Holiday Glow — Celebrate Safely & Wisely with Bee Coco Candle

Noreen Francis

The holidays are upon us — twinkling lights, cozy scents, and all the festive warmth we love! At Bee Coco Candle, we’re all about creating that perfect ambiance: clean-burning, non-toxic, and beautifully designed candles that make your space glow.

But as homes fill with candles and cozy corners, it’s also the season to remember one thing: fire safety. Every year, home fires spike during the holidays — often due to unattended or poorly made candles. Let’s keep the cheer high and the risks low.


The Holiday Candle Risk You Should Know

Candles add magic to any space — but they also come with responsibility. Even one unsafe pour or the wrong wick size can lead to cracked glass, tunneling, or dangerous flare-ups.

At Bee Coco, every single candle we sell has been fired, tested, and tested again to ensure safe burning. We run countless burn tests to guarantee proper wick sizing, wax stability, and flame behavior.

That’s not something that can happen at a quick “pour-your-own” experience — and there’s a reason you’re asked to sign an accident waiver at those events. When melted wax, open flames, and untested materials mix, the risk of burns or accidents rises fast.

We take that responsibility seriously, which is why our testing process is non-negotiable. Your safety is always worth more than a trendy candle-pouring night.

Why Bee Coco Candle Doesn’t Offer Candle-Bar Parties

We love creativity and community — but we also love safety, consistency, and quality even more.

While “make-your-own” candle bars look fun, they involve a long list of uncontrolled variables:

  • Unverified wax and wick combinations
  • Inconsistent fragrance loads
  • Unapproved vessels that can crack or overheat
  • Limited or no testing of the final product

A candle that burns too hot, releases soot, or overheats its container isn’t just disappointing — it’s a real hazard.

That’s why we choose not to host make-your-own candle events. We prefer to pour and test every candle under safe, controlled conditions so you can enjoy that same cozy glow with complete peace of mind.


A Safer, Festive Alternative: DIY Non-Toxic Home Diffuser Parties

Now for the fun part — we still want you to celebrate scent and creativity! This season, we recommend hosting a Make-Your-Own Non-Toxic Home Diffuser Party instead.

Here’s why diffusers are the safer choice:

  • No flames = no fire risk
  • No wax pouring or heating involved
  • Made with the safest, non-toxic diffuser bases and clean fragrance oils
  • Long-lasting scent throw and easy customization
  • Still social, creative, and completely Bee Coco approved

How to Host Your Diffuser Party

  1. Gather friends around a sturdy table (away from pets and decor).
  2. Set out safe glass vessels, diffuser base oils, and our curated clean fragrance blends.
  3. Let guests mix scents like Cedarwood + Clove or Vanilla + Evergreen.
  4. Add reeds, label bottles, and decorate with festive ribbon.
  5. Sip cocoa, play carols, and enjoy the warm company — no waiver needed!

Because Your Peace of Mind Matters

At Bee Coco Candle, we’ll always choose safety over shortcuts and quality over trends. Every candle we pour is tested, refined, and retested — because what you bring into your home should bring comfort, not concern.

So this holiday season, light the safe way. Enjoy your Bee Coco Candles knowing they’ve been poured with care, and add a touch of creativity with your very own DIY diffuser gathering.

Here’s to a holiday season full of warmth, scent, and sparkle — safely and beautifully.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Bee Coco Candle
