They can be hung on your Christmas tree or from a window, creating a magic effect.

Already proving popular on TikTok, the hashtag #floatingcandles has already amassed 73.8million views, with many content creators having demonstrated how magical they look when you’ve settled down for the evening with a mulled wine.
