A holiday window glow up with Christmas window candles using flameless candles and vintage candle holders!
Growing up we always had window candles during the holidays in our home. And many of the homes in my hometown would have these lights too. I really love the look and feeling that Christmas window candles create!
The window candles we had weren’t actually candles, but plug in lights. This holiday season I wanted to recreate the look of these nostalgic window candles using battery operated Christmas window candles rather than real candles or plug in lights.

There are many great options to buy these battery operated Christmas window candles ready to go. However, I wanted to make our Christmas window candles look like real candles!

These real look, flameless candles were perfect for achieving the look of a real candle, while still being battery operated! The quality of them is great.
The flameless candles have a real wax body, two flickering light settings, and they come with a remote and have an auto timer function. I have mine set to come on for 2 hours every evening.

I found these beautiful, brass, vintage candle holders to go with the flameless candles to create my window candles.
I love how unique and charming these candle holders look, especially with our cafe curtains and DIY window trim too!

The quality of the candle holders is great too, they are heavy weight, and not cheap, but the price is so good for the value! They are definitely one of my favorite Amazon finds!

I love how these Christmas window candles look during the daytime, evening, and nighttime! You can see a video of our Christmas window candles flickering and me using the remote feature on Instagram here!

These Christmas window candles would look darling with some velvet ribbon tied around them or candle wreaths like these!

Our dining room Christmas decor is now complete and I love how festive this room looks and feels with these window candles and our dining room Christmas tree!

Have you ever decorated with Christmas window candles before? What is your favorite way to do them?!
Our next space to decorate will be our living room and fireplace mantel. But, we are currently giving it a full renovation that we are hoping to wrap up in the next week! I can’t wait to share the final details and tutorial soon!
