An Old American Christmas Tradition
A candle of bayberry, burned to the socket, brings food to the larder and gold to the pocket.
In the spirit of an old-fashioned American Christmas, we carry on a cherished custom passed down through generations: the burning of genuine bayberry candles.
Dating back to colonial New England, bayberry candles were a treasured part of the holiday season. Made from the wax of the native bayberry shrub, these candles were traditionally saved for special occasions. On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, families would light their bayberry tapers and let them burn to the nub, welcoming good fortune, a plentiful table, and prosperity in the coming year.
Ours are made much as they were generations ago.
Each pair is patiently hand-dipped on an original 1850 carousel wheel, then individually hand-strung, preserving a craft that has endured for more than a century and a half.
The first 25 dips are made with 100% pure bayberry wax, followed by three final dips of 80% bayberry wax and 20% beeswax. This careful process gives each taper its deep, earthy green color, delicate woodland fragrance, and a strong, steady burn.
In time, a soft white bloom may appear upon the candles. This is the natural mark of genuine bayberry wax, a reminder of the simple, honest ingredients from which they are made.
Sold in traditional hand-dipped pairs, these candles are meant to be lit, shared, and remembered. A small piece of early American life, made for the hearths and holiday tables of today.
May your home be warm, your table plentiful, and your coming year filled with good fortune.

New (to me) holiday tradition
"I definitely didn’t have the same experience as the other reviewers. My candles were lovely, with a pleasant, subtle scent, and burned all evening on Christmas Eve and New Year’s. I’m excited to make these a new holiday tradition in our house and plan on getting them for my close friends and family too. These opinions are my own and were certainly not sponsored or solicited. I just had to weigh in and balance out those negative reviews. :)"
Wonderful true Bayberry candles
"I've been buying this brand for many years, and always burn them on Christmas eve and New Year's eve. They have a very subtle scent, which is what you get with a natural product. Their burn time is fantastic, many hours on even the small candles."
