Uses for Christmas Candles 
There are endless possibilities for decorating with floating candles. Most commonly, floating candles will be used as part of a holiday table centerpiece. Creating a floating candle centerpiece for your Christmas table is quite simple. All you need to do is place a decorative bowl on a mirrored base in the center of your table. Add water and your candles then accent with festive touches such as candy, ribbon or glitter. Light the candles before your guests arrive.Floating candles can be used in wine glasses or any other decorative container you choose. Place a few around the room to cast light and add ambiance to your party. Why not wrap up a floating candle in netting and tie with a Christmas bow to use as a place setting on your holiday table? Add your guests' names to a tag and they will not only have a festive place setting but a fun gift to take home with them.
Candles make a quick and easy Christmas gift. They are perfect to give a hostess or use for a Secret Santa exchange. With all the designs available, you will be able to give a gift that is fun and festive and sure to be enjoyed during the holiday season. Wrap up floating candles as a group and give with a decorative bowl or throw some in to accent another gift you are giving.
No matter how you choose to decorate with your Christmas floating candles, they will add a special touch to any table or room.

Final Thoughts 
Since many floating candles come in shapes that appeal to children such as snowmen and Christmas cookie designs, pay close attention when you have lit candles around younger children. They may be attracted to the fun shapes and not realize that they are not meant to be played with. As with any candle, do not leave them unattended.
