Big Ass Luxuries is bringing back its giant holiday candles, complete with a festive glow
If your holiday decorating style leans toward making a statement, Big Ass Luxuries has something that lives up to its name.
The home fragrance brand known for its oversized candles is reintroducing its limited-edition Holiday Baby Big Ass Candles for the season. This year's collection includes two festive fragrances, Woodland Balsam and Holiday Cider, housed in decorative speckled glass vessels designed to add extra sparkle during the holidays.
While seasonal candles are nothing new, these stand out thanks to their sheer size. Each candle weighs in at 150 ounces and offers an estimated burn time of 300 to 500 hours, making them a centerpiece that could last well beyond the holiday season.

What makes Big Ass Luxuries different?
Founded by husband-and-wife team Trent and Chloe Mervine, Big Ass Luxuries was built around an intentionally simple premise: bigger candles, stronger fragrance and longer-lasting performance.
The brand says its candles are made with:
- Coconut soy wax
- Organic cotton wicks
- Paraben-free fragrance oils
- Phthalate-free fragrance oils
Beyond the ingredients, the company's biggest selling point is longevity. The Holiday Baby Big Ass Candle offers 300 to 500 hours of burn time, while the brand's full-sized Big Ass Candle can burn for up to 1,000 hours.
From "Shark Tank" to holiday gifting favorite
Big Ass Luxuries gained national attention after appearing on "Shark Tank," where founders Trent and Chloe Mervine secured a deal with Lori Greiner.
Since then, the brand has continued building a niche in the home fragrance space by focusing on oversized candles that serve as both functional home products and conversation-starting décor.
Why shoppers may want to grab one early
Limited-edition holiday home fragrances tend to sell quickly, especially as gifting season approaches. With festive packaging, oversized sizing, and seasonal scents, the Holiday Baby Big Ass Candles could appeal to shoppers looking for a gift that feels a little more memorable than the average candle.
Whether you're shopping for a holiday host, a candle enthusiast or yourself, these larger-than-life candles were designed to bring a little extra glow to the season.
