Candles light up Christmas sales
 

Candles, both real and battery operated, are lighting up the GTN Bestsellers Christmas chart.

This week there are 14 Christmas candle product lines in the Top 50 with a cumulative sales volume up 341% on the same week last year.

Battery operated candles are a key driver for this increase. 56% of this week’s candle products sales volume in the Top 50 is for battery operated candles.

Products shining this week include:

  • Kaemingk Church Candles are the week’s highest chart re-entry at No 6.
  • Premier Battery Operated Dancing Flame Cream Candles, 13cm high, are the fourth highest selling volume Christmas line in the chart, with the 18cm version at No 9.
  • The Christmas Present Gift set from Yankee Candles is just outside the Top 10 at No 11.
