The company recently released winter holiday-themed candles sculpted to look like snowy Christmas trees, teddy bears, reindeer, knitted balls, and many others. The scent may evoke winter memories as the candles smell like freshly baked 'Gingerbread Cookies,' wood and pine from a 'Christmas Forest,' a warm cup of 'Mulled Cider,' and wondrous notes of Frankincense given by the 'Three Wise Men.' The candles are made with [high-quality soy wax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances), natural dyes, and premium fragrance oils. Pastel Palette's website discusses how the "candles are designed as an aesthetic home decor, which are too pretty to light… [and] will fill your space with lush fragrance for sure." Consumers can give Pastel Palette's candles as gifts and stocking stuffers or use them as home decorations this Christmas.
