Don't Miss the Huntington Home Snow Globe Candles Coming to Aldi

This post is an open thread.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2024.

Aldi just dropped its first batch of Christmas decorations and all sorts of items to help get you in the spirit for the winter holidays. The most recent weekly ad features ceramic Christmas trees, two-foot tabletop LED trees, holiday-themed mugs and bowls, cookie jars, and more.

One of the more eye-catching Christmas decorations is a snow globe candle that comes in several colors and scents. It features a scented candle in a decorative base, and the lid is a small removable snow globe. Inside the snow globe is a quaint winter scene with trees, sometimes a house, and plenty of snowflakes.

What We Know:

The Huntington Home Snow Globe Candle (Product Code: 709849) is and Aldi Find, which means it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and once that sells out, it’s gone unless Aldi decides to bring it back next year. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that are not in stock at your local store.

The snow globe candles are scheduled to arrive in Aldi stores on October 23rd, 2024.

The Huntington Home Snow Globe Candles cost $6.99 each in 2024. That’s the same price they cost in 2023.

The candles are 7 ounces this year. That’s down from 7.05 ounces in 2023.

These Aldi snow globe candles are not an exact replica of other candles on the market as far as I can tell. Back in 2023, I did notice that Anthropologie sold a similar 11.5-ounce snow globe candle for $38, but I don’t see it on their website now. Sam’s Club also sells a larger 26-ounce snow globe candle for around $20.

Going by ounces, the Aldi snow globe candle is about $1 per ounce. The Anthropologie snow globe candle was about $3.30 per ounce, and the Sam’s club snow globe candle is about 77 cents per ounce. That puts the Aldi candle in the mid-priced range.

Something important I noticed when researching the snow globe candles from Sam’s Club is that several customer reviews mention that the globes don’t contain water. I couldn’t find information to confirm whether the Anthropologie snow globe candle didn’t contain water either, but it looked like it didn’t.

With that said, the Aldi snow globe candles do not contain water either. That seems to be how these types of candles are often designed.

Here’s more information about the Aldi snow globe candle:

2024 scents are White Woods & Musk (Beige), Peppermint Buttercream (Pink), and Gingerbread Cookies (Blue).
2023 scents were Sweet Cinnamon Wood (white), Peppermint Buttercream (blue), and Bergamot & Mahogany (pink)
Candles are 7 ounces in 2024

One frequent issue with these candles last year was that customers would pick up a candle by the globe portion in the store, and often the base would fall out and break. So, be sure to lift these candles by the base and not by the top.

What We Don’t Know:

I haven’t yet purchased any of these candles, but I might buy some when they arrive in my local stores. In the meantime, I don’t know how well these candles burn, how strongly they are scented, or how long they last. I also don’t know what these candles are made of, although many Aldi candles are a soy blend. We write open threads to provide readers with a place to discuss Aldi products.
