Pure beeswax Advent candles, hand-dipped in Colorado

Four Sundays, one candle at a time. Our beeswax Advent candles are hand-dipped from 100% pure beeswax and dyed all the way through in the traditional colors: deep Eggplant purple for hope, peace and love, and soft Dusty Rose for the third Sunday's joy. They give off a warm, golden light and a gentle honey aroma. Paraffin can't do either.

What's in the set

  • 3 pairs of Eggplant (purple) tapers and 1 pair of Dusty Rose (pink) tapers: 8 candles in total
  • Enough for your wreath plus a full spare set, so you can replace candles that burn down before Christmas
  • Standard 7/8" diameter to fit most Advent wreaths and taper holders
  • Choose 8", 10", 12" or 16" lengths

How to light your Advent wreath

  • First Sunday: one purple candle
  • Second Sunday: two purple candles
  • Third Sunday (Gaudete): two purple candles and the pink candle
  • Fourth Sunday: all four candles

The first candle burns the most, which is why the spare set comes in handy. Taller tapers (12" or 16") are a good choice if you light your wreath every evening, not just on Sundays.

Why beeswax for Advent

  • 100% pure beeswax, nothing added. Lightly filtered cappings wax from US beekeepers, hand-dipped in Montrose, Colorado, since 1991.
  • About 1 hour of burn per inch, and drip-free with proper care.
  • Color dyed all the way through, not a painted-on coat, so it stays rich as the candle burns down.

Complete your wreath

Pair your candles with our Ginkgo Advent Wreath Taper Holder, or browse our cast iron and hand-forged taper holders. For the full Advent guide and more sets, visit our Advent candles collection.

Candle care

  • To prevent dripping, keep tapers away from windows, fans and drafts. We don't recommend hurricane glass for tapers, because the radiant heat can cause drips.
  • Leave the burnt wick untrimmed before relighting to help prevent drips.
  • Use a snuffer for a smoke-free finish.
  • Burn on a heat-safe surface and never leave a candle unattended.

Order in time for Advent

Advent begins Sunday, November 29. To light your first candle that morning, order with ground shipping by Sunday, November 15, with 2-day shipping by Wednesday, November 18, or overnight by Thursday, November 19. See all holiday shipping dates.

Thoughtfully packaged, this beeswax Advent candle set also makes a meaningful gift for family, godparents, or anyone who keeps the season. Sending it as a gift? Add your gift message at checkout.

Advent Bundle

So beautiful! My only wish would be an advent wreath to go along with the bundle, or candle holders that could be attached to a wreath. The candles are beautiful and burn so smoothly.

Hi Mary,

Clean burn

I’ve been burning these candles every night for 2 1/2 weeks now and they are burning beautifully. No dripping mess. The wick is staying long and maintaining a tall flame. There are no fake smells thanks to the 100% bees wax. I’m very pleased. They also came wrapped very nicely and securely.

Smell from the dye??

These candles must have some kind of smell from the dye (especially the purple). They do not have the lovely beeswax smell. The normal beeswax smell is muted by some other unpleasant smell.

Excellent candles

I am a loyal customer of many years; thank you for keeping the quality high and the prices fairly reasonable. The latter is important; please don’t raise prices because things are not easy and I would love to continue to buy beeswax from you. We appreciate your work.

Excellent customer service!

Bluecorn goes out of their way to resolve any issues. I’ve been using them for years and for the first time, there was a mistake in my order. Jennifer responded and very generously fixed everything without any delay. You don’t get this kind of customer service often these days anymore. I am very grateful!!!

Hello,

What type of dye is used?

Thank you

Bluecorn Candles

Hi Vanessa,
We use EVO liquid dye to color our candles. The dye itself is suspended in a vegetable oil carrier base, as opposed to the more common petroleum carrier oil. Our dyes are California Prop 65 and REACH compliant. We use dyes that contain no chemicals classified as harmful or toxic nor any CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) or PBT (persistent, bio accumulative, toxic) substances. Our dyes do not contain any ingredient listed in OSHA's hazardous communication 29 CFR 1910.1200.
We also have more than a quarter century of experience serving customers with extreme chemical sensitivity who are able to safely and enjoyably burn our colored candles.
Let me know if you have any other questions,
Jennifer

Hello! What are the candle wicks made out of?

Bluecorn Candles

Hi Hanson,
Thank you so much for reaching out!
Bluecorn's wicks are always cotton or a blend of paper and cotton. We never use traditional zinc or lead-core wicks. Our wick bases are flat-rolled steel with a zinc coating. We use hundreds of different kinds of wicks and are constantly test burning to make sure wick and wax are a perfect match for the particular candle type.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
All the best,
Jennifer
