The Ultimate Winter Candle Gift Guide for Canadians | Best Winter Candles Canada
Winter gifting in Canada is not for the faint of heart. The days are short, the weather is unforgiving, and everyone is craving warmth, comfort, and something that feels intentional. This is exactly why candles remain one of the most loved winter gifts across the country.
If you are searching for the best winter candles in Canada, especially candles that are handmade in Alberta, clean burning, and designed for real Canadian winters, this guide is for you.
At Ebony and Ivory Candle Co., every candle is hand poured in Lethbridge, Alberta, using 100 percent soy wax or coconut soy blends. These are winter candles made to glow beautifully, burn cleanly, and make the season feel warmer.
This winter, three scents stand out above the rest.
Ski Bum: The #1 Winter Candle for Peppermint Lovers
If winter had a signature scent, Ski Bum would be it.
Cool, crisp peppermint opens the candle with an icy freshness that feels instantly energizing. Then comes the magic. A smooth swirl of creamy vanilla melts into the air, wrapping the space in warmth and comfort. It is fresh and cozy at the same time, which is exactly why Ski Bum has become a winter favourite across Canada.
Why people love Ski Bum:
• fresh peppermint that feels clean, not overpowering
• creamy vanilla that adds warmth and balance
• perfect for winter mornings and slow evenings
• cozy enough for snowstorms, refreshing enough for year round use
Ski Bum is a must have if you love peppermint and want a candle that truly captures winter.

Northern Lights: A Calm and Ethereal Canadian Winter Candle
Inspired by the skies above, Northern Lights is the winter candle for those who crave quiet moments and grounding energy.
This scent blends frosted pine needles, cold eucalyptus, crisp lavender, and damp cedarwood to create an atmospheric winter experience. It feels like stepping into a snow covered forest under a clear night sky. Calm, fresh, and quietly powerful.
Why Northern Lights stands out:
• fresh winter forest notes without heavy sweetness
• grounding and calming scent profile
• perfect for evenings, reading, and reflection
• works beautifully all winter long

Why Apple Cider is a winter classic:
• warm and comforting without being overpowering
