Ember Shade- Santa’s Hot Cocoa- Coconut Milk, Peppermint,Chocolate, Vanilla

Santa’s Hot Cocoa — Ember Shade Candle

Chocolatey • Minty • Creamy

A little holiday magic. A moment of comfort.

Step inside from the winter cold, where the tree lights glow, a favorite blanket waits, and a steaming cup of peppermint hot cocoa makes the evening feel complete.

Santa’s Hot Cocoa opens with creamy coconut milk, followed by a cool swirl of peppermint. Rich chocolate and soft vanilla create a sweet, comforting foundation—a fragrance reminiscent of hot cocoa piled high with whipped cream and finished with crushed candy canes.

Poured in white wax, Santa’s Hot Cocoa pairs nostalgic Christmas artwork with a personal ritual of slowing down, welcoming joy, and making time for the people and traditions you love.

The Ritual: A Cup of Christmas Comfort

Comfort • Joy • Connection • Gratitude

Santa’s Hot Cocoa is an invitation to pause during a season that can fill up quickly. Between shopping lists, busy schedules, and making things special for everyone else, give yourself permission to enjoy something simple.

For this ritual, let coconut milk symbolize softness and care. Peppermint can represent a fresh outlook, while chocolate brings to mind generosity, shared treats, and familiar comforts. Vanilla symbolizes the warmth of home and the traditions you choose to carry forward.

The cocoa cup and glowing lantern on the label serve as reminders that some of the most meaningful holiday moments happen quietly—around a table, beside the tree, or in the company of someone you love.

Place your candle on a level, heat-resistant surface, away from holiday greenery and decorations. Put aside your phone, take three slow breaths, and choose an intention—welcoming joy, making time for connection, practicing gratitude, or allowing yourself a peaceful evening.

Light the candle and say:

“By this light, I welcome warmth.
I make room for simple joys.
May kindness find a place at my table,
and comfort find a place in my home.
Tonight, I give myself time to enjoy the season.”

Spend a few moments thinking about what makes the holidays meaningful to you. Ask yourself: Which tradition do I want to make time for? Who would I like to connect with? What small comfort can I enjoy tonight?

Choose something simple. Make a cup of cocoa, write a thoughtful card, put on a favorite holiday movie, or share a quiet conversation beneath the Christmas lights.

Use this ritual during holiday journaling, gift wrapping, a quiet winter evening, or a gathering with loved ones. Keep wrapping paper, ribbons, and decorations away from the flame. Extinguish your candle before leaving the room or becoming sleepy.

Approximate burn times depend on proper candle care. Keep your wood wick trimmed before every burn to encourage an even, consistent burn. Wick maintenance, burn length, drafts, and room conditions can affect how quickly your candle uses wax.

Wood Wick Care & Candle Safety

Before lighting, make sure the wax is cool and firm. Trim the wood wick to approximately ⅛–¼ inch, removing loose charred pieces and keeping the wax free of debris. For candles with multiple wicks, trim and light every wick.

Hold the lighter at the base of the wood wick until it catches. During the first burn, allow the melt pool to spread toward the edges, without exceeding four hours.

Burn for 2–4 hours at a time, on a level, heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Let the candle cool completely before trimming, moving, or relighting.

Stop using the candle when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.

Never leave a burning candle unattended or burn while sleeping. Keep away from children, pets, curtains, and anything flammable. Do not touch or move a hot vessel, add water or other materials to the wax, or use the lid to extinguish the flame. Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes unusually high or produces persistent smoke.

How to Use the Ritual Melt

Remove the cap and squeeze a small amount into a warmer dish designed for wax melts. Start small and stay within your warmer’s capacity. Replace the pouch cap after use and follow the warmer manufacturer’s instructions.

When finished, switch off and unplug an electric warmer. Allow the wax and dish to cool completely. Once cool, wipe the soft wax out with a paper towel and dispose of it in the trash.

Do not add water, light the wax directly, heat the pouch, or pour wax down a drain. Keep away from children and pets. Do not ingest or apply to skin. Never touch hot wax, move a hot warmer, or leave it unattended while operating.
