Harrogate Christmas & Gift sees a glittering return as Candlelight unveils its must-see Christmas ’26 range
Harrogate’s beloved Christmas & Gift is set to sparkle brighter than ever this year as Candlelight prepares to unveil its highly-anticipated Christmas ’26 range – marking a triumphant return to the event after a 15-year absence.
Back by overwhelming demand, Candlelight’s presence at the fair is already generating excitement among buyers, retailers, and festive décor enthusiasts eager to see what the iconic brand has crafted for the upcoming season.
The showcase in Harrogate represents Candlelight’s second exclusive sneak peek of its Christmas ’26 collection. It follows the success of the brand’s Christmas Showroom at London’s Business Design Centre in December, where the first preview drew strong attendance and enthusiastic feedback.
Building on that momentum, Candlelight aims to bring fresh inspiration to Harrogate while recapturing the nostalgic appeal that made its earlier appearances so memorable.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be returning to Harrogate after so many years”
Visitors to the fair can look forward to an elevated and immersive experience, as Candlelight unveils a collection designed to celebrate the timeless warmth of the festive season while capturing modern trends.
The Christmas ’26 range highlights the brand’s signature attention to craftsmanship, detail, and affordability – qualities that have earned Candlelight a loyal following across the UK giftware and home décor market.
Although full details of the collection remain under wraps until opening day, Candlelight Head of Brand Tommy Bartles hints at themes that blend rich, atmospheric palettes with fresh contemporary accents.
“Expect a strong return to natural textures, traditional motifs, and giftable items crafted to appeal not only to independent retailers seeking distinctive pieces, but also to larger stores looking to expand their seasonal offering,” he says.
Candlelight’s decision to return to Harrogate Christmas & Gift after 15 years underscores the brand’s renewed commitment to engaging directly with customers and the wider industry. As one of the UK’s most cherished seasonal trade events, the fair offers an ideal platform for showcasing creativity while capturing the spirit of the festive season. For Candlelight, its comeback marks both a celebration of heritage and a strategic step forward.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be returning to Harrogate after so many years,” says Kate Winch, Head of Sales at Candlelight. “The reaction to our London showroom preview was phenomenal, and Harrogate felt like the perfect next stage to share the excitement. The demand to see Candlelight back at the fair has been incredible, and we can’t wait for visitors to experience the magic of our Christmas ’26 collection.”
With renewed energy, a bold new collection, and a warm reception awaiting them, Candlelight’s return is already shaping up to be one of the standout highlights of this year’s Harrogate Christmas & Gift. As anticipation continues to build, one thing is certain: the magic of Christmas is set to glow a little brighter in Harrogate this year.
