candle Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection
Candles covered so now let’s get onto the next most exciting releases: the Advent Calendars!
- YANKEE CANDLE TOWER ADVENT CALENDAR – £74.99
Yup, this is the whopper! No doubt that this is an expensive Christmas gift or Advent Calendar but there is a lot in here so it may be worth splashing out on if your buying for yourself or another huge Yankee Candle fan.

- YANKEE CANDLE FOLD OUT ADVENT CALENDAR – £34.99
This is the toned-down, regular Yankee Candle Advent Calendar that we’re all a little bit more used to seeing. It’s less than half the price of the Tower and makes £34.99 seem very reasonable by comparison! Still a tad expensive though. Wonder if they’ll be any left in the sales? I think these things have sold out in previous years so maybe it’s best to not risk waiting of you have your heart set on it for either yourself or a loved one. I think I’ll wait and see if there are any good sales and deals for this later on.

I couldn’t agree more! Yankee have really outdone themselves this year with all of these lovely candle releases! x
So many candles! I love all the candles that are brought out near Christmas and Yankee candles always seem to the best. I need to get some new ones for this Christmas and reading this post has given me some ideas on which ones to get for myself and which ones may be good Christmas presents too. Thank you for creating this post and showing all the new candles that are available. I can wait to buy some!

Hey Alex!
We must have similar likes in candle fragrances because Sugar Frost Christmas really appeals to me too! I think that Yankee Candle have really outdone themselves with this years’ festive releases as there’s almost something for everyone.
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting Alex! Glad you like my blog!

Thank you Sophie! So glad you liked my Yankee Candle Christmas post and yes, Winter Wonder sounds like a beautifully fragranced candle! Citrus, champagne, vanilla and musk; what a combination! 😚
Ughhh making me want to blow my entire paycheck on these candles, haha!! I LOVE festive candles of any kind, something about them is always so incredibly cosy, warm and comforting. I love the look of this year’s festive collection, Icy Blue Spruce particularly caught my attention as it does sound very unique. I smelled the Glittering Star the other day and really loved it, but I am currently burning Christmas Memories which is sweet, spicy and warm all at the same time. Thanks for sharing this, my beaut! ❤ xoxo

Hi Julia! This year’s Holiday Sparkle Christmas Collection from Yankee Candle is truly epic! And yes, returning favourite ‘Christmas at the Beach’ is one that I’ve got my eye on too!
