Dare I say that nobody loves the warm glow of candlelight more than me? Nothing beats having a flickering warm flame adorn your holiday tablescape or adding a soothing ambiance to the living room. However, hosting for the holidays adds a lot of things to your mental to-do list, and the last thing you'll want to do is worry about leaving the Christmas candles lit for too long. Enter chic, flameless LED candles.
Amazon currently has several stylish faux tapered candles for sale, but I spotted these stunning flameless Christmas tree-shaped candles trending on TikTok, and it is changing the way I plan my Christmas candle ideas. A decorative, uniquely shaped candle is the cherry on top of the perfect festive table decor display, but the downside is having to actually light the candle and watch it slowly melt away.
These Christmas tree candles have all the pros of a real flame (flickering lights and made of real wax), but you can enjoy them for years to come. And here's how you can get your hands on it.

These Homemory candles from Amazon are not only festively stylish without the real flame, but they are made of real wax to give even more of that realistic candle feel. Even better? They flicker like real candles too. Content Creator, Lake and Lumber says in the caption of her video below that "they went out of stock quickly last year, so grab them while you can!" With a 4.9-star review on Amazon, I believe it.

The usual deterrent from shopping for LED candles is that they do not give the same glow as a real flame. Shopping for quality faux products is essential to perfecting the look. However, creating the illusion also lies in how you style your LED candles.
For instance, finding the best candlestick holders to compliment your look is the best place to start. I love a vintage-inspired look for the holidays. For example, brass and worn metals add a cozy, elegant aesthetic.
From there, you can get creative with DIY Christmas candle decor. Tie ribbons around the base for a trendy touch, or melt a bit of wax around the edge of your holder for an even more realistic detail. With no flames or hot wax in the mix, the options for styling flameless candles are limitless.
