The 2025 Wax Melt Advent Calendar was my very first advent, and I wanted to make it truly special – something that made every December day feel enchanting. It featured 25 stunning wax melt shapes, each created in an exclusive design and weighing approximately 30–50g. Unlike standard calendars, where individual melts can be as small as 10g, these were generously sized, premium-quality pieces that filled homes with festive warmth from the moment they began to melt. Several of the melts also included hand-painted details, adding a magical touch of sparkle to the Christmas countdown.
