What is the Yankee Candle ‘Love at First Light’ event?
Last year, the Yankee Candle Company hosted its first “Love at First Light” event, in which shoppers walked away with a free candle, and it was a hit. Since the chain’s large jar and tumbler candles are normally priced at $34.99, this giveaway was quite the steal.
After the 2025 success, the event is set to return this month, but there’s a twist. Shoppers must spend at least $10 to get a complimentary Original Large Jar candle. Luckily, the buy-one-get-one offer is still a fantastic deal for candle lovers or anyone looking for a great gift.
